5 Things to do with a can of Black Beans

1. Include 1/3 cup of black beans in your morning omelette to add an extra 5 grams of protein to get you ready for the day!

2. Mix ½ cup of black beans into 1 cup of your favorite salsa. Add some cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a tasty low-fat, high fiber party dip.

3. Use ½ cup of black beans in addition to your usual quesadilla fillers. A ½ cup will add 7.5 grams of fiber to your meal and curb your cravings later on.

4. Make a delicious fresh chutney by mixing 1 cup of black beans with 1 cup chopped avocado, some chopped cilantro and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Serve with grilled or roasted chicken for an extra boost of fibre and disease-preventing antioxidants.

5. Add 1 cup of black beans to 3 cups cooked rice, the combination makes a complete protein with complementing amino acids from both.
