RSS4 Quick & Budget-Friendly Suppers with Canned Beans
Convenience in a can
When I was a vegan college student trying to get enough protein and calories on a tight budget, almost every meal I whipped up started with beans—vegan chili, vegan burritos, vegan pasta and beans (you get the idea). Now that I’m a busy working mom and a more creative cook, I still embrace the convenience and healthfulness of canned beans. I mash black beans with salsa for quick tostadas, or toss chickpeas with pesto, artichoke hearts and whole-wheat spaghetti for a family-friendly pasta. I feel good knowing that beans are a high-quality source of protein and a good source of heart-healthy dietary fiber. A typical 1⁄2-cup serving provides about 7 grams of protein and up to 7 grams of fiber.
