I found Nutmeg Notebook through my weight watcher message boards. The photos of her healthy recipes are just gorgeous and occasionally she does product reviews. The one I came across that intrigued me was for an Organic Sprouted Bean Trio from truRoots . Per 1/3 cup there is 160 cals, .5 g fat, 11 g fiber and 11 g protein. Is that unbelievable or what? Of course I gave a resounding yes! Sprouted Mung Beans, Sprouted Quinoa, Whole Grain Quinoa  Germinated Brown Rice, Sprouted Green Lentils  Organic Chia Seeds and Organic Haiga Rice  The first thing I thought of was a curry lentil soup because the last time I had some from Native Sun it was so amazing I haven't been able to get it out of my head. Every time I go back I ask if they have the soup and no far no luck. To my complete happiness this came out just as amazing and was super easy. It's so creamy, flavorful and has a hint of sweetness. Thank you to truRoots for this amazing sample pack!
