Liked it but it was kinda small because i was used to wat 7000 calories a day?
whoa! maybe you could double the portion next time?
I love your recipes but do you have the nutritional values please I need to know calories/protein? Thank you
Hi Hayley, we’re glad you enjoy our recipes?
All the recipes from our new health/fitness meal plans contain values for Protein, Carbs, Fat and Calories listed at the bottom of each recipe, see: https://www.veganeasy.org/healthfitnessmealplans/
The recipes from our original 30-day menu do not include nutritional values. If you’d like to find out what they are you could use a calorie tracking app or website like MyFitnessPal or Cronometer, etc – simply weigh the ingredients and enter them into the app to track calories and macronutrients.
Was amazing definitely a big portion and I couldn’t finish it but overall was so yum ?
Was delicious but this was such a big meal for 1, any body else find this
Glad you liked it! We’ve not had this feedback before about it being too large a meal for one person. It might feel big depending on what you’re normally used to eating?
Yum! Will definitely make this again.
I prepared this bowl and really enjoyed it.
AWESOME LOOKS DELICIOUS AND CANT WAIT TO START
Yummy! It’s easy to cook. I like it so much.
Tomorrow is my first day challenge. I’m not to eat tofu due to the estrogen. (post cancer patient)what can I substitute or do I need to substitute in order to keep a certain number of calories?
Hi Cynthia!
All the recipes in the challenge are nutritionally and calorically adequate and are dietician approved. You can definitely use a substitute of your choice that worths with your diet restrictions but we can’t say the nutritional profile will be an exact match for the original recipe.
Who knew tofu tasted that good
Cooking this made me feel like a true vegan ?
So good! We had this our first week and have made it almost every week since. Unfortunately we never have leftovers because my teen aged boys devour it. Very easy weeknight meal!
Yummy! Thanks for the great recipe.
Have finished the first day of the 30 day challenge,. I have enjoyed the food and it was easy to prepare, even my husband who loves his meat has enjoyed his first day. Looking forward to the 2nd day challenge .
Hi, approximately how many people does each recipe feed?
Hi Rachael, all recipes connected with the 30 Day Vegan Easy Challenge meal plan serve 1 person. You can times the ingredients by as many people as you need :)
