Lime Garlic Green Beans

Green beans are a power source of vitamin C and fiber! They are low in carbohydrates and their high fiber content helps keep you full for longer! In this recipe I used whole garlic cloves to add a hint of garlic flavor instead of the strong taste when crushing them. I also like to steam my veggies as it is the best way to cook vegetables without reducing their nutritional content.
