I’d love to see some soy free high protein recipes! my stomach is extremely sensitive to soy and I’ve been struggling to get enough protein in since I cut it out
I took a beginning foods class last year and the first thing the teacher asked me was “where do you get your protein?” because I told her I was vegetarian. I ended up dropping the class two weeks in. She had no idea what she was talking about..
Hi sarah . Italian vegan cook here . Bologna is a city , so even if different regions may switch the recipe the proper recipe is the one from bologna and you did exactly the write thing ! yep...no garlic. It s even better with small green lentils instead of mince , that s how Italian vegans make ragù alla Bolognese but yours looks amazing. Big hug ❤
Don't you cook Bolognese for hours usually? I mean we do - 2 to 3 hours I think but of course you make a big pan full of it and then keep portions in the freezer
thank you for sharing your cultural insights! I’m a Vietnamese American food science major in CA, so it’s just cool hearing people getting passionate over food and sharing their culture and experiences through it 🤗👩🍳 you are appreciated!!
it's possible I just am paying attention to it now but the explanations in this video are really good! like explaining each step and why we're doing it, what is the role of each ingredient, etc. something like "sugar goes from caramellized to burnt really fast" is so useful to know and really shows how good you are at explaining the fundamentals of cooking
I recently got diagnosed as type 2 diabetic and i’m so glad I found your channel. the biggest challenge for me was changing the food I eat. Your recipes taste amazing & grateful for your channel ❤
research has shown whole food plant based to reverse type too and animal products to increase development (check out the China study). Def find a plant based nutritionist if you can. Hope you are doing well!
@@Raddiebaddie china study has been debunked as not credible. Read the whole book myself. When you start digging into the sources and the details of the studies, it's just propaganda.
@@mythinktube I wouldn't say reversed really, but my numbers don't ever go high anymore. I stay between 75-110 fasting and around 120 after eating. The recipes really did help out in not spiking my blood sugar up when I first got diagnosed and even now
Sarah, I really love your videos. I have followed you for a while now, and somehow ended up unfollowed for a while, but found my way back. Your videos and recipes have elevated, and I want to commend you on your hard work. Thank you so much! FYI, for those interested… Sofritto (Italian) is garlic, onion, peppers, and tomatoes. Mirepoix (French) is carrot, celery, and onion. Holy trinity (Cajun) is onions, peppers, and celery. Trinity (Indian) is onion, garlic, and chili. Sometimes ginger is added, but that is more than a trinity, and regional/personal preference. As a formally trained cook, this is informational, to help people keep the appropriate flavor profiles, in case they hear those terms, in the future.
Hey Sarah! I’am new with eating vegan ! Plant based! I did keto years ago! Eating eggs and salmon for years! This all sounds so delicious and new for me! I need all the help
Great video! As someone who's trying to incorporate more plant-based meals into my diet, this was really helpful. I love how simple and straightforward these meal prep ideas are, and it's awesome to see that they're high in protein too. I'll definitely be giving some of these a try. Thanks for sharing!🤗
The lentil burgers were almost the same as "Bun Kebab" , a Pakistani street food burger. Though meat is used but it's highly optional ( the street vendors don't use meat anyway) . It's all about spices and Texture. I'd highly recommend.
I was really struggeling to find easy vegan protein rich recipes and therefore i was looking for a chanel that has recipes like that. Glad I found you. To get enough protein with a vegan diet is the most difficult part of the transformation process for me.
Thank you for sharing these. I have some health issues and it’s difficult for me to get enough protein in my diet. These recipes are perfect and I truly appreciate your channel. You’ve helped me in health journey and give me hope in wanting to try to enjoy food again.
Hi sara, made the bolognese lastnight and used chickpea linguini, my husband and I loved did it!!!! Can't believe tofu tasted that good! I will be making the lentil burgers today!
Hi Sarah! I follow many vegan content creators, but I have to say, I really think that you are my favorite. 🥰 I just love your approach to food, with all your fresh wholesome ingredients (but also throwing in some naughtier ingredients like impossible meat here and there). And I just love your laid back easy vibe, and the vibes between you and Eric. You are simply lovely, and I'm always excited to see a new video come out (because I always want to make ALL the recipes!). Thank you for being you, and for sharing your yummy recipes with us! ❤️
Hey Sarah! I’m new wanting to try this new lifestyle on plant food! I eat eggs for years. I did keto years ago. I’m 55 now . I want to eat healthy and get lean! I still have some belly fat. I have a weakness with pizza’ peanut butter! I gave up fried food like chicken! I gave up soda. I eat oatmeal with blueberries and nuts.
