🍲 Ingredients
Lentils – Lentils are a great addition to any vegan or vegetarian recipe. They add a ton of protein and fiber that keeps your full (and regular). Because of their high protein content, this means they are a great meat alternative in your diet. Bonus that they are inexpensive and super versatile to throw in any recipe, whether pasta sauce, salads, or this lentils with spinach recipe. Lentils are also packed with B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and potassium, and are a fantastic source of iron. Iron is often hard to get enough of when you’re vegan and vegetarian so eating foods like spinach and lentils that are rich in it definitely helps. Plant Butter – For this recipe, I used one of my go-to kitchen staples, and that’s Califia Farms Plant Butter. If you are vegan, you’ll understand the difficulty in finding the perfect plant butter that is versatile to cook with, bake with, or spread. What’s I love about this plant butter is that it’s made from REAL food like cashews, tiger nuts, nutritional yeast, avocado oil or olive oil. The ingredients are amazing, but you also get that creamy butter-like taste that does all the things you need butter to do (bake, cook, melt, spread). These products stay clear from palm and canola oils and provide that yummy taste you’ll love with the use of whole foods, versus just fat like regular non-vegan butter.
