This classic dish gets a healthy facelift by omitting the butter, oil, and other less than desirable ingredients and keeping the fiber (green beans and almonds) and adding lots of aromatics (shallots and garlic) and a little crunchy sweetness (again, almonds!). Bon appetit!

Warming, comforting, and nourishing, you’ll feel the essence of this cider before you even start sipping through its natural cinnamon, apple and cranberry aromas. Made with 100 percent cranberry and apple juices (no sugar added!) that are infused with ginger and cinnamon spice, Slow Cooker Cranberry Apple Cider is one to celebrate throughout the year—enjoy it warm in the winter and pour it over ice in the summer.

Cherry Chia Cacao Pudding Parfaits check all the boxes. They’re fun to make. They look pretty in their parfait glasses. They power-packed with plant-based ingredients. And they’re meal-prep friendly, making them perfect for busy schedules. Enjoy them for breakfast, as a dessert or an afternoon snack.

This dish is a cross between a casserole and a stew. It is cooked stove-top, much like a stew, but is much more like a casserole in texture. The quinoa and chickpeas are simmered with warm, earthy spices, and balanced with the sweetness of dried figs and sautéed fennel.

Layers of high-fiber and high-flavor plant-based ingredients might make this Shepherd’s Pie more satisfying than any other version you’ve tried. Omega 3-rich walnuts, protein-packed lentils, vitamin C-abundant potatoes, and beta carotene-filled squash put this dish on the pie charts for most nutrient-dense. Plus, there are almost 20 grams of fiber per serving!

It’s time to graduate from the ketchup we knew as kids with processed sugar and (un)natural flavorings, to the adult ketchup version with whole foods and healing spices. This recipe makes quite a bit, so our recommendation is either to store half in the fridge and half in the freezer or cut the recipe in half if you think one cup of ketchup is plenty for you and your family (see Chef’s Notes for storage tips). Have fun playing with this superfood ketchup in a variety of recipes.

These nourishing wraps have all the elements — lots of crunch from the crisp collard greens, a bit of creaminess from the tofu-based mayo, and fun flavor from the combination of whole fresh foods, pickled onions, and sunflower seeds. Enjoy it for lunch, dinner or as a snack!

Before you decide to skip over this recipe, non-cilantro lovers, this recipe is for you, too! Using the tofu as the base, add a different herb of choice, such as basil, parsley, or chives in place of the cilantro. Use the cream as a vegetable dip, on top of sandwiches, in grain bowls, or drizzled in tacos.
