It might look like there’s a lot to this recipe, but it’s really just three main ingredients — mushrooms, onion and pineapple — and the rest are seasonings and spices that make the dish delicious and savory with a touch of sweetness. The trio of ingredients promises bursts of flavor and plenty of good nutrition. Enjoy it as a side, sandwich, or on top of a veggie burger.

Bánh mì or banh mi is the Vietnamese word for bread, but what you put in the middle is up to you! It typically includes something spicy, something pickled, and some kind of protein. In this case, we’ve chosen tofu, but you could also use tempeh. While portobello mushrooms aren’t high in protein, they would also make for a great substitute (plus, you still get lots of other nutrients from mushrooms!). Take a trip through Vietnam without leaving the comfort of your own home with this tasty sandwich!

This tasty take on a “BLT” has all the flavor, crunch, AND nutrition without the environmental impact of traditional bacon. What’s more, it’s so simple! Pile it high with lettuce and tomato or add your own spin by adding other veggies like radish, sprouts, or roasted sliced beets! This sandwich is a fun and delicious way to use your garden carrots.

They should start calling the fifth taste “YUMami” because it satisfies every taste bud. The rich flavor is why mushrooms often replace meat in plant-based diets, not to mention they’re so much healthier. Mushrooms have zero cholesterol, trans-fatty acids, or saturated fat, and they have tons of nutrition such as B vitamins, selenium, copper, and vitamin D (if sun-exposed). They also have phytonutrients that may boost immunity. This sandwich may feel indulgent because it’s bursting with flavor, but feel good knowing that you’re feeding your body well.

These black bean burgers are so delicious, simple and nutritious that you may never purchase another store-bought black bean burger again! What’s really awesome is that you can double the recipe and store the patties in the freezer so you have meals on hand for future weeks. We love to layer veggies on top to make a mile-high burger that packs a ton of fiber.

Avocado lends a luscious texture and offers nutrients like healthy fats, tons of fiber (almost 10 grams per avocado!), and vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. The chickpeas make a great plant-based substitute for animal protein – with 14 grams per cup! – not to mention their fiber, B vitamins, iron, and folate content. You’ll never want egg or tuna salad again!

This is another burger recipe that can be made in a jiff, and is firm enough to serve up on a bun. There’s no sautéing of onions, garlic, or other seasonings; just a few simple whizzes in the food processor will do the trick!
