NUTRIENTS Per Serving (1 cup/250 mL) 220 Calories, 5 g Fat, 3.5 g Saturated Fat, 10 mg Cholesterol, 38 g Carbohydrates, 8 g Fibre, 23 g Sugar, 8 g Protein, 15 mg Sodium, 125 mg Potassium TIPS • A great idea for breakfast on the run or on your way to after school activities! • The pectin from the berries will thicken the shake the longer it sits. Plan to drink your shake soon after making it or simply add a little water to thin it out. • To get 1 cup (250 mL) cooked lentils, combine 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry lentils with 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) water in a medium saucepan, bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 5-20 minutes until tender. Add water as needed to keep the lentils covered. Once cooked, drain any excess liquid and gently rinse under cool water. Set aside to cool before adding to recipe. • Didn't use all the canned lentils in the recipe? Just place in a freezer bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 6 months for a quick and nutritious addition to soups, salads or casseroles. 10 | Cooking with Pulses | Snacks & Smoothies
