Canned beans have a long shelf-life and are so versatile!

Here are some fun and easy ideas to get you excited about including more beans in your routine:

  • Make an herbs/bean salad: beans + olive oil + vinegar of choice + herbs of choice (fresh or dried)

  • Toss in a grain bowl or salad for some extra protein and fiber

  • Make 3 bean chili: 3 types of beans + crushed tomatoes + chili powder, black pepper, salt + sautéed onions/garlic

  • Add to vegetarian noodle soup: think vegetarian versions of the classics - chickpeas instead of chicken noodle soup, white beans in Italian wedding soup, or a spicy, creamy black bean soup

  • Veggie quesadilla w/ refried beans: the refried beans help hold the quesadilla together so you can use less (or no) cheese and still enjoy that creamy deliciousness

  • Black bean brownies: a healthier version that tastes just as fudgy and decadent!
