Lentil Meatball Spaghetti
August 10, 2023

Lentil Meatball Spaghetti

Lentil Meatball Spaghetti makes for a delicious plant-based meal rich in nutrients and protein while low in fat. This dish can be prepared using any variety of lentils, and for added flavor, you can try using fresh basil instead of dried. We used a simple tomato sauce, but any store-bought pasta sauce can be used in this dish.

Ingredients

Serves: 5-6 Time: 45 minutes

Lentil Meatball Spaghetti

  • 1 cup red lentils, cooked
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbs olive oil
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup kale
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 4-6 oz. spaghetti
  • 16 oz. tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Cook your lentils.
  2. While the lentils cool, sauté the onions, garlic, and mushrooms until tender. Allow them to cool.
  3. In a food processor or blender, pulse together the lentils, vegetables, kale, dried basil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  4. Once mixed, transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the breadcrumbs. Combine the mixture until just sticky enough to form a ball.
  5. Place the meatball mix in the fridge and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 420ºF and prepare a baking sheet with a silicone liner or non-stick foil.
  7. Combine the tomato sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes in a medium saucepan. Simmer on low to make your pasta sauce.
  8. Separately boil water to cook your pasta.
  9. Once the oven is hot, form the meatballs into 1-2 inch balls. Place on the tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
  10. After 10 minutes, flip the balls and cook for another 5 minutes.
  11. Once done and your pasta is cooked, plate the pasta with the sauce and meatballs, top with vegan or non-vegan parmesan, serve and enjoy!

Chickpea & Couscous Mediterranean Bowl
August 2, 2023

Chickpea & Couscous Mediterranean Bowl

Chickpea & Couscous Mediterranean Bowl topped with our homemade tahini dressing. This recipe is quick, easy to make, and is absolutely delicious. Couscous is rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals and is well complemented by chickpeas and sautéed vegetables.

Ingredients

Serves: 3-4 Time: 45 minutes

Chickpea & Couscous Mediterranean Bowl

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1/2 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small squash, diced
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp marjoram
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 small cucumbers, diced
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 1/2 vegetable broth
  • Optional toppings: chopped parsley, tahini sauce

Directions

  1. Prepare the onion, pepper, and squash. Chop up the cucumber and set aside in a small bowl.
  2. Lay the beets and tomatoes out onto a baking tray.
  3. In a large skillet, set heat to medium.
  4. Once hot, add the olive oil and sauté the onions for about 5 minutes.
  5. Then, add the squash and pepper and continue to stir for another 5-7 minutes.
  6. Add the chickpeas and seasonings, stir for another 2-3 minutes before adding the red wine vinegar.
  7. Cook the vegetables until lightly tender and then remove from heat.
  8. In a separate medium pot, add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
  9. Once boiling, add the couscous and stir together for 5-7 minutes.
  10. Set heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes. The couscous will absorb the liquid quickly, so stir occasionally and add more broth or water as needed.
  11. Serve the chickpeas and vegetables with the couscous and cucumber, top with tahini and parsley if desired, and enjoy!

Homemade Plant-Based Protein Powder
July 24, 2023

Homemade Plant-Based Protein Powder

Homemade Plant-Based Protein Powder is a great alternative to expensive storebought protein supplements. This recipe is made primarily with green split peas which are a safe legume to consume raw, especially once soaked, though if you have pre-existing gastrointestinal issues, check with your doctor before trying a pea protein powder.

Split peas are a great source of plant-based protein and high in fiber while being low in fat, and a good source of folate, iron, and potassium.

Ingredients

Homemade Plant-Based Protein Powder

  • 1 cup green split peas
  • 2 heaping Tbs flax meal
  • 2 heaping Tbs chia seeds
  • 1 Tbs sunflower seeds

Optional additions

  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Hemp seeds
  • Coconut sugar or stevia
  • Cocoa powder or vanilla powder

Directions

  1. Soak green split pea in water overnight.
  2. The following morning rinse the split pea and drain to remove excess water. Use a clean dish towel or paper towel to dry completely.
  3. Then, preheat the oven to 350ºF and spread the split peas onto a baking sheet in a thin layer.
  4. Bake the green split peas for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown
  5. Remove the peas from the oven and allow them to completely cool.
  6. Add all the ingredients to your high-powered blender or food processor and blend until it becomes a powder, flour-like consistency.
  7. If needed, filter out any non-blended peas and blend again separetely until fully powderized.
  8. Transfer the powder to a jar with an airtight lid.
  9. Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks.

Add 2-3 scoops to your next smoothie or try baking with them and making protein bars!
