This Kale & White Bean Skillet makes for a filling, fiber-rich lunch, and it comes together in only 20 minutes!

A half-cup serving of Heinen’s cannellini beans pack a whopping 8 grams of fiber, a key element for healthy blood sugar and sustained brain power found only in plant-based foods. Mixed with kale, sun dried tomatoes and a tangy apple cider vinegar-based dressing, this simple skillet is an easy way to eat healthy, even on the busiest of days.