I will try that recipe soon for sure! I love using tofu in bolognese but to achieve more meaty texture I always crumble it, add some soy souce and oil and bake it until it gets brown and dry and then I add it to a souce, it has a really convincing texture
I think vegan is the answer. I'm desperate to be healthy. Both of my parents had dementia, so I left work and had to defecate and urinate for a long time on my own. Last year, they both passed away after 3 months. It was stressful. After my parents passed away, all I had was physical and heartache. I got a brain aneurysm and two brain aneurysms on my head. I even had hypothyroidism and suddenly I gained 15kg. Anxiety disorder Panic disorder I'm still experiencing insomnia. It's been a year since my parents died and I'm still in treatment, but I've only started again. I've had the courage to share and communicate, so I started UA-cam, took a walk, and traveled. Now I want to be healthy. I want everyone watching this video to be healthy. When you lose your health, you lose everything.
New sub and new vegan here. I have been so afraid to go vegan because I don't cook and I don't know anything about veggies either! I literally have one pan in my kitchen, no utensils other than a fork, a spoon and a knife, and no idea about any of the spices that you used, but I am taking notes and will definitely be cooking some of your recipes. The three that you showed in this video looked amazing, so I will start with those. Thank you! Hugs ❣❣❣
I would like to mention that regular wheat pasta, bread or whatever is already pretty high in protein in and of itself. Those regular little 16 oz box of wheat pasta has about 64g or about 21g for 1/3 box
Everything looks super good! I'd love to see the macros of each serving, is this something you calculate? Couldn't find it on the recipe website either. Keep it up, you're such a great inspiration!
Hi! All these things look really good! But a quick tip on lentil burgers, dont boil the lentils first. Just put them in water for a few hours then the rest (drain, mix and form patties) - a bit like falafel. That will give more texture to them 👍 😋 Also, if you dont put oil on your pasta it will soak up the flavours from the sauce better.
Room temp water for soaking the lentils? A few hours is......3...4? I'm new to vegan cooking and in search of a lentil or bean burger go -to recipe. Do you have one?
Everything looks soo good! Wish tempeh was more accessible where I live (Helsinki). Not many stores have it and when they do it's expensive, even in asian stores. Maybe some day I can dabble into making it myself. I appreciate your videos a lot for meal inspiration but honestly my highlights are the sweet compliments your partner gives you! Shows his love and appreciation :)
Thanks for sharing these yummy 😋 high protein vegan meals Sarah and debunking the misguided myth that there's no protein in a vegan diet. I am not dying from a protein deficiency. Love 🥰 the video and love 💞❤ Sarah & Eric.
Good Sunday evening Sarah. Those vegan lentil burgers look absolutely healthy and delicious, with just enough the right amount of protein . Thanks so much for providing one of your great recipes. Without a doubt, I'm definitely going to try it. 👍
Very informative and fun to watch. I'd love to have more tempeh or tofu in my diet. How about marinades to prep tofu for stir fry. Also loved your section on herbs and lettuce in water. I heard using the tops and some stem of scallions and leaving some stem will produce shoots. How to grow micro greens would be great to know. Thanks so much for making it fun to watch 🤗
This video just reminded me that before we went vegan I used to make those meatballs ALL THE TIME! I forgot because we’ve been aiming to be WFPB as much as possible but what a lovely throwback to our past life and they’re so easy and delicious. Thank you!!
Great video! I wrote down the spices you used for the tempeh bacon and then went to your blog for the amounts and found that the paprika is missing from your blog. I thought I'd let you know so you can correct that.
We made your roasted tomato soup tonight and sat down to eat. Your video popped right on up as we opened UA-cam. 😂 This was an unexpected surprise and such a great video! All of these recipes looked really good and were definitely going to try them. Thank you for posting great content. :)
Totally appreciate the more vegetable forward approach with a focus on pantry staples. It’s super helpful when doing meal prep for the week so I’m not spending a ton of money on stuff I’ll use once.
Hey Sarah, everything looks so yummy! I'm not Vegan but I only eat meat once or twice a week so I'm a frequent visitor to your channel for inspiration. Keep the recipe coming. One note though, I believe you meant mirepoix and not soffrito to start your bolognese.
Thanks for watching! As for the veggies, Italians call carrots, onion, and celery cooked in olive oil "soffritto." So, same ingredients, different name.
