So healthy, I'm like a fricken angel

The food of champions: fresh mango, Bunnie's bean salad, yam fries, aloe vera juice

Damn, it feels good to be healthy. By some weird quirk of nature, my body literally rebels against me if I eat foods it deems unfit such as anything overly cheesy/fatty/greasy/disgusting. Sometimes it's nice to me and lets me indulge, but most of the time it's faster out than in, if you know what I mean!

This meal was as delicious as it was healthy and I felt so energized after I went for a run! Then I promptly spent the day after nursing my sore knee. The recipe for this bean salad came from local blogger Bunnie, but I tweaked it a bit for my own preferences and for what happened to be in my fridge. You could totally add more protein to this by grilling some chicken breasts and rolling this up into a pita! The salad only tastes better the next day as the flavours soak in. To make this meal, you'll need:

• 1 can of black pinto beans
• 1 small red onion, chopped
  
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1/2 cup of corn
• juice of 1 lime
  
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  

Mix all the ingredients together into a flavourful stew and serve. As you can tell, I like my salads quite tangy so this may be too much flavour for everyone. The lime is essential to keep the avocados from turning colour, but you could cut back on the vinegars and/or add some sprinkling of sugar to lighten the taste.
