The Blue Zones Project is all about helping people live healthier, longer lives. But that doesn’t mean food prep should take just as long to achieve that goal. Blue Zones features more than 200 recipes on its website that promise requiring less than 30 minutes to assemble. They’ve got lima bean stew, white bean and zucchini burger, black bean chocolate brownies and many more. They all follow Blue Zones’ guidelines for food, which include a daily dose of cooked beans, reducing meat and egg consumption, and emphasizing plant-based ingredients, among other delicious things.
