Pack in the pulses: The fuss-free way to add more protein and fibre to your meals

From veganfoodandliving.com

Want to increase your protein and fibre intake without the hassle? Tilda’s new range of ready-to-eat pulse pouches makes it easier than ever

Lentils, chickpeas, beans… pulses are an essential part of a plant-based diet and they’re super versatile, too. Whether it’s a lentil dahl, chickpea ‘tuna’ or a bean chilli, there’s so much you can do to turn them into meals that taste great and keep you full for hours.

“I always encourage people to think about what they can add to their plate, rather than what they should remove,” says Jenna Hope, Registered Nutritionist and Author.

“It’s a mindset that’s becoming more popular as people look for simple ways to eat well, whether that’s increasing the diversity of plants they eat or finding easy ways to get more goodness into their diet. Pulses are a perfect example of that. They’re naturally rich in fibre and protein, incredibly versatile and make meals more satisfying without adding lots of extra effort.”

So easy! It doesn’t need to be difficult or bland – in fact, including them in your daily meals is easier than ever thanks to Tilda’s new range of pre-cooked pulses, all of which are a brilliant source of protein and fibre.

Delicious and convenient, there’s no need to drain them and they’re ready to eat straight from the pouch (or warm in 45 seconds) – ideal for speedy lunches, fuss-free dinners or even a healthy addition to your camping or festival food stash.

“I love keeping ready-to-eat pulses in the cupboard because they’re such an easy shortcut for busy days,” continues Jenna. “I’ll stir lentils through a pasta sauce, toss cannellini beans into a salad or add chickpeas to a grain bowl for extra texture and flavour. Having convenient options like Tilda Pulses makes those small, positive habits much easier to stick to.”

The new range includes Beluga Lentils, Mixed Lentils, Tomato & Red Pepper Lentils, Cannellini Beans, Lemon and Basil Beans and Smoked Paprika Chickpeas, so stock up your cupboards now!
