Yesterday, I had made a salad with bell pepper and green beans for dinner and figured, I should add a protein. First thought was white beans, which I decided against, because bean-on-bean action seemed perhaps a bit too samey.
So, I look over my counter and see tofu …which is also beans.
Oh, I also have these chewy soy chunks …which is also beans.
I ended up putting cashews into my salad. 😅
I guess, it would’ve been fine to pick one of the bean options after all, but yeah, just had a mild existential crisis when I wanted to not eat beans for once.

Quinoa works well, is not a bean and has protein!
Yeah, if I had planned it better, I could’ve cooked quinoa or lentils or something while I’m chopping the bell pepper. 🙃
