One Pan Tofu and Veggie Pineapple “Fried” Rice
Having ready-to-eat healthy foods on hand is one of the first steps to consistent, healthy eating. Making a plan for the week, gathering ingredients, and making one or two dishes can set you up for success. Starting with simple recipes that take 30 minutes or less can also be helpful. This one-pan tofu dish provides a variety of phytonutrients from the vegetables, plant-based protein from the tofu, and prebiotic fiber from the asparagus, rice, and green onion. Make this ahead of time and reheat for a nourishing lunch or dinner during the week.

Miso Chickpea Tofu
Homemade tofu just got much more exciting! We’re not sure which part of this recipe your gut will love more — the miso or the chickpeas. But either way, Miso Chickpea Tofu is sure to be a winner. Miso is a fermented paste, traditionally made from soy (although there are lots of variations) and is one of the most beneficial fermented foods for fueling probiotic growth. Miso is fairly nutrient-dense, too. This homemade tofu will provide you with high quality plant protein and fiber as well as an abundant source of zinc, copper, manganese, and vitamin K. There is also a good amount of B vitamins, iron, magnesium, selenium, and choline. Since this Miso Chickpea Tofu is super simple to make, we are sure it’s going to make its way into a few of your favorite plant-based dishes.

Sticky Black Rice with Mango
Sticky Black Rice with Mango gets the whole food plant-based Treatment. Inspired by the classic Thai dessert Mango Sticky Rice, this naturally sweet and fiber-rich version is a sumptuous and exotic dessert that captures the essence of tropical flavors in a simple yet indulgent way. The black rice gets soft and gelatinous as it cooks down and turns into a delightful rice pudding that is sweetened with homemade coconut sauce and topped with fresh and juicy mango. Add a squeeze of lime and a few mint leaves for a refreshing yet filling dessert that is creamy, sticky, and fresh.
