Whether you’re cutting back on meat intentionally or just haven’t had luck finding any at the grocery store as of late, there are plenty of other great ways to pack in protein and fuel your body with immune-boosting vitamins and minerals. From hearty black bean burgers to veggie-packed Buddha bowls, here are five of our favorite plant-based feasts.
Veggie Sheet Pan Fajitas with Chipotle Queso
The cashew queso alone is reason enough to give this recipe a go—it’s so good we eat it by the spoonful and people we share it with are always impressed to find out it’s actually made with magnesium- and zinc-packed cashews instead of cheese. It’s the perfect topper for these power-packed veggie tacos, and definitely a weeknight favorite in our house
Black Bean Burger
Your quest for the perfect veggie burger ends here. Not only are these black bean burgers a cinch to whip up with ingredients you likely already have on hand, but they’re also chockfull of fiber, potassium, and all sorts of other heart-healthy ingredients.
Mushroom Larb
Missing Thai takeout? This spicy mushroom larb has all the flavors of your favorite lettuce cups, but with amino acids-rich mushrooms added into the mix.
Sweet Potato Chickpea Buddha Bowl
This hearty, satisfying Buddha bowl combines all sorts of good-for-you veggies and greens and tops it all off with a creamy lemon-maple-tahini dressing that you’ll want to lick right off the spoon.
Tofu Burrito Bowls
Burrito bowls are a great weeknight staple for a household of picky eaters because they’re infinitely adaptable to everyone’s tastes and whichever ingredients you already have on hand. We particularly like this version which swaps in nutrient-packed quinoa for rice and cubed seasoned tofu for added protein.
