8,900 people in the U.S. – that’s 24 every day – end up in the emergency room because they wanted to eat some delicious avocado, according to an analysis done by Insider. Most of them are women between the ages of 20 and 40 and the injuries typically happen to their hands as they were cutting the avocados.

So excited to share that I took the @healthline 21 Day Mindful Eating Challenge a few weeks ago! I’ll be taking over Healthline’s Instagram Stories tomorrow to share my experience throughout the challenge. Overall, I find it SO helpful to practice different mindful eating techniques throughout the challenge and then continue to incorporate the ones that work best for me after! If you’re interested in signing up for the challenge (it’s free) the link is in my bio #veggininthecity #healthlinepartner #mindfuleating

We know that millennials love avocados, but we definitely didn’t know that so many people end up hurting themselves trying to make a delicious meal! The analysis reported to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission’s national injury database and made a calculation based on the number of hospitals included in the national database. “Nearly all of those visits were due to lacerations and injuries to hands and fingers, caused while cutting avocados — although there was at least one instance of someone slipping off of a stool while picking avocados as well,” Insider writes.

I knew I saved these beans for a reason and am grateful I had them today for a quick put together meal. Just reheated my beans, seasoned some potato wedges and sautéed broccoli and onions. These beans are super delicious with a lot of sweet umami flavor. A nice change up to the often savory and intense flavors many pair with black beans. . Miso Maple Black Beans 2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained 1 tbsp rice vinegar 2 tsp tamari or soy sauce 2 tsp maple syrup 1/4 tsp allspice 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp garlic chili sauce 1/2 tbsp miso paste 1/4 cup water 3-4 tbsp warm water . Add miso paste and 3-4 tbsp warm water to a bowl and gently combine together making sure to remove lumps. Bring a pan to low-medium heat and add beans, tamari, maple syrup, all spice, garlic powder and 1/4 cup water. Heat and stir and allow to cook and become fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add rice vinegar and miso mixture. Turn heat off and stir to fully combine. If you want mixture to become thicker, lightly mash some of the beans with the back of your cooking utensil. Stir to combine and adjust seasonings to your preference. Paired my beans with broccoli, red onion, red cabbage, avocado and brown rice.

What can you do to avoid becoming a part of this painful statistic? Definitely avoid using a knife to remove the pit from an avocado and do it with a spoon instead!
