Black beans are a good source of fibre and protein so this bright and flavourful salsa isn’t just delicious, it’s good for you too! Serve with tortilla chips.
Protein is kind of a buzz word lately, and that’s a good thing! Protein is the building blocks for our bodies. It is essential for building and repairing body tissues such as muscles, bones, hair and skin. As we age, our bodies stop regenerating like they used to, so it is important to add protein, particularly with collagen to our diets to help keep our muscles, bones, hair and skin strong. Protein helps us heal and provides energy.
