With all of this extra time at home, it is a great time to experiment in the kitchen! Massage Therapy of Boston has compiled a list with some of our favorite plant-based recipe for you to give a go at for your next meal!
Breakfast
Scrambled Tofu
This plant-based twist on a classic breakfast delivers on taste and a healthy dose of Vitamins, including B1, B6, B12 and E. Using olive or avocado oil as an alternative to the fat found in an egg yolk and nutritional yeast and turmeric as seasoning, you can throw in a variety of bell peppers, onion, spinach and cooked potatoes for a hearty breakfast burrito!
Lunch
Chickpea Salad
Chickpeas or garbanzo beans are a legendary ingredient for plant-based cooking. Not only are they versatile and packed full of healthy protein, the aquafaba, or the juice from a can of chickpeas, can be used as an egg replacement! For a flavorful and simple lunch, we recommend following the recipe in this video. This chickpea salad is easy to take on the go and can be eaten alone, or added to toasted whole grain bread as a sandwich. It is also great in a wrap with spinach!
Dinner
Garlic Alfredo Sauce
With only six ingredients, this delicious dairy and oil-free dinner is an absolute hit. It’s blended mixture of cashews, onion, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast and vegetable broth create an even-better alternative to the traditional alfredo taste. On pizza or pasta, you will not be disappointed!
Desserts
Chocolate Chip Cookies
We’ve saved the best for last with these incredible, soft and gooey chocolate chip cookies! This recipe is a staple and tops nearly any non-plant based cookie we have ever made. Since it is void of egg by using a flax-seed alternative, feel free to snag a little dough before tossing them in the oven!
