Love these quick recipes!❤

[@plantwhys]

Yay I am so glad!

[@anonanon1982]

Absolutely love your channel❣️

[@plantwhys]

Awe! Thank you! You just made my day! It means a lot!!

[@mar-linaustell7505]

I made the pasta recipe. I added a couple tablespoons of nooch to the sauce. It was very good. Thank you

[@plantwhys]

Brilliant! Great idea!

[@BrownEyedGirl331]

Thank you for debunking the protein myth for vegans and vegetarians I hear this so often 'I won't get enough protein,' if I don't eat meat. If anything, Americans eat too much protein. Average needs are for a man 56 grams, a woman 46, that is not much.

[@leapintothewild]

And people don’t seem to realize that too much protein is really hard on your organs over time!

[@plantwhys]

I know. It is so tricky because high protein recipes always do well... people like watching how to increase protein in plant-based dishes. BUT not everyone has to actually eat that way all the time!

[@bethkeel1419]

Thanks for the recipes! The red pepper pasta sauce looks great, I'll definitely try it! Your kids are fun! I think your daughter wins the award for todays video 😂

[@plantwhys]

ha ha I'll have to let her know. She was totally embarrassed to be on Camera. She was like, "mom, my friends will see this!"

[@leapintothewild]

😂 Your daughter is darling! You have fun kids! 💕 And making that red pepper pasta tomorrow - already have everything on hand!

[@plantwhys]

Yay! Let me know what you think!

[@leapintothewild]

@@plantwhys It was delicious!! Served with a big salad and some homemade bread. It’s definitely a keeper - and a quick meal that doesn’t look like it 😋

[@Psaltrymom]

I didn't have tempeh, but I did have some seitan in the fridge that I made earlier this week. So, I marinated that and air fried it for the gyros -- SO good! I really love that marinade. I'm going to marinate the rest of the "meat" overnight in the fridge for tomorrow's lunch! Can't believe how fast that came together. Thank you!

[@laurasoftheart]

I made those Gyros. They are delicious!

[@kat4animals004]

Love these healthy high protein vegan, truly Happy meals!

[@plantwhys]

ha ha YES!

[@cltinturkey]

These recipes look great! I can't wait to try them. Please share where you bought the high protein pasta and the Kontos greek style flatbreads. I haven't seen those in NOVA markets. Here's a tip for you. Just by chance, I found Oh! Market International grocery in Manassas. They have great produce and spices, grains, noodles, etc. from Latin America, the Middle East, South and East Asia, the Mediterranean, and beyond. They also have a little food court with small counters inside. It takes a while to navigate, but wow is it worth visiting. Take a list of obscure ingredients and spices you use often and price check there.

[@AmroNaddy]

I’m in Vienna area, and I’ve seen high protein pasta at Whole Foods, Costco and Walmart. Usually Banza brand chickpea pasta, but there are other brands available

[@cltinturkey]

@@AmroNaddy Thanks. You're kind to share this info.

[@plantwhys]

Oh that's awesome! I'll have to make a drive over! My closest grocery store is GIANT, so that is honestly where i shop most of the time and where I found the pita bread and pasta.

[@plantwhys]

@@AmroNaddy You are so close! I am in Arlington!

[@AmroNaddy]

@ hah awesome, we are neighbors! I’m sure we know a bunch of people in common

[@MarcyStuart5x5]

Thanks for sharing your tips with us; and for taking the time a busy mom doesn't usually have to do it.

[@plantwhys]

Thank you!! Just don't judge my messy kitchen because sometimes I don't have time to clean it before making videos. ha ha.

[@MarcyStuart5x5]

@@plantwhys It's not messy, it's where you work!

[@kathystoner5239]

Looks delicious!

[@adriennegrabovac9189]

Everything looks delicious but I was wondering if you can recommend a substitute for the tofu in the marinara sauce recipe. I can't do soy. Ty

[@jaycee157]

Perhaps we. Would use white beans or cananelli beans. In place of the tofu

[@plantwhys]

Yes! White beans make a great substitute!

[@mar-linaustell7505]

Thanks for the recipes. I've been feeling depressed and not feeling like cooking. I'm about to make one or two of the recipes. I don't have any cherry tomatoes.

[@jaycee157]

How are you today? I can relate with you that sometimes I don't feel like cooking. Hope you feel better and will start with even one recipe at a time

[@plantwhys]

That chickpea one was crazy easy and fast. Try it out and let me know what you think. I understand not feeling like cooking, that is my life most of the time!

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Yummy 😋 High Protein 10 minute meals Ali and thanks 👍 for sharing them. Another awesome video and it's good to see your daughter's reaction to these meals. Love 🥰 the video and love 💓Ali & family.

[@plantwhys]

Thank you! She was so embarrassed but I'll let her know that everyone loves her :)

[@nurtureulifecoaching3226]

Is it necessary to use raw cashews?

[@plantwhys]

No, just makes it a little more creamy.

[@sandybeliever3755]

i love those half packs of tofu!

[@plantwhys]

They are so convenient!

[@donna589]

What do you think I could substitute for cashews? Nut allergies here

[@meganrichardson6471]

I’ve used sunflower seeds before and also just some white beans. When you are putting things in a high speed blender it all just becomes creamy! Oh also tahini would work, it’s basically sesame seed butter

[@leapintothewild]

Agree with the other reply - I can’t do many nuts and sub in rinsed cannellini beans (white kidneys). They’re really mild and not too soft, so they thicken, add protein, and don’t change the flavor of recipes.

[@plantwhys]

You can use tahini or white beans! (or even skip it and add a little soy milk)

[@alexanderarias7441]

Thanks ❤😍❤😍❤

[@gidget8717]

Okay, question. Do you worry about "complete protein" if not why not? I'm confused as heck about pairings foods. Anyone? 😕

[@plantwhys]

Such a great question. The thought of needing to eat a complete protein in one meal is outdated science. They have since proven that your body can easily compensate. So you can drop that notion and just eat without the stress. :)

[@gidget8717]

@plantwhys 🤷‍♀️ 😆 thank you! people make things so unnecessarily complicated 👍

[@jaycee157]

Noticed that you didn't mention if the cashew was soaked in boiling water. The sauce was not cooked

[@plantwhys]

No, my high speed blender doesn't require soaking before. But you will need to soak the cashews if you don't have a high speed blender.

[@arykaarmitage9178]

Tried Tempah last week, marinated like your recipe for "Facon" and it tasted a little chalky. Is there something I missed? Love all your recipes. Thanks for sharing.

[@ashleymills794]

If you steam the Tempeh before you marinate it, you will get rid of some of the funky taste.

[@arykaarmitage9178]

@@ashleymills794 thank you... I did like the texture... so this should help. Have a great day...

[@plantwhys]

Yes, boil or steam it before cooking.

[@EatWithMe-Refiloe]

Loving it here ❤❤ small KZbinrs like myself let’s connect here

[@tigerdeer]

Nope. Will not do Tempeh, ever. It's evil.

[@plantwhys]

Ha ha. That's ok. The other two recipes didn't use tempeh though, so hope you still found value!
