Spicy Pepper Hummus

Since the Super Bowl is coming up, I thought I would share one of my favorite healthy snack recipes, this spicy pepper hummus!  This comes together in about 5 minutes, and is so easy to make but so good!  It is packed with fiber and protein, and it is satisfying served as a dip for veggies or chips.  I even like this used as a sandwich spread or on top of salads!

Vegan Roasted Sweet Potato Nacho Cheese

I loved nacho cheese growing up!  So now I like to  make a healthier version at home featuring sweet potatoes as the main ingredient!  This cheese contains no dairy, but it still tastes rich and delicious like the cheese I remember!  I love it for dipping with chips, but you can also take it and mix pasta in for a mac and cheese with a kick!  Or as a sauce to drizzle over things like burritos or cooked veggies!

Southwest Tofu Scramble

If you are trying to eat plant based for the new year, a tofu scramble is a great alternative to eggs!  It is still packed with protein, but contains no cholesterol unlike eggs.  This is really easy to make, and although this one is flavored with southwest veggies, feel free to switch the veggies up according to what you have on hand or prefer!

Just because it is winter, does not mean you can’t enjoy veggie packed salads!  We could all use a bit more vitamins from our food this time of the year, which is why I like to make things like this Chopped Kale Salad!  It is easy to make, but packed with nutrients, and so delicious!  I like to make a batch, then eat it in my lunches I take to work for the week with some edamame or tofu served on top for more protein!
