So here it is, Black Bean Salad Recipe:

Food Ingredients Needed:

• 2-15 ounce cans of 365 organic Whole Foods Black Beans
• 1-15 ounce cans of 365 organic Whole Foods Kidney Beans
• 1/2 cup frozen organic sweet corn kernals
• 1 medium red onion
• 2-3 cloves of garlic
• 1 large organic red pepper
• 1 large organic carrot
• 1 lime
• 1/2-1 cup Bragg’s Apple Cider vinegar (raw-unfiltered)
• 1/4-1/2 cup canola oil (I suggest using oil for taste and to add a healthy fat.  I know some of you are fearfull of fat but don’t be)
• sea salt (tbsp or to taste)

Utensils Needed:

• Large mixing bowl
• Rounded mixing spoon.
• Chopping knife
• Storage Container with lid.

Drain and thoroughly rinse all beans( I use 365 organic because NO preservatives added!!!). Place in large mixing bowl.  Chop and cube small all veggies plus garlic.  Add the chopped mix to the bowl along with the corn. 

Squeeze the lime into the apple cider mix lightly. Stir the cider mix and add 1 tbsp sea salt.  Pour this mixture into the bean and veggie mix while stirring until all added.  Lastly, stir and add the canola oil.

Mix for another minute.

Let sit for at least an hour before eating.  The longer it sits the better it gets.

“I want to start eating healthier and since reading your post on Amazing Greens I’ve been interested in it.  Yet, I don’t eat that healthy and I’m scared I’ll end up throwing it out because of the taste.  Any suggestions?” Kathy, Penn.

I’m sure there are many people out their saying the same thing so I’ve experimented this weekend to come up with a few alternatives to just simply adding it to juice, water or whatever.  I hope these healthy smoothie suggestions will help a junk food junky not mind eating healthy.  Remember, the more you cut out preservatives, gluten, chemicals etc..from your diet; the more sensitive you’ll be to eating unhealthy i.e. headaches, upset stomach.  Eat better and you’ll feel better!

Here are some quick smoothies for post workout (weights), breakfast or quick meal to go:
