500 Calorie Vegan Spicy Bean Salad (Intermittent Fasting-Friendly!)

January 24, 2019
Are you, along with many others, on a January 'health kick'? Or maybe (like me) you're trying out the 5:2 diet (reduced eating on 2 days out of 7, unrestricted eating on the other 5) and looking for inspiration for those 500 calorie days? Look no further, here is a super quick (10 minute!) raw vegan bean salad, which is super fresh and healthy. Don't let the name deceive you though, it's anything but boring! It tastes just like your favorite fajita filling, but without the carb-slump. The great thing about this recipe being raw is that the serving is huge, and you'll definitely be getting in your daily serving of veggies, as well as a high protein content for good measure.
