A wonderful plant-food substitute for meat, thanks to its texture, is young jackfruit. The largest tree fruit hailing from Asia, jackfruit has a chewy texture and neutral flavor when harvested before it has a chance to get soft, juicy, and sweet. Because of its neutral flavor, it takes on any flavors you add to it, making it a versatile ingredient that can be included in a variety of dishes. The spice blend below adds the most exquisite flavors! We think your belly and your soul will be extra happy with the textures, flavors, and nutrients in this dish.

This 5-Minute Smoky Black Bean Dip is simple to make, tastes delicious, and can be used on anything but oatmeal (unless you’re feeling adventurous!). Since it’s packed with fiber from the beans, anthocyanins from the red onion, and carotenoids from the red pepper, this savory dip is really good for you. Spread it in wraps, add it to salads, or use it as a veggie dip!

Street tacos are a central component of Mexican culture and are called antojitos, meaning “little cravings.” They’re meant to be enjoyed while walking about, as a small snack. Traditionally, they’re made using corn tortillas, meat (beef or chicken), pico de gallo, lime juice, and cilantro. In this recipe, protein-rich black bean spread replaces meat and is spread on top of organic corn tortillas with more nutritious ingredients added on top. The result is a flavorful and nutrient-rich street taco!

This nutritious and flavorful sauce can easily elevate any Southwest-inspired meal, soup or bowl. Not to mention, it only takes ten minutes to prepare!

This soup has bold, vibrant flavors and is very satisfying without being heavy like traditional chili. The whole cumin seeds are what makes this nutritious soup distinctly different from other bean soups, giving it a little pop of flavor and even more nutrition with its antioxidants!

Loaded with potassium, choline, vitamin C, and fiber, yuca has more to offer than just its satisfying texture and sweet flavor.

Enjoy it as an appetizer, snack, or side dish.
