This clinical trial tests how well bean smoothie supplementation (pulse) affects metabolic (how the body processes fats and sugar) and bowel (colon) health in healthy adults. Obesity is a substantial risk factor for developing many chronic diseases. Beans are a forgotten staple food that shows promise in improving health. Studies also identify improved metabolic parameters with bean consumption, consistent with protection against cancer. Unfortunately, data remains limited to recommend using beans in colorectal cancer primary prevention clinical guidelines. Pulses are the dried seeds of non-oilseed legumes, which include the following: dry beans, dry peas, chickpeas, and lentils. Consuming a bean smoothie supplementation may help improve bowel health in healthy adults.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Examine the feasibility (tolerance) of a simple bean intervention in adults undergoing colonoscopy.
II. Identify the effect of bean consumption on fecal, intestine and serum biomarkers of health.
OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM 1: Participants consume three cups of bean smoothie supplementation three times daily (TID) before meals for 14 days prior to standard of care (SOC) colonoscopy. Participants also undergo blood sample collection on study. After completion of intervention diet, participants crossover into Arm 2 for 14 days post-colonoscopy.
ARM 2: Participants consume their usual diet for 14 days prior to SOC colonoscopy. Participants also undergo blood sample collection on study. After completion of usual diet, participants then cross-over into Arm 1 for 14 days post-colonoscopy.
