Oxygen: What's your favorite clean-meal recipe?
Messina: I have a lot of favorites, but one is my three bean salad. I just love beans! I mix chickpeas, large red kidney beans and black beans with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and fresh basil, then toss with balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. I can eat that meal every day!

“This is a delicious protein-packed dish that plays on the warm flavors of fall.”
– Christine Bonaventura

This is Mom's original recipe but other adaptations can be easily made (such as turning this into Hawaiian hash or into a vegetarian chili).

You can definitely add more vegetables or beans to this if you wish, which will make this go even further. You can add oregano and basil (about 2 tbsp or to taste) if you wish, but I did not include this in the recipe. Sometimes I like to add jalapeños or hot sauce to my own serving.

Excellent for lunch! This meal keeps you full and highly energized (especially if you make it a complete meal by adding a side salad and possibly a very small whole wheat roll)!!! If you are serving this for others, you can put a very small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top to make it look really glamorous. Enjoy!

Quick stew I through together for lunch one day. I don't understand how the calorie count can possibly be so high, but I couldn't find anything wrong with the calculations, so there it is :shrug:

Great on a bed of salad greens, or as filling for a sandwich or pita!

Just wanted to whip up a soup to use up some green veggies for lunch. None of these amounts are set in stone, nor are the ingredients, for that matter. I only used this as a calculator, but wanted to save it to add to my meal planner. That said, it really IS quite good! A bit high in calories, but I had it with fish, so it worked out ok for the meal.

This is super quick when I don't feel like cooking.

Great light salad when you need a little kick.
If you grill your own chicken breast, you may want to add some taco seasoning while grilling.

A fruity chicken salad to help get in the fruits I need for the day. Plus it is perfect for a snack with crackers.

Very low in calories and delicious!
