Beans and Rice or Rice and Beans 

Vegetarian lunch idea 

This was super quick ,affordable and easy to make.
It has lot's of protein, and fiber it would travel well for lunch just make a batch ahead of time to take to work .

 You could also freeze the leftovers to take the following week. 

What you'll need 

coconut oil 

1 can  garbanzo beans

1 can  black beans 

1 can corn

1/2 onion chopped

2 cups spinach

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp garlic salt

pepper to taste

brown minute rice 

Cook rice in the microwave as directed we made 2 servings of rice 

saute chopped onion in coconut oil in a pot 

drain the Garbanzo beans 

add the both can of beans and corn into the pot, I did not drain the black beans or the corn. 

add the spices and spinach stir bring to a boil reduce to simmer

stir occasional cook for 10/15 minutes serve over rice

2/3 cup of cooked rice and a cup & 1/2 of the beans stew comes to 514 calories which is a lot of food !

If you are trying to lose weight this is a great lunch idea, until you reach your goal weight you'll want to stick to a lean meat and veggie for dinner.
