Plant-based protein

All of these vegan dishes are packed with protein thanks to plant-based sources like tofu and beans.
Crispy mango tofu quinoa bowl
by Craig Morrison

Crispy tofu gets a sticky glaze and bed of herby quinoa for this make-ahead lunch that really packs in the plant points. It’s a bright, filling vegan lunch that can be packed into containers and finished with yoghurt just before eating.

Each serving provides 474 kcal, 25.5g protein, 64.4g carbohydrate (of which 25.4g sugars), 9.9g fat (of which 1.3g saturates), 11g fibre and 2.49g salt.
