Another day, another vegan recipe… in honor of Veganuary :)
This recipe includes 6 veggies, whole grains, protein and FIBER! While many athletes want to prioritize protein, they often forget about another key nutrient which is fiber! Fiber is essential for keeping us full, regulating blood glucose, manage/lower cholesterol levels, support a healthy gut, and so much more! The recommended daily intake for fiber is 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men, and less than 5% of men and 15% of women meet their daily intake goals! THIS IS CRAZY. This recipe, for a single serving had 9.1 grams of fiber, which is 36% of a women’s daily intake requirements and 23% of the requirements for males. Give this recipe a try and get in your fiber and your protein!
