Try giving up meat for a day every so often to help our planet and benefit our food systems. With the population rising by around 30% over the next 30 years, the demand for meat at the current rate simply can’t be met.
Did you know, if you omitted meat for one meal, you’d save:
- Enough carbon emissions to boil a kettle 388 times
- The daily water usage of nine people
- Up to 11g of fat
- Up to 90 calories

- 2 x 400g packs firm tofu
- 1 400g can chickpeas
1 tbsp. Coconut Oil - 1 tbsp. paprika
- 200g asparagus
- Pinch sea salt and pepper
- 1 large sweet potato

1 tbsp. Organic Maca Powder

Method
1. Preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C for fan-assisted.
2. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into skinny fries, then parboil for 10 minutes. Drain well and leave for a few minutes to release moisture, then sprinkle over a little flour and 1 tbsp. maca powder. Bake for 20-25 minutes on the top shelf of the oven.
3. Whilst waiting, heat a large pan on a medium to high heat and add coconut oil, chickpeas and asparagus. Fry for 7-8 minutes and then add the tofu. Fry for a further 3 minutes, tossing occasionally and add paprika, salt and pepper and fry for 2 more minutes.
1. Add all ingredients to a blender and process until smooth and creamy. Place into a small Tupperware box to add to your meal prep once you’ve warmed it up again.
1. Combine the Vegan Blend and Instant Oats in a mixing bowl. Add the nut butter and syrup, mix, and gradually add the milk until you can roll the mixture into balls. Roll the balls in chia seeds and pop into plastic tubs to bring with you for a healthy snack!
