Using sunflower seeds to make a creamy base is a great way to get vitamin E, selenium, plant-based protein, and fiber in a simple spread. Adding curry powder (a combination of spices that may include cumin, turmeric, coriander, ginger, and garlic) not only makes for a flavorful blend, but they each pack their own powerful nutritional punch. Soak the seeds ahead of time to whip this up in a flash!

Do you love Indian flavors as much as we do? This samosa-inspired burger tastes very similar to the fried appetizer you may know and love, however, it's much healthier! Chickpea and Potato Samosa Burgers are baked instead of fried and fiber-rich. Really, they’re one big delicious and crispy veggie and chickpea patty. Enjoy them as is or top them with your favorite chutney.

Onions often play a supporting role in meals, however, they can certainly stand on their own and steal the show! Red onions, in particular, are bursting with flavor and nutrition from anthocyanins — the same color that gives blueberries their pretty purple hue. They’re also a good source of prebiotics. Anthocyanins and prebiotics have both been shown to help with gut health! Enjoy these onions on top of veggie burgers, salads, and alongside other roasted vegetables.

Did someone say peaches? These bites are a fun and different way to enjoy your favorite summer fruits. Use fresh when they’re in season or frozen when you want to call in the memory of summer suppers. Plus, feel good that they’re helping to keep your immune system strong from the plentiful vitamin C in the peaches, red peppers, and limes!

Have you thought about the magic of plants? In this recipe, peppers, almonds, hazelnuts, along with some flavorful spices, magically transform into a beautiful sweet and smoky sauce that can be used on top of legume pasta, grain bowls, or as a tasty vegetable dip. Enjoy this sauce knowing that it’s chock-full of fiber, vitamin C, plant-based protein, and healthy plant-based fats.

This tempeh bacon has a sweet smokiness and can be used in many ways. Make a tempeh “BLT” (or “TBLT”) sandwich, add to grain bowls, crumble into salads, enjoy alongside a tofu breakfast scramble or eat it all by itself as a snack!

The options for making hearty, dense, and satisfying plant-based burgers are endless, including these Beet Burgers made with beans and beets in between some buns (can you say that three times, fast?). Burgers don’t get much healthier than this — beets for phytonutrients and vitamins, beans for plant-based protein and fiber, and spices that offer tons of nutrition with just a very tiny amount. One way you can make this healthier? Use a crunchy, nutrient-packed collard green as your bun!
