There is one main question that every vegan on the planet has been asked at least 1,000 times. “Where do you get your protein?”
After a standard eye-roll, I generally spout off a list that includes…Vegetables, Soy, Nuts, Non-Dairy Milk, Beans, Quinoa, Tofu, Lentils, Oats, etc. etc.
I decided to give an extra boost of protein to these Oat Banana Muffins by adding 1/4 cup of vegan Now Sports Pea Protein purchased here. They are not too sweet and contain ZERO white sugar.
I have seen several recipes for tofu seasoned with maple syrup but was not pleased with the outcome. I decided to experiment on my own and am extremely pleased with the results.
Maple tofu is great in this dish but also works really well on its own.
In this recipe decided to pair it with some basic zucchini and oven-fried sweet potatoes.
ENJOY!
I love mushrooms and used to think that even though they were delicious, they did not offer much nutritional value. I am happy to say that I was wrong.
Many varieties of mushrooms are a great source of Selenium and all varieties provide a host of essential nutrients. Mushrooms are the only plant source that makes bone-loving Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.
I used Cremini mushrooms in this recipe, which is an adult version of White Button mushrooms that help improve immune function.
In addition, mushrooms contain antioxidants and assist in metabolic processes.
