Cool Beans

Canned beans. Nutritious, healthful, expedient, simple, inexpensive, low carbon footprint, customizable upon consumption with preferred spices/seasonings. A meal in a (recyclable) can. Expedient and healthful. My personal favorite canned bean varieties for this are garbanzos, black, and black eyed peas (they're actually beans). For my taste, commercial taco seasoning blends works great on this nutrition source. A possible positive factor for many individuals is that the primary ingredient is a staple at most food banks (and for good reasons). It is difficult to beat Whisk's health score on this "recipe".

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Open selected can of beans. Can opener will be required if can does not have easy-open top.

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Consume immediately out of the can/serving container and relax, pause, savor and enjoy while augmenting/experimenting with your preferred spices/seasonings. A spoon, or other similar utensil, may be helpful.

Recycle the can, but rinse spoon for future use.

Step 6

Carry on.
