Beans are a popular breakfast item in Europe, and for good reason: They’re loaded with protein, and studies show that a high-protein breakfast increases satiety and reduces hunger throughout the day. This super-healthy recipe calls for chard but you can use any leafy green you like.
Gluten Free, Veggie
Directions
- Bring 2 cups water and vinegar to a simmer in a saucepan.
