These cozy, nourishing bowls make it easy to embrace the Mediterranean lifestyle. One standout recipe comes from René Ficek, RDN and owner of Seattle Sutton’s Healthy Eating: her slow cooker black bean soup. “This recipe features black beans as the star, with extra virgin olive oil for a healthy fat,” says René. “It’s high in fiber, rich in plant-based protein, and low in sodium—hitting all the marks for a balanced, Mediterranean-friendly meal.”
