    • Use a different type of bean: If you don't have white beans on hand, you can use chickpeas, kidney beans, or black beans instead.
    • Use a different type of greens: If you don't have spinach on hand, you can use kale, Swiss chard, or collard greens instead. Just be sure to adjust the cook time as needed.
