Before You Dive Into This Delicious Recipe… 🍲

Let me ask you something.

Have you ever said, “I know I should eat more plants... but I just don’t know how to make it work in real life?”

If so—you’re not alone. And you’re exactly who I created The PlantWhys Collective for.

It’s not a diet. It’s not a challenge.
It’s a lifestyle shift for real women with real lives—who want to feel better, lose weight, and stop feeling overwhelmed by all the “shoulds” when it comes to food.

Inside the Collective, you’ll get:

✅ A gentle, step-by-step 40-day Jumpstart
✅ Weekly live support + check-ins with certified coaches
✅ Quick, feel-good Pilates workouts (just 5 minutes a day)
✅ Monthly mindset coaching and book club
✅ Live cooking classes + bonus cookbooks
✅ And a private community (no Facebook drama here)

It’s like the support system you’ve always wanted, all in one place—with no guilt, no fads, and no shame.

You’ll see everything laid out clearly—whether you want to dip your toe in monthly or go all-in for the year.

You don’t need to go plant-based overnight.
You just need a simple path—and someone to walk it with you.

Now… ready for the recipe? Let’s do this. 🌱

Easy Black Beans

Jan 02, 2026

High-Protein • High-Fiber • Oil-Free • Pantry Friendly • 5 Minute meal

This is the easiest little comfort meal you can make — warm, savory, and surprisingly satisfying from just one can of black beans and pantry spices. Eat it like a cozy soup or spoon it over rice for an easy, nourishing meal.

I don't actually measure the 1/4 a teaspoon, I just add as dash or sprinkle of the seasonings to make it easy to throw together.

Ingredients

1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup vegetable broth
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a small saucepan.
Stir to combine.
Heat over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot and cozy.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Enjoy as a simple soup or spoon over rice for an easy, filling meal.

This is such a perfect “I don’t want to cook but I still want to feel good” recipe!
