Excited to have made a video to share about protein in beans and address some common questions I get! Check the link in my bio to watch.

Shout-out to my husband for being brilliant with technology... and for choosing such a lovely photo of me to use on the thumbnail. 🤣

It's that time of year - get out and smell the flowers like Beany Buddy. 🫘🌹 (And yes, have officially decided on the name now. And starting the #BeanDay series of his adventures. Or should we call it #BeanYay ?)

PS Did you know bean and other pulse plants also have gorgeous flowers that come in many colors?

One of the most common questions people ask me about beans is, “Are beans a good source of protein?” Absolutely, beans are rich in protein! 🫘 👍

Let’s dive into what the research says and bust some protein myths while we’re at it. Read the full post on my website, link in bio. 🔗

I think I'll have to name this adorable bean Beanie Baby. 🫘😍 Open to other suggestions though, because choosing a good name is important.

I'm confident we can all agree that we need bean stuffed animals in our lives. Thank you for an awesome surprise that 💯 made my day, @being_bratter! ❤️ @usdrybeans

@jellycat 👏 👏

Found a much better view of the White House, and this Fremont bean was begging to be photographed. It's been a fantastic Summit, and I'm feeling very grateful to @beansishow and all the colleagues at this conference!

At the AIM for Climate Summit in DC. 🌎 It's been an incredible day so far!

The hotel is right across from the White House. Turns out you can barely see the White House behind the fence, but that's okay because the focus of this photo is the beautiful little pinto bean soaking up the early morning sunbeams. ☀️ 🫘
