🍲 Ingredients

White Beans – White beans are so good for you. They’re packed with fiber and protein, a good source of micronutrients including folate, magnesium, and vitamin B6, and with them being budget-friendly they’re so easy to add to recipes

Nutritional Yeast – Nutritional yeast is one of my staples in my pantry. It’s high in B vitamins, it’s especially high in vitamin B12 which is energy boosting. Nutritional yeast can be a great substitute for vegans when trying to add a cheesy flavor into recipes
