People often ask me how I have so much time to prepare meals for myself all day and the answer is… I don’t. I’m super busy, and when it comes to food preparation I’m super lazy. That’s why I’ve become a master of quick, healthy, plant based meals that anyone can make in no time.
Today I want to share three of my favorite recipes with you that I eat on a regular basis. All of you that want to eliminate or at least minimize the practice of consuming unhealthy meat and dairy products are going to love these.
Muscle Building Shake:
16oz sugar free almond milk
30-50gms (depending on bodyweight) of Sun Warrior Protein
1 cup organic mixed frozen berries
½ cup frozen spinach (sounds gross but you can’t taste it)
1 banana
1 cup raw oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cacao nibs
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Add more water if thinner consistency is desired.
Pour and top with one tbsp goji berries.
I usually start every day with that.
Lentil Stew: this is incredibly easy to make, healthy and packed with protein.
1 carton veggie broth
1 carton of soup starter fresh from the grocery store (or just dice up a 2/3 cup each of carrots, celery and onions)
1 bag lentils
1-2 cups sliced mushrooms
3 cups of finely chopped kale
Diced garlic to taste (I usually go light with the garlic)
Sea salt to taste
Red pepper (better for you than black pepper)
Bring all ingredients to boil in large pot then reduce heat, cover and let simmer for 90-120 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more water if necessary to achieve desired consistency. Personally, I prefer mine to be thick and not thin and soupy.
If you’re in a rush, just throw in the broth, soup starter veggies, lentils and spices and cook it for an hour. Easy as could be.
If you need more carbs you can dice up some potatoes and add it to the stew or simply pour the lentils over some brown rice pasta when they’re done.

Mexican Beans & Rice
2 cups organic brown rice
2 cans organic black beans
2 cups frozen mixed peppers
1 sliced avocado
½ cup frozen diced onions
Sea salt to taste
Red pepper to taste
Organic salsa
Cook rice in a pot by itself or if you’re pressed for time get the frozen pre cooked bags of brown rice from Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods. That’s what I usually use when I’m too lazy to cook. Put beans, frozen peppers in onions in a pan and heat them to desired temperature. Combine all ingredients into one big bowl when hot. Add spices and top with sliced avocado and organic salsa.
This is another staple in my diet and is incredibly fast and easy to make.
