Avocado, Kale, and Mixed Bean Bowls

Now a recipe for lovers of savory breakfasts! Beans, avocado and kale are a super trio of fats, fiber, and good carbs. You can serve these bowls hot or cold, and they can even be eaten for lunch. If you need an extra dose of protein (perhaps after a session of heavy lifting) add a poached egg on top!

Serves: 4 bowls (1 serving per bowl)

• 1 can (14 oz.) black beans, drained
• 1 can (14 oz.) kidney beans, drained
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 avocadoes, flesh sliced

Method:

1. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil into a pot and place over a low heat, add the onions, paprika, tomato, black beans, and kidney beans and stir to combine.
2. Simmer over a medium heat for about 10 minutes until bubbling and thick, and add a pinch of salt and pepper to season.
