🌱 Sweet Potato, Lentil & Pesto Pasta Salad🌱

https://www.veganeasy.org/recipes/sweet-potato-lentil-pesto-pasta-salad

A very satisfying meal!

One of our Vegan Easy Challenge participants shared their concern about the possibility of not feeling full while transitioning to vegan...

If you're thinking the same, here's what we suggest:

Depending on what you're used to consuming, it could take a few days to figure out what foods you need to eat to ensure you're consuming the calories you need to feel satisfied, especially if you are making considerable changes to your diet. So:

🌟 Include plant protein in your main meals because protein helps us feel satisfied and full. Plant proteins include tofu, tempeh, beans, lentils, peas, soy milk etc. There's also protein in whole nuts, seeds, as well as nut & seed butters (peanut butter, tahini, etc) which are calorie dense.

🌟 Include healthy fats like avocado (on toast or in salads, etc), nut/seed butters and some oils used sparingly such as cold-pressed flaxseed and olive oil.

🌟 Consume fibre-rich whole foods as they keep us full. Foods such as a variety of vegetables, legumes, nuts/seeds, fruits, which are also rich in micronutrients.

🌟 Try combining the above three (plant protein, fibre-rich foods and healthy fats) in most of your meals to help with satiety.

Plus, have fun with it!

Ok, so this might be a little out of left field, but bear with us... 😉 🌱

In recent years, the global phenomenon of K-dramas has captured the hearts of audiences around the world. The immersive storytelling, clever scriptwriters, diverse characters, and unique cultural elements have contributed to the widespread popularity of Korean dramas.

As the K-drama industry thrives, it is crucial for its continuity to explore avenues for growth and inclusivity, particularly in addressing themes that resonate with the evolving values of a global audience.

In tandem with the K-drama boom, there has been a growing interest in veganism and embracing compassion towards animals.

Just as K-dramas have the ability to influence fashion trends and societal norms, they can also play a pivotal role in further shaping attitudes towards veganism and encouraging viewers to care more for animals.

Some newer K-dramas have elements of this. Netflix’s ‘Mr Queen’ saw the protagonist, a modern-day male chef whose soul gets trapped in the body of a queen from the Joseon era, create a vegan burger in episode 12, called the ‘Macdunaldu’ – the highlight of the king’s banquet. It was cleverly explained that ‘MacDuNalDu’ stands for barley (Mac), bean (Du), fattening (Nal) and belly (Du).

By embracing themes of animal rights and veganism, the K-drama industry can contribute to a more conscious and socially responsible entertainment landscape.

As viewers become increasingly aware of their choices, K-dramas have the potential to not only entertain but also inspire positive transformations in society.

🌱CHICKPEA CURRY with KALE (for gut health)🌱

This chickpea curry is a gut-friendly, low FODMAP recipe that tastes delish! 😋

They're a good source of protein, carbohydrates, manganese, folate, iron and phosphorus. Plus this dish includes the wholesome nutritional goodness of kale, tomatoes, ginger, greens of leeks (the dark green top part of leeks are low FODMAP), tahini and brown rice.
