Refried Beans are the base to most of my meals.  The healthiest cultures around the globe consume large amounts of beans.  That is the first green flag.  Beans are high in Fiber and many other nutrients.  Green Flag 2.  These beans include Garlic, Ginger, Walnuts and Bone Broth.  Delish!

When doing the Lion Diet I recommend finding a meal that works and repeating it.  I call my “usual” meal an Alpha Power Bowl.  The Alpha Power Bowl is my standard meal on the Maintenance Lion Diet plan.  In a bowl I start with Alpha Refried Beans.  They are topped with meats, veggies, sauces, eggs.  This can be eaten as a bowl or on keto tortillas.

The Alpha Refried Beans are like the mashed potatoes of my meals.  I am usually reheating my beans for my meals, so I have made some adjustments.  I make mine “looser” or thinner than what you would get at a restaurant.  They dry out as they sit in the refrigerator and are microwaved.  These beans are delicious on their own, but I am adding walnuts, spices and bone broth for the purpose of making a more nutrient dense food.  I use Kidney Beans because I can get a restaurant size can at my grocery store.  You can use whatever beans you want.  Keep in mind, I am not trying to make the most authentic refried beans.

I make this every week.  I hope you enjoy this quick and easy recipe as much as I do.
