If you love Tikka Masala spices in a creamy sauce then this dish is for you. Calcium-rich tofu and beta-carotene-packed spinach carry the healing fragrant spices. Start by baking the tofu if you like it crispy. If you’re looking for simplicity then simply skip the baking step and add the cubed tofu to the slow cooker along with the Tikka Masala sauce. Whichever you choose, you’ll be rewarded with a comforting, hearty Indian dish.

Okra can be a polarizing vegetable, and if you’re team “no okra please” then you might want to reconsider, starting with this dish. Okra is rich in magnesium, folate, vitamin C, vitamin K, fiber, and more! Add red kidney beans and whole grains to it and you have a bountiful nourishing and tasty dish.

This pie showcases fresh strawberries so beautifully! Both the filling and crust are raw, so you can make this pie and portion-freeze it to treat yourself at any time. You know what that means — you get to enjoy summertime strawberries all year round, along with their beneficial compounds like vitamin C, zinc, and potassium.

Made entirely with raw ingredients, this dip will knock your socks off. It’s a snap to prepare and is perfect for summer picnics, to nibble with raw veggies, or as a spread on crackers and bread. Whichever way you choose to enjoy it, you’ll be packing plenty of plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals with each and every bite.

Pickling is super easy and takes minutes to prepare yet adds lots of flavor to sandwiches, salads, and grain bowls. What’s more, you can use just about any type of vegetable to pickle. (Pro-tip: garden veggies make the best pickled vegetables, especially when you have an abundance of them!) Enjoy this versatile, tasty, and crunchy treat on meals and as a snack throughout the week.

Your taste buds may try to tell you otherwise, but this dressing really is 100% plant-based and raw, and not the traditional version of caesar dressing. The creaminess comes from the blended raw nuts and the kelp granules give it the sea life flavor. Our personal favorite way of using it is gently massaged into kale leaves then topped with avocado, radish, and red onion — talk about a plant-powered, nutrient-dense meal!

This basic sauce combines the freshness of raw tomatoes, bell peppers, and herbs, as well as a touch of date paste for sweetness. Make it when tomatoes are in season and at their peak of ripeness and ladle it over spiralized zucchini for a meal that will keep you feeling light and well-loved.

Texture, flavor, and nutrition — this dish checks all the boxes! You’ll get the oh-so-satisfying crunchy and creamy from the sprouts and avocado, respectively. Olives and tomatoes provide umami flavor, while freshly squeezed orange juice offers a little acidity mixed with some sweetness. Savor this by itself as a snack, alongside a meal, or top a grain bowl with it — no matter how you enjoy it, it’s nourishing and delicious!

What’s great about this dish is that the longer you let it sit (preferably overnight) the more intense the flavor becomes. That’s the essence of marinating! While we suggest cucumber, radish, and asparagus, you can add just about any vegetables you have on hand or that you’re growing in your garden. Enjoy this as a snack or side salad — with each flavorful bite you’re also getting a fork-full of nutrition!

This curry is fragrant and flavorful without being “hot” spicy. It’s easy to prepare and very satisfying! Oh, and did we mention nutrition? It’s bursting with nutrients from the tomatoes, zucchini, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and all those healing spices. Enjoy it often — you’re getting loads of vitamin C, carotenoids, zinc, and fiber.
