Nutritional values
Lentils are rich in protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins of the B group, and iron. The legumes make you full and strengthen the muscles. Avocado provides healthy omega-3 fatty acids, skin-boosting vitamin E, and filling fiber.
If the taste of mint is too special for you, you can replace the herb with basil or parsley, for example.
