What do we mean by green sauce? We mean fresh basil and parsley, leafy spinach, whizzed up with oat milk, garlic and lemon juice, to create a tangy, herby, bright green sauce, which perfectly complements the smooth creamy white beans. A unique savoury toast recipe you will LOVE! And you can freeze the sauce if you’re doing meal prep – this is one of our favorite freezable meal ideas!
Greens and beans on toast: a toast to healthy breakfasts!
As with all our recipes, this is a healthy breakfast toast recipe (much like our french toast with stewed apples!). We love the idea of healthy beans on toast, because it makes a filling and hearty meal. The bread provides a good base of carbs. We use whole grain bread because it is healthier than refined carbs. It is also more filling, because the bran and germ (which are stripped to make refined grains), are super fibrous. The green sauce is full of spinachy goodness (iron, fibre, magneusium etc), as well as being super low in fat and sugar. As for the white beans, they are the real powerhouse of our greens and beans breakfast. So much so that they get their own segment.
Wicked White Beans
Well, first and most importantly, white beans (and indeed any beans) are a great source of plant based protein. Protein is a fundamental part of a healthy diet, as it contributes to healthy muscle maintenance, and provides crucial amino acids. Protein is also super important if you are trying to lose weight – not only because it is good to eat as healthily as possible if you are attempting to lose weight, but also because it is very filling! The same applies to fibre – super important for your digestion in general, but extra important for weight loss, as it is also very filling. 1 cup of white beans contains a whole 17g protein and 11g fibre!
