Lentils have been around for ages, they are among the oldest known foods, but it is only recently they get a place at the table globally. Lentils are as good for the environment as they are for our health. They are super versatile and a powerhouse of nutrients.

I was never fond of bananas as a kid, in fact I was always very wary of any snack that had anything to do with bananas.  I quite frankly loathed the smell of it. But when I had my son, bananas being one of the foods introduced in the first year of his eating solids, I started buying them. Of course, initially he could not eat the whole banana and I became the dustbin for the leftovers (eye roll) I will not lie sometimes I started enjoying it. I think I used to be so tired with mothering duties, that a sweet snack probably gave me the much needed energy to keep going. I think that is when I realized what they mean when they say Bananas are so called mood lifters, once you eat one you do feel very satisfied as they are full of fiber and sugar thus making you feel energized.
