Black bean & Tahini sandwich

The 5-min healthy sandwich I eat every week

A few years ago I shared a simple sandwich recipe in a youtube video, not thinking much about it.. and I’m surprised that people still message me about it, and tell me they love it! Since then I’ve tweaked the recipe and improved it (and I think I may have even perfected it), so I wanted to share that with you!

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, I posted my black bean & tahini sandwich in a 2018 youtube video. It’s a 5 minute high-protein vegan sandwich that I’ve been enjoying for years (it’s also gluten-free and dairy-free!).

Version 2.0 in my youtube video below..
