Eating a plant-based diet can be a great way to boost your health and reduce your environmental impact, but it can be challenging to keep your carbohydrate intake low while avoiding meat and dairy products. Here are a few plant-based, low-carb recipes to try:
Tofu and vegetable stir-fry: Cut tofu into bite-sized pieces and stir-fry in a nonstick pan until lightly browned. Add chopped vegetables of your choice (such as bell peppers, mushrooms, and broccoli) and continue to stir-fry until tender. Season with soy sauce or tamari and serve.
Spaghetti squash with marinara sauce: Cut a spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. Bake in the oven until tender, then use a fork to scrape out the spaghetti-like strands. Heat up your favorite marinara sauce (check the label for added sugars) and serve over the spaghetti squash.
Chickpea and vegetable curry: In a large pot, sauté chopped onion and garlic in coconut oil until tender. Add chopped vegetables of your choice (such as cauliflower, zucchini, and carrots) and sauté for a few minutes. Add a can of chickpeas, canned diced tomatoes, and your favorite curry spices (such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric). Simmer until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Remember, there are many ways to eat a plant-based, low-carb diet. Experiment with different vegetables, proteins, and spices to find the recipes that work best for you and your body.
