When you are trying to lose weight it’s a great idea to use lots of colour in your meals.
It ensures you don’t get bored, as it’s visually appealing. It also means you are getting loads of essential vitamins and minerals from your meals.
Beans are a great store cupboard staple that add a hit of protein to any meal.
When they are tinned they are already cooked and so are just so convenient. Be sure to drain well and rinse under cold water before using.
