You want to eat healthy. You want to get plenty of micronutrients and a balanced proportion of macronutrients. You’re vegan and you want to make sure you get enough protein. But you just don’t have the time to think too much about food or cook complicated recipes. If this sounds familiar, you might be interested in these three recipes.

Italian-Style Spaghetti Squash with Tempeh

This spaghetti squash recipe from Whole Foods can be made in less than an hour. It’s got plenty of protein in the tempeh and has three whole vegetables packed in: spaghetti squash, broccoli, and spinach. Plus, most of the cook time is just waiting for the squash to bake, so it doesn’t actually take that much effort.

Easy Vegetable Curry With Tofu

Curries are one of the best ways to get in vegetables and protein in a recipe that is both quick and vegan. This vegetable and tofu curry recipe from Running on Real Food can be put together in just 15 minutes! Score!

Edamame Fried Rice

If you’re tired of tofu and seitan and tempeh as your protein sources, you might be into this fried rice recipe from the Food Network that uses edamame as the protein. As written, bell peppers are the only veggies and there are eggs as well, but you can totally add more veggies, and then just exclude the eggs.
