When I began my weight loss journey, I found that I was hungry all the time, like real hunger pains. I knew I needed something that was high in protein to keep me satisfied and full and I came up with this protein snack/meal that was easy to make and even easier to take with me (I also use it as a side sometimes with chicken or fish). I also knew I needed something that had flavor and felt like a hearty meal/snack.

I call them Mediterranean Protein Cups

• 1 can of Light Red Kidney Beans (drained & rinsed)
• 1 can of Black Eyed Peas (drained & rinsed)
• 1 can of Black Beans (drained & rinsed)
• 1 container (4 ounces or more), Crumbled Feta Cheese (you can use regular or light or even fat free)
• 1/2 medium Red Sweet Bell Pepper - diced
• 1/2 medium Orange Bell Pepper - diced
• 2 Tablespoons (16g), Sliced Ripe Olives
• 1/4 to 1/3 of a bottle of Fat Free Mediterranean or Italian Dressing (you can add more once you have your items all mixed and you think you need more)
• 1 can of Sweet Corn
• 1/2 cup of cooked couscous (any flavor, I use garlic or parmesan flavored)

mix all the ingredients together and then add the Italian dressing gradually, stirring in between until you have the consistency you like. Add in some dried basil, sprinkle of salt/seasoning salt, pepper, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder - whatever you like to make this the taste you want, just go easy on the salting.

I would refrigerate the mixture overnight (it is best to do this to soften up the beans a bit) and then put them in individual containers. I would grab 1 for work every day, this recipe really saved me on those hungry days! Depending on the ingredients you choose (this one was with fat free Italian dressing & regular feta cheese), different brands, adding or omitting certain ingredients for preference and the amount of servings, (you can do 8 or 16 servings) the nutrition is approximately:
8 servings: 87 cals/ 2 grams of fat/ 5.5 grams of fiber/ 6 grams of protein
16 servings: 174 cals/ 4 grams of fat/ 11 grams of fiber/ 12 grams of protein

I eat this cold, but if you want to heat it up, I am sure it is just as good!
