Plant-based Vegan Recipes That Prove Lentils Are Better Than Meat

Plant-Based Vegan Recipes that will make you forget about meat

Plant-based vegan recipes with lentils are better than meat in all cases and provide enough protein with the right ingredients, and you can prepare delicious and healthy dishes. Even ultra-marathon runners, athletes, and sportsmen rely upon vegan food to keep their bodies healthy, fit, and active.

Lentils are high in protein; you can prepare them to replace meat. One cup of lentils provides about 18 grams of dietary protein and contains numerous other beneficial nutrients our body requires daily.

Lentils have the second-highest ratio of protein per calorie compared to other legumes. As one of our oldest crops, the legume has been cultivated in Egypt and Asia since ancient times.

Even if the soaking of the unpeeled varieties costs a little more time, it’s worth it because of the fibers. Thanks to fibers and so-called complex carbohydrates, lentils are slowly digested. Because the blood sugar level remains stable over a longer period of time, the legumes are ideal for diabetics and people who want to lose weight.

Moreover, they last a long time and deliver fewer calories than rice or pasta. The beneficial effect on the blood sugar level makes lentils ideal for diabetics and weight loss.

They contain many minerals and trace elements: potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, copper, phosphorus, and a lot of iron. Lentils are an excellent source of vegetable protein for vegetarians and vegans.

To prove the fact that lentils can provide you with taste, health, and energy, try the plant-based vegan recipes below.