I love lentil burgers! Yummy. I’m going to try this way with my black bean burgers too. I’m celiac so I use crumbled corn chips instead of bread crumbs
Hey Sarah! I’am new with starting my new lifestyle of plant based? I just gave up my love for eggs to my mom. I just bought tofu and bean raps.. organic protein powder! Making smoothies filled with blueberries and blackberries and a banana! I also bought morning star burgers. Thank you so much for sharing your experience ! I need your help.plus how do I Oder at restaurants??
I absolutely love the way you present your recipes! Always very informative yet to-the-point; you really know your stuff. The variety in this video is excellent. Also you and Eric are a breath of fresh air! So dang cute 😊
As someone who is slowly trying to cut the meat out their diet: this video makes vegan food look so amazing. i'm definitely trying 1 recipe a week at least. I'm most excited for the burger. I love making different sauces for burgers so I can see that being a fun thing to experiment with.
Hey I made your meatball recipe tonight for dinner (with some tofu per your recent Insta story) and they were SO good!!! Will be making again for sure… thank you!!
Love your presentation! I'd like to know what kind of pan that is - your non-stick one looks awesome. The one with the white inside is that a porcelain coated on the inside? If you have the name brand and love to know it 😊
I usually use brown lentils with my Bolognaise, but next time I'm going to try it with tofu....and add more onion, which you have done. Excited to try this. ☺☺☺
Another commenter who's Italian says brown lentils is how it's done by vegans in Bologna. Was that just your personal riff or had you heard about that? I'm excited to try the lentil version. But also looking to decrease the carbs so tofu looks like a great option!
I think I first saw brown lentils for bolognese sauce in a local (Australian) health magazine & used it ever since. I only recently started using the 'puy' or 'French' lentils (soaked overnight) in stews/pies/bolognese dishes & find them very 'more-ish' (i.e. more umami). But I generally look out for different tofu uses.☺@@greentara291
@Sarah’s Vegan Kitchen Love the recipes! I use tofu a lot. It’s a staple in my house as well as TVP and soy curls. Again love the recipes you just gained a new sub! 😊
Would be happy to see a counter on the screen in the future for approximation, for e.g. Tofu Bolognese>Cool Font of choice top right of screen> 120G Protein, etc.
Could you add a touch of vegan Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard to the lentil burgers? Back when I ate meat, I learned from America’s Test Kitchen to add those two ingredients to ground turkey to make it taste like ground beef (for burgers and meatloaf). I imagine the Ws/dm would do the same for lentils.
Your cooking videos always get me so hungry! Probably not a good idea to be watching pass midnight lol! Jokes aside I’ve been watching you for many years and I love your content. ❤❤❤
Awesome recipes. I can't eat tomatoes. Is there any way you can offer some tips about the lentil burger and the bolognese recipe being prepared without tomato? The tomatoes provide flavour and a moist consistency to recipes, and it's regrettable I can't eat them! Thanks for any suggestions. .... Oh, and that cookware looks exquisite.🙂
Use smoked tofu instead of firm straight one. It's usually also very firm and adds a nice smokey umami flavour, which goes really well with all kinds of hearty, saucy, stewy dishes.
I love vegan/vegetarian youtube cooks, im not either, but you guy always have great recipes, and i dont eat often so high protein meals are definitely useful for me! Only change I did was lentils instead of tofu, and mmmmm perfect! I normally love garlic but leaving it out was perfect and definitely the right choice!
I always used to soak my TVP in hot water before cooking it but then saw a vegan chef saying he just adds it dry to the sauce because it soaks up the sauce flavours instead of water and since trying it it really makes the TVP extra flavourful 😊
hi, as someome who hates mushrooms, but wants to try that burger, how mushroomy is it? is it more lentil forward? i know ive eaten mushrooms in plant based meats and not noticed. thanks
hi! I forgot the lentil burgers even had mushrooms in them, honestly. you can’t taste them or feel their texture at all, in my opinion. it’s mostly lentily lol
I thought about you yesterday when I bought a huge amount of garlic from the Asian market so I know it pained you not to add garlic. 😂 I’m curious if you think it needed it or did you miss the flavor? The tip about frying the tempeh is great. I love tempeh blt’s but can never get the crispness. Lastly I would love a video featuring ways to get more fruits and vegetables in the diet. Even though it seems that’s what the vegan diet is you’d be surprised how much people heavily rely on faux meats and such as vegans who would love more fruit/veggie heavy recipes. TFS 😊
Your cooking videos always get me so hungry! Probably not a good idea to be watching pass midnight lol! Jokes aside I’ve been watching you for many years and I love your content.
your videos are not too long, not too short, have enough explanations, contain recipes that are simple enough to do on a daily basis, and are overall just perfect :)
Awesome. I would have cooked the bucatini more though, until it sags, very flaccid over the folk (very flaccid). Have you tried sprinkling on a little nutritional yeast flakes at the end? It replaces cheese nicely (just enough to taste, mind).
