Red Lentil Dal
This Red Lentil Dal recipe is vegan and super easy to pull together. It's great on it's own or over rice. If you want to take it up a notch, wilt a handful of baby spinach or chopped rainbow chard and top with diced tomato. But you can't go wrong with this dish, and it only takes 30 minutes to make. It's loaded with protein, fiber, iron, and zinc.

This Miso Soup with Mushrooms is divine because of its wonderful umami flavor. It has a deep savory taste, with sweet, nutty, salty, and earthy notes. What makes this soup a champion in my book is its simplicity. With only a few ingredients, the miso soup takes 20 minutes to whip up. This quick vegan meal is not only wonderful on its own, but also delish over rice noodles.

If you're looking to keep breakfast light, this Spicy Orange Creamsicle Smoothie checks all the boxes. It tastes amazing! The texture is creamy like any good smoothie would be. It's fast (10-minutes) and easy to make with only six key ingredients. Best of all (in our opinion), is it's rich in fiber, antioxidants, and phytochemicals—these are beneficial compounds found in whole plant foods ("Phyto" refers to plants).
