What do you get when you cross a scone with a muffin? A scuffin, of course! These are easy to make and especially delightful during berry season! Whether you use fresh, frozen or (if you’re very lucky) berries from your own garden, you’re getting plenty of antioxidants with each bite!

Bland tofu — no more! In this simple recipe, the lemon juice and tamari bake deep into the tofu, and the dried herbs coat each piece. Seasoned organic tofu is a delicious way to get plant-based protein, calcium, zinc and phytonutrients that support optimal health!

It’s almost as if these three ingredients were made for each other: tomatoes, basil, and balsamic vinegar. They complement each other so well that the roasted result can be enjoyed as a warm snack by itself or spread on whole-grain bread, homemade crackers, or avocado toast.

These are one of our very favorite burgers. The flavor is full of umami depth from the nuts, tamari, and sun-dried tomatoes. They taste fantastic served as a traditional burger, or bun-free (see serving suggestions).

Plant-based pro tip: always keep a stash of refried black beans in your refrigerator for easy on-the-go meals. You’ll use refried beans as a vegetable dip, in tacos, on top of avocado toast, in grain bowls, as a bean wrap, and alongside sauteed brown rice and vegetables. Trust us, these won’t go to waste! They’re super easy to make, a great source of plant-based protein, packed with fiber, and a good source of zinc. Let us know how you’re enjoying them!

What’s neat about whole plant-based foods is that they can be creatively made into just about any dessert you can imagine, having the same flavor (or better!) along with all of the nutrition. The Sweet Potato Pie Mousse is no exception.

Double the recipe to make a sweet potato pie filling!

These bite-sized snacks might be small but they’re mighty! Sesame seeds are jam-packed with calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Sunflower seeds are full of vitamin E. Not only are chia seeds one of the best sources of calcium, but they’re also high in omega-3 fatty acids. Plus, the balance of carbohydrates, protein, fat, and fiber in each bite makes for a sustainable, energizing snack!
