Healthy beans and Quinoa

Beans are chock full of wonderful meatless protein and tons of fiber to keep you fuller longer. They are a wonderful addition to any meal. This recipe can be used as the main dish, or used as a side dish. Adding cooked chopped chicken is a great way to make it a meal! My favorite way to eat these beans is to start with 1/2 cup cooked quinoa, 1cup beans then a generous scoop of plain Greek yogurt... And a few diced jalapeños~ yummy! And very filling.

1 bag 16 bean mix(super target)
Soak beans a couple hours, then drain off that water
In a large pot, bring to boil beans, water( enough to well cover bean),2 packets trader joes chicken broth, organic 21 blend seasonings(tj's) sprinkled all over
Cover and simmer on low about 2 hours
In separate small pan, sautéed 1t. Coconut oil, 3-4 fresh garlic cloves chopped, 1/4 red onion chopped, handful chopped carrots, celery, bell peppers... Or any veggies you like.
Add to cooking beans, stir in.
