Summary
7
This scramble delivers a solid dose of protein along with fibre and key nutrients from the beans and spinach, making it far more satisfying than a typical breakfast. It is substantial enough to keep hunger at bay well into the afternoon. The dish also reheats reasonably well, so it is worth making extra for the next day. A simple side of toast or fruit rounds it out nicely if you want a bigger meal.
