Healthy, because
Just 1 ounce of walnuts cover the daily requirement of linoleic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is indispensable for the body. The combination of lentils and cheese provides our muscles with plenty of high-quality protein.
Even smarter
Instead of red lentils, try using beluga lentils, as they contain significantly more satiating fiber.
