A very satisfying meal!

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!

VEGAN CRETAN DAKOS WITH TOFU FETA 🌱

This is a classic recipe from the Greek Island of Crete. It’s called dakos (ντάκος) and is served as a meze (appetizer), and consists of barley rusks, finely chopped tomatoes, crumbled vegan feta, oregano, olives, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. A simple, refreshing and satisfying dish, perfect for sharing.😋

👉Full recipe: https://www.veganeasy.org/recipes/vegan-cretan-dakos-with-tofu-feta/

OR see below👇

⇨ INGREDIENTS (serves 2-3)
🌱2 large Cretan barley rusks* (we used the Samaria brand)
🌱1/2 cup water (1/4 cup for each rusk)
🌱2-3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
🌱2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
🌱80g/2.8oz tofu feta (homemade or store-bought)
🌱black olives, to serve
🌱dry oregano and cracked pepper, to taste
🌱Optional: iodised salt, to taste

⇨ INSTRUCTIONS
1. If using homemade tofu feta, make it at least one day prior. (Recipe for tofu feta: https://www.veganeasy.org/recipes/best-vegan-tofu-feta/ )
2. Place the rusks on a shallow dish and moisten them with 1/4 cup of water for each, then drizzle with about half a tablespoon of olive oil each.
3. Finely chop the tomatoes and place on top of the rusks. Then crumble the tofu feta and also place on top. Sprinkle with oregano, cracked pepper and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
4. Serve with black olives and use a small fork to break apart the barley rusks when ready to enjoy.

Note: *Cretan barley rusks can be found in Greek delicatessens or at online stores.
