Amelia Christie-Miller, the former private chef turned CEO of Bold Bean Co, is on a relentless mission to make us all totally obsessed with beans—a feat previously reserved for cat videos and mildly addictive TikTok dances. She’s authored two entire cookbooks, presumably so the world’s taste buds stop ghosting beans like bad Tinder dates. Her secret weapon? Beans in pasta, soup, and the fan-favorite 'bean-otto'—a risotto impersonator starring white beans and mushrooms, which apparently cooks faster than your microwave popcorn. One cup of black beans packs 15 grams each of protein and fiber; ideal for gut bugs throwing the wildest parties in your colon. Who knew beans were the ultimate gut biome BFFs?
