| Have you heard of fiber-maxxing? It may not have the same traction as protein-maxxing (did you know they make protein water now?), but it still has plenty of benefits. Beans are a great way to get fiber into your diet, and today’s recipe calls for just that. Let’s get into it! |

| White bean and cucumber salad with ginger-lemon dressing |
| I’ve bean waiting for this one! I promise that’s my last bean pun. But thanks to said beans, this salad packs in a ton of fiber — 16 grams per serving, to be exact. For context, the average adult needs somewhere between 25 and 38 grams of fiber per day. So by making this recipe, you’re knocking out a significant amount all at once. |
| Aside from boosting your fiber intake, beans have a number of other health benefits. For instance, consuming beans and legumes may help protect your heart and colon and reduce low-grade inflammation. |
| Cucumbers are also a big part of this salad. They’re mostly water, which can help you stay hydrated. |
