Not only are vegan diets a great way to eat more sustainably, but they also offer science-backed health benefits including a lower risk of heart disease, obesity and diabetes. Still, there’s a common misconception that forgoing meat means you’ll lack protein — a key macronutrient responsible for building and repairing muscle tissue, regulating hormones and supporting metabolism.

These delicious dinners are proof; they contain up to 21 grams of protein per serving, along with satiating fiber and other important vitamins and minerals.
