5 Protein-Packed Dishes for Meatless Monday
Feeling sluggish from an overindulgent weekend? Here are five of our favorite meat-free proteins to help you reset for the week.
Quinoa
Quinoa is one of our favorite high-protein grains. Toss it into a stir fry with spinach, cherry tomatoes, crunchy walnuts, garlic and a sprinkle of cheese.

Black Beans
Black beans make a great entrée or side dish. Try mixing them with brown rice spiced with corn, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeños, lime juice and hot sauce.

Edamame
Edamame can be the star of any salad. Combine it with corn, peppers and onion for a light and refreshing meal.

Tofu
We love a good marinade, and this baked tofu dish is no exception. Here’s a hint: It has sesame oil, tamari soy sauce, sake and chili paste.
