Day 17 - Get Some Legumes In Your Diet!

Legumes are a great source of fiber, as well as an alternative protein source to meat.
They are extremely versatile and can be used for soups, dips, salads, sides, as tempeh, or even as a baking ingredient. Upload a pic of how you eat your legumes (or upload a recipe) and tag me @coach.solly on Instagram or @sollylama on Twitter and #ballisticstrength!

INGREDIENTS:
Tortillas (makes 8, 102 kcal each)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup corn flour
1 cup milk
1 large egg
1/2 cup egg whites
oil for frying

Smoky Pinto Beans

14oz (398mL) can pinto beans
1 canned chipotle pepper (puréed)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt

Huevos Rancheros (makes 4, 245 kcal each)

2 large eggs
1 cup egg whites
1 tsp butter or oil
2 cups smoky pinto beans
1 oz Asiago Cheese
1 cup Salsa
no/low calorie hot sauce

DIRECTIONS:

Prepare Smoky Beans by draining the canned beans and tossing with remaining ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to use; heat in a small pot on stove or in microwave.
Crépes: place flour in a large bowl and make a well. Add wet ingredients and beat lightly with a whisk, lumps are OK.
Heat a lightly oiled, medium size skillet over medium heat. Use a 1/3 cup measure to pour in crépe batter. Allow to brown slightly (45 sec- 1 min), then flip and heat for another minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat until batter is used up.
Lightly beat eggs and egg whites with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat the oil or butter in a small pan and quickly scramble the eggs. Cover and set aside.
Place one of the tortillas back onto the larger skillet (over low heat) and spoon on some hot sauce, spreading over the entire surface.
Sprinkle with grated cheese. Spoon 1/2 cup smoky beans over the lower half of tortilla.
Top the beans with 1/4 scrambled eggs and 1/4 cup salsa.
When the tortilla has browned and cheese melts, fold the top half over the lower half and transfer to a plate. Serve immediately with extra salsa if desired.

No-Whey! Hi-Fiber Protein Brownie Recipe

When it comes to protein brownies, the popular choice has always been to use beans to impart the chewy, richness we think of when it comes to brownies. I've never liked any of the bean-based brownie recipes I've tried. If you want to make delicious brownies that not only taste amazing but are also packed with protein and fiber - you should use hemp protein! I've always thought that there was a missed opportunity having such an affordable, nutrient rich protein powder without having recipes that didn't taste distinctly...green. Your search is over.
