Think about baking or searing foods versus frying them. Fish is a quick meal; baked with garlic, pepper and lemon beside yellow and zucchini squash. Add a side of quinoa or couscous for your grain and it’s dinner. A side salad doesn’t have to be extravagant. A head of lettuce, diced tomatoes and cucumbers or onions with pepper and a light vinaigrette tastes great and is refreshing.
Spinach salad is actually really good especially if you incorporate tomatoes, mushrooms, bits of celery, or diced apples and bacon bits! Plus a drizzle of ranch never hurt
https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/quickhummousandolive_71473 I took the liberty to attach a link oh a hummus receipt. You can serve with raw carrots, cucumber, cherry tomatoes. I hope you enjoy as much as I do.
There’s an amazing recipe for blondie brownies made from a specific type of bean that’s really, really good, and can probably be found on the Internet. I’d also recommend, for desserts, to replace sugar with coconut sugar and egg with banana.
I don’t have any full recipes off hand that I can share but I will say that I’ve been trying to get away from refined sugar and carbs and also try to eat more plant based food. I have found the “cauliflower” rice to be a new favorite, as well as making pasta noodles out of zucchini. You can either buy a cheap kitchen accessory to make it yourself or buy them already made in the store. I really like the Green Giant cauliflower fried rice in the frozen section of the grocery store. I haven’t tried their veggie noodles yet but they rarely disappoint!
I like to incorporate soup after a fast and blended veggies. Tomatoes make a nice liquid and then add veggies and seasonings to taste. If you like the veggie initially, you’re likely to like it heated in the tomatoe blend. Chicken broth is the next best choice. You can also add blended fruits with veggies. Carrots and apples are nice together. Hope this helps.
Roasted carrots? Wash, cut into 3rd or 4ths, drizzle some olive oil with salt, cover with foil to keep steam in, 345 degrees 15-20 minutes.
I like to use ground turkey, green and red bell pepper, and onions mixed together in a skillet. For more flavor, add chicken broth or fresh lime juice.
Thug Kitchen makes a fantastic plant-based cookbook ! If you don’t mind effective but abundant swearing then you should check it out! I highly recommend their white bean and red lentil burger 👅💦. Good luck!!
I personally enjoy split pea soup (https://www.theblendergirl.com/recipe/vegan-split-pea-soup/) and meatless chili (https://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/veggie-chili/) when I don’t feel in the mood for animal based cuisine but still want something hearty. For snacks and pick me ups, I’ll usually do some form of smoothie with frozen berries and nut milk (I am a larger person at around 2 meters in height and 108 kg so I do require more food than the average human, keep that in mind). I also like oatmeal (boiled in water, of course) with mixed nuts and apples or pears for quick, easy and non-meat-based breakfasts. In any case, I do prefer food that keep me feeling full for hours after I eat, so I choose meals with large amounts of dietary fiber. I hope I’ve given you some idea about what to eat!
