spring is hereeee! this spring pea orzo is plant b spring is hereeee! this spring pea orzo is plant based, packed with flavors and nutrients, and is SO easy to make. here’s how:

01 Cook 1 cup of orzo in 2 cups of water. You do NOT have to rinse it, just a personal preference! Meanwhile, add about 2 cups of broccoli florets into a food processor. Pulse until the broccoli has turned into a rice. Careful not to over pulse or it will become soggy.

02 Heat extra virgin olive oil onto a pan then add in the broccoli rice. Cook & stir occasionally for about 10 minutes.

03 Add 1 cup of peas and 1 cup of edamame beans to the rice and stir to combine. After a few minutes, stir in the cooked orzo. Next stir in finely chopped herbs (I recommend parsley, chives, and a few sprigs of dill), sea salt and pepper to taste, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1 cup of vegan shredded cheese (I love Violife.)

04 Stir frequently and once the cheese has melted, remove from heat and serve. Top with lemon zest and an optional drizzle of coconut milk.

The Mediterranean diet has consistently been ranke The Mediterranean diet has consistently been ranked the healthiest diet in the world - luckily for vegans, it doesn’t include many animal products! I combined a few of my favorite vegan items from the mediterranean diet and compacted them into one easy to make lunch bowl. I did add tofu (not on the Mediterranean diet) but if you want to keep it 100% Mediterranean try lentils. This bowl is perfect for meal prep and tastes SO SO good.

RECIPE:

01 Cook 1 cup of quinoa in 2 cups of water. Once done, fluff with a fork then toss with finely chopped dill and parsley.

02 Chop up a block of high protein tofu into cubes. Toss with avocado oil spray, tamari, sea salt, and corn starch.
Once fully coated, air fry the tofu at 375 until crispy. Give them a stir after 12 minutes then air fry for another 8-10 minutes.

03 Wash about 6 baby potatoes and peel away any sprouts. Cut each potato into 4 wedges. Toss with avocado oil spray, sea salt, paprika, and zatar seasoning. Air fry at 400 degrees for about 12-15 minutes or until crispy.

04 To a dish add 1/2 cup Tahini, juice from 1/2 Lemon, 1/2 tsp Sea Salt, 1/4 tsp Black Pepper and 3-4 tbsp Water (add more if you want a runnier consistency.)

05 Chop up one large tomato, 2 Persian cucumbers, and set aside about 12 green olives and arugula.

06 Divide all ingredients into four bowls or meal prep containers. 1 serving includes 1 cup of arugula, 1/4th of the herby quinoa, 1/4th of the crispy tofu, about 5 potato wedges, 1/4th of the cucumber and tomato, 3 green olives, and a generous drizzle of lemon tahini. The remaining portions will stay good about 5 days. Enjoy!

I often get asked as a vegan why I still eat produ I often get asked as a vegan why I still eat products that look and taste like real meat, and the answer is really simple - because no animals were harmed!

This beef korma is one of my favorite healthy vegan dinners - I always make a big batch like this and save the leftovers. Recipe ⬇️

1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cardamom 
1 tsp grated ginger 
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 package @abbotsbutcher beef
Salt to taste 
Cilantro to garnish
Rice to serve

INSTRUCTIONS
01 Add avocado oil to a pot and heat on medium-low. Add onions and slowly sauté for 10-15 min, stirring occasionally until browned.

02 To a bowl add the yogurt, turmeric, salt and pepper, paprika, and garam masala. Whisk to combine.

03 Allow onions to cool, then transfer to a blender with the cashews, cilantro, and the yogurt mix. Blend for a minute or so.

04 Heat more avocado oil in the same pot on medium-low heat. Add cinnamon, cardamom, garlic, pepper, and ginger. Sauté for about one minute, or until spices are fragrant.

05 Add Abbot’s Butcher “Beef” to the pan and cook according to package instructions.

Vegan Fajita del Rey

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

If you live in Los Angeles, chances are you’ve been to (or at least heard of) Tocaya Organica, a modern + healthy Mexican restaurant. I am truly obsessed with their Fajita del Rey bowl and have been dying to recreate it ever since I tasted it. After a few rounds of trial and error, I’ve managed to recreate the bowl without adding a ton of oil or unnecessary fats – and the taste is spot on!

Mexican Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower rice is tricky to perfect, but luckily I’ve figured out how to perfect the texture so it’s not too soggy or too crunchy. Here’s how:

  • Use a frozen bag of cauliflower rice if you can – it’s much quicker to cook
  • Sautée the onions and all the seasoning in olive oil first, then mix in the cauliflower rice and sautee for 5-6 minutes. cooking the seasoning first allows the rice to be more fragrant
  • Don’t add water because the cauliflower won’t soak it up the way rice does – it’ll just get soggy and gross!

The fajita del rey bowl from Tocaya is customizable and is made with either cauliflower rice or jasmine rice – I went with the cauliflower rice to make this bowl as healthy as possible and to prove how yummy cauliflower rice can be! If you like this recipe, try my REFRESHING CUCUMBER SALAD which is a great base for bowls.

Seitan Chorizo

I love this recipe because it goes with everything – bowls, burritos, tacos, etc. It’s super easy to make and doesn’t require any obscure ingredients – you probably have them all in your pantry. Not only is it versatile, it has about 35g of protein in each bowl!

I’m pretty sure Tocaya uses Beyond Meat in their version, but I opted for seitan since it doesn’t have any chemicals or fattening ingredients. Beyond is okay once in awhile, but it’s best to avoid foods with ingredients you can’t pronounce as much as possible. If you have a gluten intolerance, crumble tofu (preferably high protein tofu!) and cook it using the same process. If you don’t feel like cooking seitan, Upton’s Naturals has a great seitan chorizo.

This fajita del rey bowl is truly delicious – I love Tocaya, but I much prefer cooking at home with ingredients I know I can trust as opposed to eating out which can be sketchy depending on where you go. This bowl is:

  • Extremely filling
  • Hearty
  • Nutritious
  • Packed with incredible Mexican flavors.

Enjoy!

Mexican Cauliflower Rice

  • after a few minutes, add your cauliflower rice. mix all ingredients well and keep covered. cook for 5-6 minutes stirring every minute or so
  • top with fresh cilantro (the more the better) and store in an airtight container in the fridge

Seitan Chorizo

  • drain and rinse a block of seitan and add to a large bowl. use a fork to crumble it as much as possible
  • add all seasoning to the bowl and mix thoroughly. let sit for at least 20 minutes before cooking it on a pan for 8-10 minutes

Cheesy Black Beans

  • drain and rinse your black beans and add to a pan with the plant-based milk and nutritional yeast. keep covered and cook until the milk has evaporated then roughly crush the beans with a fork

Bowl

  • chop the peppers into thin strips and sautée with the onions and the juice of 1/2 a lime - save the other half to add to your finished bowl. keep covered and stir occasionally
  • after 10-12 minutes, your peppers should be done and you can start arranging your bowl!
  • I divide all the ingredients evenly between 2 bowls - if it’s just for one, store the remaining ingredients in an airtight container in the fridge
