This sugar-free, oil-free, plant-based granola features crunchy clusters, roasted nuts, and your choice of dried fruit. The genius ingredient is date syrup, but maple syrup can also be used. My favorite seasoning is orange zest and nutmeg, but other choices are provided. Eat it with berries and yogurt, milk, on smoothie bowls, in fruit parfaits, or just on its own. It’s addictive!
If you don’t like hard, chewy vegan scrambled tofu, this is your recipe. Aquafaba (chickpea brine) is the secret. It lends frothiness and body to these plant-based “eggs” without causing them to burn or brown in the pan, and it’s also very low in fat. This recipe is inexpensive–especially compared to commercial egg substitutes–provides about 20 grams of protein per serving, and it’s quick to make. Can be made into a veggie scramble and tastes great on toast.
Compote is like a pie filling, but healthy. No need to add sugar. It’s so good for breakfast or dessert—see my ideas for many different ways to enjoy it. This recipe also works for apples. And it freezes well! The Instant Pot makes it simple.

No sugar needed with this smoothie. It’s full of antioxidants and other micronutrients with berries and kale, and the citrus and ginger give it a zing that will keep you drinking more and more.
This is a great dish for using quinoa, rice, or other grain leftovers. The base is like rice pudding, while the cooked apples and sweet almond butter sauce make it special.
Delicious whole-food smoothies that are fast to make are important for life on the go. These focus on a balance between taste and simplicity.
Avocado toast is a fast breakfast, and with this addition of chickpeas, it’s also the delivery system for lots of protein and fiber, not to mention iron, zinc, folate, and potassium (found in all legumes).
This tofu-based scramble provides a filling breakfast bursting with flavors and nutrients. You can customize this in so many ways by choosing different vegetables, beans, and toppings.
Check out this step-by-step guide for making soymilk yogurt in your Instant Pot. At first it takes a little thought and effort to find the right two ingredients. But these ingredients can be bought and stored in advance, and once you’ve nailed the process, it becomes second-nature. A source of probiotics, this plant-based yogurt is great for microbiome health. It tastes awesome, too.
