Avocado & Cannellini Bean Smash on Crackers

This is a creamy, satisfying mash made from half an avocado and half a tin of cannellini beans. It's more substantial than plain avocado toast and packed with fibre. Pile it onto oatcakes, Ryvita, or whatever sturdy crackers you have.

Ingredients (Serves 1):

• ½ ripe avocado
• ½ x 400g tin of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
• A squeeze of lemon or lime juice
• Salt and pepper
• A pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
• 4–6 oatcakes or crackers

Method:

1. Mash the avocado and beans together with a fork until chunky.
2. Stir in the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chilli flakes if using.
3. Pile onto the crackers and eat immediately.

Why it's gut-friendly: Cannellini beans are packed with soluble fibre. Avocado provides healthy monounsaturated fats and extra fibre. Lemon juice is a gentle digestive aid.
