Top Foods To Eat

I recently read an article of the top foods to eat. Among the list was spinach, carrots, nuts, blueberries and black beans. Black beans are one of my favorite foods. Black beans are not only good for your heart but have antioxidants which help to boost brain power. A 1/2 cup serving has 7.5 grams of fiber and 8 grams of protein, as well as being low in fat and calories. Here is one of my favorite recipes using black beans. It's a great side with grilled fish tacos.

Corn & Black Bean Salad

Combine 1 (15oz) can black beans drained & rinsed with 1 (7oz) can of "Mexicorn" drained, 1/4 cup cider vinegar, 1 Tbsp sugar and 1/4 tsp cumin. Serve at room temperature.

Enjoy!
