I’m going to guess not, but with this two-minute ADHD-friendly recipe, you’ll get to!
It’s one of the fastest ways to get 40g of both fiber and protein while getting some impressive nutrients. Now, since it’s extremely high in fiber, you can do just a half-can of beans or spread it over a few days. But if your gut can handle it…
Enjoy!
