I only recently 'discovered' smashed edamame whilst browsing through healthy recipes on Pinterest, and its quickly become one of my go to quick meals. The edamame beans are a great vegetarian and vegan protein source, as well as containing fibre, healthy fats and carbohydrates. Wholemeal toast is a good slow release carbohydrate, so will keep you energised throughout the day and avoid blood sugar spikes and energy slumps. It makes a really nice, higher protein alternative to avocado toast, and if you buy frozen edamame beans this recipe is completely store cupboard! To make the smashed edamame I added half a cup of edamame beans to a blender, along with a handful of mint (don't skip this, it is super delicious!) and a splash of olive oil, and blitzed until the beans made a hummus like consistency. This would also be really nice on rice cakes as an on the go snack, and even as a dip with veggie sticks!
