  1. Green Smoothie.

Smoothies are great options for anyone looking for a quick and easy boost of energy. Sometimes all we need in the middle of the day is a quick pick-me-up and a smoothie is perfect.

  • Kale or spinach
  • Banana
  • Mango
  • Almond milk or any other nut milk
  • Chia seeds or hemp seeds
  • Almond butter

All you have to do is throw everything in a blender and there you go you have a perfect pick-me-up.

2. Quinoa Salad with Lemon- Tahini Dressing

Quinoa is a great source of protein and fiber. Combine cooked quinoa with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, parsley, and some avocado. Top with a lemon tahini dressing for a fresh and energizing meal.

3. Sweet Potatoe and Black Bean Tacos

Sweet potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates, providing steady energy. Roast sweet potatoes and black beans with cumin and paprika. Serve with grain-free tortillas (Siete Foods), avocado, and salsa.

4. Vegan Buddha Bowl

Create a colorful Buddha bowl with brown rice, roasted veggies, tofu, and a drizzle of tahini sauce. Add some fresh greens and a sprinkle of sesame seeds or nuts for a nice crunch.

5. Spicy Chickpea Wraps

These wraps are perfect for a quick lunch. Fill whole wheat tortillas (Siete Foods Tortialls) with spicy roasted chickpeas, avocado, lettuce, and a tangy vegan yogurt sauce.

6. Protein-Packed Overnight Oats

Prepare these oats the night before for an easy and energizing breakfast. Combine rolled oats with almond milk, chia seeds, and a pinch of cinnamon. Let sit in the fridge overnight. Top with fruit and nut butter the next morning for a healthy delicious breakfast.

7. Zesty Lemon Soup

Lentils are a fantastic source of protein and iron for people who are plant-based. Cook lentils with carrots, celery, tomatoes, and a mix of spices. Add vegetable broth and a little bit of coconut cream and this is the perfect comforting meal.

8. Amond Butter Banana Toast

This simple snack is great for a mid-day pick-me-up. Spread almond butter or any other nut butter on whole wheat toast, top with banana slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

9. Chocolate Chia Pudding

Satisfy your sweet tooth with this healthy dessert. Mix chia seeds with almond milk, cocoa powder, and a touch of maple syrup. Let sit in the fridge a few hours before enjoying, and top with berries and nuts!

10. Energizing Green Tea Latte

Swap your regular coffee for a green tea latte. Matcha green tea powder is packed with antioxidants and provides a gentle caffeine boost. Mix with Almon milk and a touch of agave syrup.

Incorporating these simple vegan recipes can help boost your energy levels. Not only are they delicious but super easy to prepare, but they also provide the essential nutrients your body needs to stay energized!
