Breakfast: Wake Up Call Smoothie
This smoothie only has 5 ingredients and one of them may be something you have everyday, coffee. Wake up and feel energized with this delicious drink.
Lunch: Sesame Quinoa and Tofu Thai Bowl
This sesame quinoa Thai bowl features fresh veggies, protein-packed quinoa and crispy tofu and it can be made ahead of time to pack for an easy, delicious lunch at work.
Snack 1: Pickled Cucumbers
The taste of pickled vegetables are extremely tangy which makes a great palette cleanser. Fermented foods are full of good bacteria called probiotics, these are important for gut health.
Dinner: Easy Vegan Tofu Curry
This is a very easy recipe and just like all curries, asks for multiple different spices and seasonings. There are two phases to making this dish: The first phase is cooking the tofu and the second phase is making the curry. The good thing about this recipe is you’ll be baking your tofu, which means you can cook your curry while your tofu is in the oven!
Who doesn't love the classic taste of a chocolate chip cookie? When you go plant-based or vegan it's easy to miss your childhood favorites but these fill the bill. Made with shortening instead of butter and Hu Chocolate Chips, you and your cookie monsters won't even know they're vegan.
