🫘 5-Bean Lazy Lady Lunch

Protein-packed. Fiber-full. Effort? Absolutely minimal.

Ingredients:

• 1 can mixed beans (or 1 can each of your faves: black, kidney, pinto, chickpeas, cannellini)

• ½ red bell pepper, chopped

• ¼ red onion, finely diced

• 1 handful chopped parsley or cilantro

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 1 tbsp olive or avocado oil

• Salt + pepper to taste

• Optional: ½ tsp garlic powder or cumin for a little zing

 Instructions:

1. Rinse and drain beans.

2. Toss everything in a big bowl.

3. Stir, taste, adjust — and boom, you’re done.

4. Chill for 30 mins if you’ve got time, but honestly… just eat it.

Kick It Up a Notch:

• Add a smoky swirl: Stir in a spoonful of chipotle salsa or smoked paprika for depth

• Top it off: Sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips, avocado slices, or dairy-free sour cream

• Serve smart: Spoon over cornbread waffles, baked sweet potatoes, or a bed of wild rice

• Brighten the bowl: Finish with fresh cilantro, lime juice, and pickled red onions

• Make it a meal: Add sautéed greens or roasted veggies on the side for color and crunch
