We are popping in today to highlight some of our favorite plant-based recipes! If you our last fitness post post you know that we get tons of questions about plant-based eating at this time of year. It makes sense – in the last few years, plant-based diets have gotten a lot of press. They’re said to be better for your health and better for the planet. What’s not to love?
Well, many people don’t know where to start. Sure, they know that they should eat whole grains, veggies, fruits, and legumes. But while these components are nutritious, they don’t add up to delicious, satisfying meals on their own.
That’s where these plant-based recipes come in! They take the building blocks of a plant-based diet – the aforementioned veggies, grains, etc. – and transform them into dishes that are exciting, filling, and fun to eat. Below, you’ll find vibrant grain bowls, hearty veggie burgers, tasty sandwiches, noodles, sushi, and more. Whether you’re a longtime vegan or experimenting with plant-based recipes for the first time, you’re sure to find something you love!

Peanut Butter Coconut Curry
A savoury and wholesome dinner, perfect for cold nights.
Recipe
Roast 2 small sweet potatoes (cut into bite-sized cubes), 1 head of garlic (top sliced off), 1 beefsteak tomato and 1/2 red onion (chopped) after tossing them in olive oil and S+P on a sheet pan at 425 F until tender.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil then add 1 heaping tsp minced ginger + 1/2 tsp minced Serrano pepper and cook them a couple minutes until fragrant. Then whisk in 1 can coconut milk, 5 tbsp organic creamy peanut butter(the kind that you have to mix before scooping because the oil floats to the top!), 3-4 tsp mild curry powder, lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Bring that to a boil and then simmer for a few minutes until thickened then add 1/2 cup + vegetable broth for thinning. Let that simmer on low until your veggies are done roasting, then whisk in the roasted garlic (squeeze the bulbs out of the head and smash them right on the baking sheet before whisking in), tomato (after cutting into bite-sized pieces), red onion, sweet potato, and some fried tofu.
Garnish with cilantro and more lime juice and salt to taste!

Cauliflower steaks
Ingredients
1 large head of cauliflower, leaves trimmed, with the core intact, cut into 1 inch slices, you will get about 3 slices of cauliflower
1/2 cup pizza sauce, you can substitute with marinara sauce
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 cup dairy-free cheese
1/2 tsp avocado oil
salt and pepper, to taste
fresh basil, ganish
Method:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the cauliflower "steaks" out evenly on your pan. Drizzle with oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 25 minutes. Take the cauliflower out of the oven and spread the pizza sauce on each piece. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and cheese. Bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese melted and the cauliflower is fork tender. Garnish with fresh herbs like basil.
If some of the cauliflower pieces break off, save them and cook them according to the directions. They still will be tasty, they just wont be in "steak" forms.
