Beans and rice. (With a Spicy Avocado Sauce recipe.)

The idea isn't a new one. Cultures all over the world consume these two staple foods for most meals of the day.

Here in the United States these foods go almost unknown in most households. So now, I invite you to try them out for breakfast. Notice how you feel for the remainder of the day. I am not really all that hungry during for the remainder of the day when I start out with this meal.

Bean and Rice Breakfast Bowls with a Spicy Avocado Sauce

The avocado sauce is what makes this breakfast so yummy. It is super fast to prepare. It only requires you to toss everything into a blender and blend. Chop up a few green onions for a garnish and you are good to go!
