Pro Tips & Cooking Tricks
Combine incomplete proteins (rice + beans, hummus + pita) to get all essential amino acids - no need for animal products
Season aggressively - vegetables shine with garlic, herbs, spices, and umami boosters like soy sauce, nutritional yeast, or miso
Master meat substitutes: pressed tofu for stir-fries, tempeh for crumbles, portobello mushrooms for burgers, jackfruit for pulled texture
Do not fear fat - olive oil, nuts, seeds, and avocado add satisfaction and help absorb fat-soluble vitamins from your vegetables
Roast vegetables at high heat (425°F+) for caramelization and depth - transforms boring veggies into crave-worthy side dishes
Keep canned beans, frozen vegetables, and curry pastes stocked - enables quick, nutritious meals even when fresh produce runs low
