I have made a batch of those last week, quick and easy to make and handy to keep when you feel peckish. What you need - 1 cup Oats - 4 tablespoon Almond Butter - 1 Banana (mashed) - 1 tbsp Chia Seeds - 24 g Chocolate Protein Powder (or Vanilla if preferred) Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and use your hands to blend all ingredients together well. Create approximately 8 balls out of the mixture. Store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. I often make double portion and freeze, and they are eaten within couple of weeks - which is a good thing, compliments to a chef as I say 😇

While I talk about avocado, lets enjoy it and get creative with this yummy food. Here is my idea for quick and easy recipe. I specifically included this recipe as it contains black beans. Black beans are rich in plant-based protein and fiber, helping to support digestion, gut health, and more stable blood sugar levels. They are also packed with important nutrients such as magnesium, iron, and folate, making them a nourishing addition to a balanced meal. What you need for 4 servings: - 1 ⅔ limes - 2 cups canned black beans - 1 tomato - 8 slices whole grain bread - ¼ cup pumpkin seeds Instructions Smash avocado flesh in a small bowl with the back of a fork. Juice lime and add 6 tsp juice with salt and pepper to taste to smashed avocado. Stir to combine thoroughly. Fold in drained black beans and season with salt to taste. Slice tomato into thick rounds. Optionally, heat a grill pan or skillet (preferably nonstick or cast iron) over medium heat. Cook tomato slices 1 minute on each side or until the slices are starting to brown. Remove from heat. (Alternatively, keep tomatoes raw.) Toast bread to desired doneness and spread each slice with avocado mixture. Top each half with tomato. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and more salt and pepper to taste.
