We’re fast approaching summer days and with that comes for many of us conflicting desires - less time in the kitchen, but at the same time to feel a little lighter in our summer clothes.

We’re fast approaching summer days and with that comes for many of us conflicting desires - less time in the kitchen, but at the same time to feel a little lighter in our summer clothes.

Maybe you don’t want to lose a a substantial amount of weight (maybe you do) but one thing is for sure, *feeling* lighter gives us the ability to move easier, play longer, and feel more confident.

Plus, we know the simplest and easiest way to slim down is to cook at home. But when the sun is shining through your Sunday curtains, your favourite books already packed in your beach bag, and those plans with your girlfriends are already made, it’s really tough to want to cook today for Monday.

But you really can fit it all in. You deserve to run around outside and soak up those weekend hours, but you also deserve self care. Self care in the form of eating your veggies and eating enough protein to (at least) sustain your muscles, bone density, strong hair and nails, and a boosted metabolism to name a few reasons.

So today I want to arm you with 5 high protein plant-based recipes that are quick to make, taste great, and get some much needed fibre, healthy fats, and complex carbs into your diet.

#1: Sushi Bowls

Craving sushi? Prep this instead!

#2: Vegan Summer Cobb Salad

Nothing says sunshine like a crunchy and fresh salad. You can find this one on my website, here.

#3: Dill Chick’n Salad

Perfect for the fiber hungry who don’t want to knife and fork it all the time. Add this salad to wraps, sandwiches, or bagels!
