Food Plant-based doesn’t have to mean complicated (Picture: Reema Patel)

For us omnivores, the idea of going fully vegan isn’t only daunting because we’re worried we’ll miss things like meat and dairy, it’s because we’ll be thrown completely out of our comfort zone when it comes to cooking.

What do you make when you’re short on time and can’t just crack open a tin of tuna, mix it with rice and call it a day?

Or what about when you have to cater for a few people and don’t want to buy in fancy ingredients?

And what about for people who hate cooking? It can’t be another night of demolishing a box of Linda McCartney sausage rolls, surely…

Thankfully, dietician and nutritionist for Dietician Fit & Co, Reema Patel, has shared three extremely easy plant-based meals for people who don’t necessarily like to spend hours in the kitchen.

Three easy and simple plant-based recipes

Waffles with blueberries and peanut butter

  • 15g all Natural Peanut Butter 
  • 40g blueberries 
  • 3g hemp Seeds 
  • 20ml maple Syrup

  1. Onto each waffle, evenly spread on the peanut butter

  3. Cook over medium heat until the onions have softened, about 3 to 5 minutes
  4. Add the salt and stir to combine
  5. Wilt in the spinach and add the pre-cooked lentils, balsamic vinegar, and the remaining broth
  6. Continue to cook over medium heat for about five  minutes more until most of the liquid has been absorbed
  7. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the steamed sweet potato and parsley
  8. Divide into bowls and enjoy
