Did you know that eating lentils on New Years Eve brings luck!? At least this is what Italians traditionally believing in! Aside from that, lentils are a secret super food! With the year ending very soon, I created a really nice light recipe for you: a Mediterranean Lentil Soup with Grilled Salmon!

Nye Year’s Eve is coming tomorrow, so let’s try something new! The ingredients are pretty simple and easy to get. And again, the nutritional facts are perfect for your healthy lifestyle.

But why are lentils considered as a secret superfood?

Well first of all, when we are talking about superfoods, everyone will immediately come up with acai, chia seeds, goji berry or quinoa. But we also have “locally sourced superfoods”, like for example blueberries, eggs, spinach or as already mentioned lentils!

Lentils are super rich in protein and high in fiber. In combination with brown rice, they can give you the same quality of protein as meat. But if you eat lentils instead of red or processed meat, you make a healthier choice for your heart. Due to its fiber, it can also curb your appetite, as it keeps you feeling full longer than other nutrients would do.

A single serving meets already 33% of the fiber you need each day. In addition to that it will lower your cholesterol and protects against diabetes and cancer.

What about the salmon?

The salmon is a popular fish, which is well known for its Omega 3 fatty acids, which supports brain health and decreases inflammation. In addition to that salmon is also a great source of protein. This makes it for me for one of the best lentil soup recipes.
