Manasa Rajan’s 5 Vegan Recipes That Can Combat Any Nutritional Deficiencies

1. Smoothie Bowl

When we think about eating more nutrition-dense foods to impact our health and build immunity. The most important consideration is the variety of colours on our plate (or bowl). Every pigment and colour in fruit, vegetables and grains has a certain range of unique plant nutrients, which impacts our health in a powerful way!

2. Black Channa Patties

The easiest way to get your meals to be more satiating, fibre dense and mineral-rich, is to add beans! Beans are great for bone health, heart health and gut health and perfect for diabetics and PCOD. An interesting way to eat more beans is to make these patties that are great for sandwiches, rolls and in a salad!

3. Fruit Dessert

Eating healthy doesn’t mean boring, tasteless food or a life without pleasure. It is about loving the vast range of colourful, juicy, nutrition-dense foods.. it is about abundance in your food choices and abundance (no portion control) on your plate. To let appetite and satiety determine your food choice, not control. This dessert is a perfect pick me up, comforting, creamy, flavourful and fruit sweetened.

4. Baked Whole Grain Mathri

This is a very non-traditional approach to Mathri, but a nutritious and guilt-free one! The Mathri recipe can be used for the monsoon!

5. Veggie Besan Chilla
