The Bean Queen is back, with a fibre-rich meal to lighten up your midweek mood. It’s freezeable too, so go ahead and double the recipe and freeze in small batches, making midweek meals an absolute cinch.
Beans are a sexy tango of protein and complex carbs, making them incredibly satisfying. Expect this dish to fuel your toes all day long. That’s because complex carbs are not, as the name might suggest, neurotic or derailed. Complex carbs such as beans and brown rice are more wholesome than simple carbs, like white bread. The more complex a carb, the longer it takes to breakdown in the gut and the happier your intestinal highway. There’s nothing sexy about constipation, so get your tango on!
