Lately, I’ve realized how much I enjoy recreating meals from my childhood. During Passover, my mom would buy an insane amount of matzah which led to my love of matzah brei—a breakfast dish typically made with eggs. I made a vegan version of the delicious delicacy using vegan whole wheat matzoh, silken tofu, + cashew milk, and I made a vegan version of charoset (a mixture of walnuts, dates, apple, wine, and typically honey- I used maple syrup). Recipe for the matzah brei is below ↓ and I’ll post the recipe for the charoset in my story. Ingredients: •2 sheets of whole wheat matzah (I used @galilfoods) •1/2 cup cashew or almond milk •1/2 cup silken tofu (see my note below about this) •oil/vegan butter •cinnamon + brown sugar to taste Directions: In a large bowl, combine tofu + cashew/almond milk. Use a fork or spoon to mash the tofu. Next, break apart 2 sheets of matzah into small pieces. Add to the wet mixture and let soak for a bit. In a medium sized pan, add oil or vegan butter on medium heat, add the matzah-tofu mixture to the pan. Add cinnamon + sugar as it cooks. Cook until slightly crispy & enjoy 🍽😊(PS for those who are observing Passover, this recipe is technically not kosher for some due to the soybeans in tofu)

I know it’s spring and soup season is kind of over—but I’m not feeling so hot today 🤧 + this homemade pho-inspired soup is soothing my soul right now. It’s packed with vitamins a, c, & k, calcium, protein, and most importantly, flavor 😋🙌🏼 I whipped it up by first sautéing kale, mushrooms, onions, + tofu in a pan. Then I added miso paste and water to make a broth. I used @traderjoes umami seasoning, ground ginger, & garlic powder for flavor. Then I added thin shirataki noodles—but you can also use rice noodles or whatever you have! I topped it with sriracha for some extra spice 🍜🍲🔥 what’s your favorite food to eat when you’re feeling under the weather? . . . . #15minutemeal #vegan #veganfoodshare #easymeal #nutrients #nutrition #plantprotein #plantbased #crueltyfree #eggfree #meatlessmeal #eatbetternotless #veganrd #dietitian #registereddietitian #healthyfoodshare #eattherainbow #wholefoods #traderjoes #vegancommunity #eatmoreplants #recipe #easyrecipe #veganrecipe

Do you ever feel hungry mid-morning after eating a “healthy” breakfast that wasn’t as satisfying as you had hoped? . This used to be me 🙋🏻‍♀️...until I realized a winning combination for a delicious, filling breakfast involves some kind of fruit (or veggies), whole grains, + healthy fats! . Fat is satiating + can help stabilize blood sugar by slowing down digestion. When you eat something with fat in it, your gut releases a hormone called cholecystokinin which stimulates that “full” feeling after a meal, so don’t fear fat! 😍🥜🌰🥥 . In my bowl today: homemade coconut chia pudding which is packed with omega 3’s from the chia seeds (I’ll share the recipe in another post or in my stories), strawbs + banana, @naturespathorganic granola, + a spoonful of cashew butter 🥣

Enjoying the most delicious brunch/lunch on this spring day 🌱 Tofu scramble (I used garlic powder + turmeric for the yellow color) with avocado & EBTB seasoning on whole wheat sourdough bread 😍🥑🍞. I haven’t had much time to post interesting recipes lately—but sometimes keeping it simple is the healthiest thing you can do. I love the simplicity of this meal, and I love how it’s packed with plant-based protein, healthy fats, and whole grains. Do you feel like you’re too busy to make delicious, healthy meals? If so, let me help you!
