Picture
*makes 4 servings
When: Pre-training, Recovery

Time to make: 10 minutes

Behind the scenes: Lima beans were a thing of our childhood, a vegetable that was often forcibly fed to us as kids, but these beans are incredibly rich in fiber and potassium.  They also provide 12 grams of protein per cup.  Fresh lima beans are available for a brief period in the summer, but frozen lima beans are a great alternative and available year-round.  

What you need:
- 2 cups lima beans
- 1 red bell pepper (diced)
- 1/3 cup black olives (sliced)
- 1 oz feta cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp fresh parsely (chopped)
- Ground black pepper
- Salt

Cooking instructions:
- Cook frozen lima beans in a large microwavable dish according to package directions.
- Add bell peppers, feta cheese, olives, parsely, and lemon zest.  
- Season to your taste with ground black pepper and salt.
