Girl Dinner goes back to the beginning of time. It's a concoction of random food you have on hand that you make a meal out of. Girl Dinner went viral on TikTok, and we're giving it a healthy spin. This healthy vegan recipe is gluten-free, soy-free, oil-free, and vegan.

What's in this Girl Dinner recipe?

  1. Carrots
  2. Celery
  3. Bell pepper
  4. Jicama
  5. Almonds, raw
  6. Grapes
  7. Olives (in brine)
  8. Roasted Chickpeas

Because this recipe is primarily made up of ingredients you have on hand, you can swap out ingredients for whatever is fresh and in-season where you live.

The key to putting a healthy Girl Dinner together is making it veggie-rich, with healthy plant fats and legumes (beans, peas, or lentils) for protein, and fresh fruit as the dessert.

What makes this healthy?

This girl dinner recipe is high in fiber, protein, and several micronutrients, including:

  • Beta carotene—is a precursor to Vitamin A and a powerful antioxidant beneficial for eye health and lowering the risk of certain cancers.
  • Vitamin C—is beneficial for collagen production, and with Vitamin E it's a chain-breaking antioxidant shown to protect cells against oxidative damage.
  • Iron—this non-heme iron-rich meal can also help maintain healthy blood. When combined with vitamin C, the non-heme iron is absorbed into the body more efficiently.
  • High Fiber—eating a diet high in fiber aids in weight loss and a healthy gut.
