Nutritional Benefits: Lupin beans are a nutritional powerhouse. They contain three times more protein than quinoa, three times more antioxidants than most berries, and a lot of fiber and potassium. With lupins being very rich in nutrients such as iron, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and zinc, they are actually low in calories and carbs. In addition, they are an amazing source of zeaxanthin and polyphenols that prevent oxidative damage and phytosterols that lower cholesterol. Lupin beans also contain all the 9 essential amino acids making them a perfect plant-based protein source.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups lupin beans, pre-brined
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1 tbsp black Himalayan salt
  • 1 cup extra-virgin coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika powder
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 cup basil or coriander leaves, finely chopped

Instructions

  • 1)

    Rinse and strain the beans three times if you bought them in a prepared jar.

  • 2)

    Place all ingredients into a strong blender and blend until very smooth.

  • 3)

    You will need to stop the machine several times, scrape down the rough paste on the sides, and push the crushed beans back into the center to blend again until you achieve a smooth consistency.

  • 4)

    Place the smooth paste into a bowl and serve garnished with a sprinkle of paprika powder.

  • 5)

    You can serve it with crackers or bread, or better still spread it onto a sandwich or roti or use it in salads
