Avocado, Kale, and Mixed Bean Bowls


Avocado, Kale, and Mixed Bean Bowls


Now a recipe for lovers of savory breakfasts! Beans, avocado and kale are
a super trio of fats, fiber, and good carbs. You can serve these bowls hot or
cold, and they can even be eaten for lunch. If you need an extra dose of
protein (perhaps after a session of heavy lifting) add a poached egg on
top!
Serves: 4 bowls (1 serving per bowl)
Container: 4 airtight containers

Ingredients:
½ onion, finely chopped

1 fresh tomato, chopped into chunks
1 can (14 oz.) black beans, drained
1 can (14 oz.) kidney beans, drained
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 avocadoes, flesh sliced
2 cups chopped kale (chop it quite finely as kale tends to be
tough)

1. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil into a pot and place over a
low heat, add the onions, paprika, tomato, black beans, and
kidney beans and stir to combine.
2. Simmer over a medium heat for about 10 minutes until bubbling

3. Divide the bean mixture between your 4 bowls and leave to cool
slightly before placing the sliced avocado and kale on top.

4. Drizzle some extra olive oil over top of the kale and avocado
before covering with plastic wrap and placing into the fridge until
needed.


Not-So-Hungry Snack Bags

You know those mornings when you just can’t stomach a full-on breakfast,
and you just want a little something to nibble on? That’s what this recipe is

and packing them into little bags or containers. Even though these snack
bags are small, they provide a good dose of energy and healthy fat.
Serves: 7 snack bags (1 serving per snack bag)
Container: 7 sealable bags or airtight containers (small ones will do)
Time: approximately 10 minutes
