This meal is an excellent source of magnesium and vitamin C (if consumed with orange juice), and is a moderate source of protein (therefore 5-HTP and tryptophan). To add additional vitamin B-6 and vitamin E, also snack on a handful of almonds and a banana.
Baked beans are also a very nutritious alternative to cooking a meal. As they can be stored for a long time in the cupboard, and bread can be frozen, it is easy to keep a supply on hand.
Ingredients
- 1 220g can baked beans
- 2 slices bread, any type
- Margarine, if desired
Method
Pour baked beans into a microwave safe bowl and microwave until they reach the desired temperature. Toast bread, spread with margarine if desired, and pour baked beans over bread.
Serves 1.
