Easy breakfast idea - fiber & protein
Fiber is soo important in our every day diets so I try my best to get in as much as I can ! Enjoy ❤️
MEAL IS FOR 2 SERVINGS ( if you need more adjust to the amount needed )
wash 2 cups of black beans , add to a pot along with 1/4 cut of an onion , 1 garlic , and 3 tbs of salt .
cover with cold water . Boil on medium high for 30-40 mins (tip : add a fork to make it cook faster ) keep an eye on the beans if the water starts to evaporate add more cold water as long as they stay full covered in water . You’ll know when they’re done when they are soft .
while that’s cooking you can prepare the potatoes .
Cut up 4 golden potatoes into cubes .
Thinly slice 1 jalapeno (2 if you like spice )
Thinly slice some onions this part you can add as much as you like .
In a bowl add your potato’s along with 2 tsp of salt , 2 tsp white pepper , 1 tsp garlic powder , 1 tsp Italian seasoning , 2 tsp paprika & mix . Set aside while they soak in all the yummy flavors .
Once your beans are close to being done you can start sauteeing your jalapeños and onions ! This part you can have fun with , add tomato’s , even bell peppers if you’d like this is all I had on hand this day !
(Add 1 tbs of olive oil and sautee . )
once your beans are done you can cook your eggs however you like . I add some cottage cheese for some protein ! (:

Incorporating a breakfast high in fiber and protein, like this black bean and potato meal, is an excellent way to support digestion and maintain energy levels throughout the day. Black beans provide not only a significant amount of dietary fiber but also essential plant-based protein, which helps in muscle repair and keeps you feeling full longer. Potatoes, especially when seasoned with spices such as paprika and Italian seasoning, add complex carbohydrates that offer sustained energy release. One tip I’ve found helpful when cooking dried beans is to soak them overnight to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility, though boiling with a fork as mentioned helps too. Adding aromatics like garlic and onion during cooking enhances flavor while providing additional antioxidants. The inclusion of jalapeños offers a nice spicy kick that can be adjusted based on your heat preference, and sautéing them with onions in olive oil brings out delicious savory notes. For protein, cottage cheese is a great complement offering a creamy texture and extra nutrients like calcium and B vitamins. Cooking eggs alongside adds another protein boost and versatility—you can scramble, fry, or poach them depending on what you like best. This breakfast idea is perfect for meal prepping, as you can cook larger batches of beans and seasoned potatoes in advance and reheat them quickly in the morning. It’s also adaptable: feel free to add fresh tomatoes, bell peppers, or other veggies for more flavors and nutrients. Overall, starting your day with a fiber and protein-rich breakfast can aid digestion, promote fullness, and provide steady energy, making it easier to stay focused and active.
