I am on a mission to incorporate at least 15% protein at every meal. I had struggled a bit with the protein part of the vegan diet, but I have started to plan better! This is a cheap, tasty recipe I first enjoyed in its non-vegan version my sophomore year of college. It is simple, super filling, and absolutely delicious!
So challenge yourself with me if you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet... get at least 15% of your calories from protein at every meal.
