Traditionally, this recipe would be made with dry beans, but I’ve created this super fast, super easy, no-pressure-cooker-needed version to make this recipe super accessible to everyone!
Heck yes! Beans and rice are a match made in heaven – a SUPER meal. It is incredibly nutritious as it packs 12g of complete plant protein in every serving, is rich with vitamins and minerals, and high in fiber which helps improve digestion. Couple it with some massaged kale and you are giving your body all the nutrients it needs!
Plus, one of my favorite simple tips to look and feel your absolute best is to fill half of your plate with fresh greens. This can be any green you love: massaged kale, shredded iceberg, chopped romaine, spring greens, arugula, and more! Why is this such a great tip?
This technique of filling half your plate with greens can be done with just about any recipe, but for more ideas check out my Creamy Lentil Curry with Roasted Butternut Squash or this Green Goddess Bowl. I also love coupling fresh greens with pasta in the same bowl – so delicious! If you make this recipe I would love to hear what you think in the comments below!
