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.

This dish makes for a delicious dinner when served with brown rice or your favorite whole grain, or as a fun snack all by itself. We recommend adding even more nutrition by adding leafy greens such as kale, bok choy or spinach at the end of slow cooking to ensure you’re getting your daily leafy greens.

Looking for a meal that feels like you’re eating at your favorite vegan Chinese restaurant, but it’s actually easily made with love at home? Meet Simple Kung Pao Tofu and Broccoli! It's a combination of sweet, savory, and spicy, making it really satisfying (omit the spice if you don’t love it). Don’t let the list of ingredients seem overwhelming — the trick to making it a quick and easy meal is having the rice ready to go and pressing the tofu ahead of time.
