10 High-Fiber Recipes for Any Night of the Week

10 High-Fiber Recipes for Healthy and Easy Weeknight Meals

10 High-Fiber Recipes for Any Night of the Week, Fibre is an important part of a healthy diet. It helps keep your digestion running smoothly, supports a healthy weight, and can reduce the risk of diabetes, according to the Mayo Clinic. But what are some good high-fiber meals? We’ve compiled a list of tasty recipes with at least 8 grams of fibre per serving to help you eat well and meet your nutrition goals. Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean giving up on flavour!

Most adults don’t get enough fibre — women need about 25 grams a day, and men need around 30 grams, according to the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. To reach these goals, add more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to your meals. Just remember to increase your fibre intake gradually to avoid any stomach discomfort.

Not sure where to start? Try adding beans to your grain bowls, using hummus or guacamole instead of mayo, or packing extra crunchy veggies into a stir-fry. Soups and salads filled with vegetables are also great options. And don’t forget to start your day with a high-fibre breakfast to set the tone for the rest of the day!

Plant-Powered Protein: The Vegan’s Guide to Protein-Rich Foods

Hey there, health enthusiasts! Are you ready to power up your plant-based diet with protein-packed goodness? Whether you’re a seasoned vegan or just dipping your toes into the world of plant-based eating, getting enough protein is essential for maintaining muscle mass, supporting cell growth and repair, and keeping you feeling full and satisfied.

But where do vegans get their protein, you ask? Fear not! We’ve got you covered with a roundup of some of the best vegan sources of protein to fuel your body and keep you thriving:

1. Lentils: These little legumes are a powerhouse of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. Whether you’re whipping up a hearty lentil soup, tossing them into salads, or making a flavorful lentil curry, lentils are a versatile and delicious addition to any meal.

2. Chickpeas: Also known as garbanzo beans, chickpeas are a staple in many vegan diets. Roast them for a crunchy snack, blend them into creamy hummus, or toss them into salads and stir-fries for an extra boost of protein and fiber.

3. Quinoa: This ancient grain is not only a complete protein but also packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Use quinoa as a base for salads, stir-fries, or Buddha bowls, or enjoy it as a nutritious side dish.

4. Tofu and Tempeh: These soy-based protein powerhouses are incredibly versatile and can be used in a wide variety of dishes. Whether you’re grilling up tofu skewers, marinating tempeh for a hearty sandwich, or adding them to stir-fries and curries, tofu and tempeh are excellent sources of plant-based protein.

5. Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, peanuts, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and pumpkin seeds are all packed with protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients. Sprinkle them on top of oatmeal, yogurt, or salads, or enjoy them as a satisfying snack on their own.

6. Beans: From black beans and kidney beans to navy beans and pinto beans, the options are endless when it comes to beans. Add them to soups, stews, chilis, and salads for a protein boost that will keep you feeling full and satisfied.

7. Seitan: Made from wheat gluten, seitan is a meaty and versatile protein source that’s perfect for vegan cooking. Use it in stir-fries, sandwiches, tacos, and more for a hearty and satisfying meal.

So there you have it, folks! With a little creativity and some delicious plant-based ingredients, getting enough protein on a vegan diet is easier than ever. So go ahead, embrace the power of plants, and fuel your body with the protein it needs to thrive!

Stay healthy!

🌱💪 When we think of protein, many of us automatically turn to meat. But guess what? There are fantastic alternatives out there, and quinoa is one of them! 🌾🌿

Quinoa is a tiny but mighty grain that is not only gluten-free but also packed with high-quality protein. It's a complete protein source, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids our bodies need. 💪🌾

This superfood is versatile and can be incorporated into various dishes. From salads and stir-fries to pilafs and Buddha bowls, quinoa adds a nutritious punch and a delightful texture to your meals. 🥗🍲

What's more, quinoa is rich in fiber, iron, and magnesium, making it a nutrient powerhouse. It's a fantastic option for those following a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, or anyone looking to diversify their protein sources. 🌱✨

To enjoy quinoa, simply rinse it well and cook it according to the package instructions. You can also experiment with different flavors by adding herbs, spices, or even a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance the taste. 🍚🍋

So, why not give quinoa a try and embrace the wonders of plant-based protein? Your body and the planet will thank you! 🌍💚

Chick Pea, Dried Fruit and Vegetable Pilaf

We have been eating more vegetarian dishes recently — somehow just in the mood and don’t have as big a yen for meat.

Besides, vegetarian dishes are traditional for Purim, which begins at sundown on  Monday, March 6, 2023, so the casserole recipe below is something for you to consider this year.

We had this dish a few times (variations) and loved the combination of tangy and sweet (dried fruit), the savory chick peas and the seasoned but just gently spicy flavors in the rice.

It’s also a good way to use up rice and chick peas if you don’t eat them during Passover.

And — it’s a good bet for Break-the-fast if (as we do) you have a dairy or vegetarian feast instead of the traditional smoked fish.

Chick Pea, Dried Fruit and Vegetable Pilaf

1 15 ounce can chick peas, drained

3 tablespoons olive oil

salt, paprika

3-4 medium scallions (or use a yellow onion), chopped

1 large clove garlic, chopped

2 medium carrots sliced 1/2-inch thick

1/2 cup halved dates, preferably medjool

1/3 cup cut up dried apricots

1/3 cup golden raisins

1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

pinch or two of Aleppo pepper (or use crushed red pepper or cayenne)

1 cup white rice

2 cups vegetable stock

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the chick peas on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, pour one tablespoon of the olive oil over them and toss to coat them. Sprinkle with salt and paprika. Roast for about 20 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, or until the chick peas are lightly crispy. When they are done, remove the chick peas from the oven, set them aside and turn the oven heat to 350 degrees. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large heat-proof, oven-proof pan over medium heat. Add the scallions, garlic and carrots and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the dates, apricots and raisins. Sprinkle with salt, cumin, coriander and Aleppo pepper, stir and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the rice and chick peas. Stir to distribute the ingredients evenly. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover the pan and place in the oven. Bake for about 45 minutes. Let rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
