Folks often ask me what and how I eat. I don’t know about you, but I enjoy eating! You’re not going to find me skipping meals. In fact, I typically eat 5-6 times a day. Now those are not full meals, but smaller “mini” meals or snacks in between meals. I find this keeps my energy strong throughout the day by preventing big swings in blood sugar levels.
A little something that I almost always have in the fridge is what I am sharing with you today. It’s super easy to make. You can eat it as is, as a dip, on top of rice cakes-chicken-fish-eggs, or rolled into a flour or corn tortilla! Plus, it’s quick to make and keeps for several days in the fridge.
1 can black beans
1 can chickpeas or white kidney beans
1 can rotel tomatoes
1 can corn
2 large avocados
Il rinse and drain all of the above, with the exception of the rotel tomatoes. That helps remove some of the excess salt. In fact, when possible, I buy organic salt free versions of the veggies. There is plenty of sodium in the tomatoes. Cut up the avocados into small chunks and mix it all together. If you really want to make it more “dip-like” go ahead and mash it up or use a food processor. I’m not big on “kitchen-time” so I usually leave it as is.
That’s all there is to it. Quick and easy. AND, healthy for you. You will get a wonderful source of protein, fiber and complex carbohydrates. Try it and let me know what healthy recipes you have to share. Especially if they prep time takes < 5 minutes.
EAT REAL (real food, that is) and stay strong!