Once again right on the money with lovely ideas and a great video! Just when I was thinking I need to start incorporating more lentils and whole foods into my life. Love your balance with some faux-meats included but overall whole ingredients! Tnx =)
Hi Sarah, I love the video. Can't wait to try some of these recipes. 😊 I'm not sure if you're aware, or if someone else has already pointed it out. But impossible burgers or mince are sadly tested on animals. I know that beyond is still okay and they don't test on animals.
Your bf is so nice you guys are such a sweet couple so nice to see! Thanks for the burger ideas I should use tempeh more I usually just use block tofu and I never got into black bean burgers i guess I'm a picky eater
I can’t wait to try these burgers. I made a bad batch one time & my favorite vegan restaurant did away with theirs. So now, I’ll re-attempt with confidence. 😊 Thanks!
Just a heads up: I made the meatballs for meal prep for work lunches this week and they are so delicious! It hard to not eat the entire tray of them. They are perfect with rice and steamed veggies (Brocolli and mixed bell peppers to add more veggies). Going on the list of go to lunches!
The next time someone asks you, "wHeRe dO yOu gEt yOuR pRoTeiN??" just direct them to this video 😅
😂❤
Ill direct them to inbetween your legs cuz thats were I get my protein 😊

I'm so impressed with your chopping skills, I had to watch that part twice. I just can never get my veggies diced small.

I made the bolognese and added chopped mushrooms, a dash of cumin, garam masala and smoked paprika. It was delicious !
Tvp is great in bolognese! We use it all the time for anything needing a ground beef or turkey substitute so you are spot on there
Can I ask what you are filming with, and/or a filter for the warmth in the room? All of this is really lovely.

What are the serving sizes, calories, and macronutrients for all these meals?
I will have to try the Tempeh bacon. I have tried carrot bacon and it's tedious and not that great. Thank you for posting
Your cooking videos always get me so hungry! Probably not a good idea to be watching pass midnight lol! Jokes aside I’ve been watching you for many years and I love your content. ❤❤❤
Awesome recipes. I can't eat tomatoes. Is there any way you can offer some tips about the lentil burger and the bolognese recipe being prepared without tomato? The tomatoes provide flavour and a moist consistency to recipes, and it's regrettable I can't eat them! Thanks for any suggestions. .... Oh, and that cookware looks exquisite.🙂
I just made the Tempeh bacon and it’s a hit for sure!!!
Use smoked tofu instead of firm straight one. It's usually also very firm and adds a nice smokey umami flavour, which goes really well with all kinds of hearty, saucy, stewy dishes.
I personally love making bolognese with seitan!! It turns out the best if you ask me💕
I love vegan/vegetarian youtube cooks, im not either, but you guy always have great recipes, and i dont eat often so high protein meals are definitely useful for me! Only change I did was lentils instead of tofu, and mmmmm perfect! I normally love garlic but leaving it out was perfect and definitely the right choice!
I always used to soak my TVP in hot water before cooking it but then saw a vegan chef saying he just adds it dry to the sauce because it soaks up the sauce flavours instead of water and since trying it it really makes the TVP extra flavourful 😊
hi, as someome who hates mushrooms, but wants to try that burger, how mushroomy is it? is it more lentil forward? i know ive eaten mushrooms in plant based meats and not noticed. thanks
hi! I forgot the lentil burgers even had mushrooms in them, honestly. you can’t taste them or feel their texture at all, in my opinion. it’s mostly lentily lol
Wasn't hungry. Am now. Off to cook! Some tasty looking goodies there!!
I thought about you yesterday when I bought a huge amount of garlic from the Asian market so I know it pained you not to add garlic. 😂 I’m curious if you think it needed it or did you miss the flavor? The tip about frying the tempeh is great. I love tempeh blt’s but can never get the crispness. Lastly I would love a video featuring ways to get more fruits and vegetables in the diet. Even though it seems that’s what the vegan diet is you’d be surprised how much people heavily rely on faux meats and such as vegans who would love more fruit/veggie heavy recipes. TFS 😊
Grape nuts cereal is a great bread crumb substitute. They soak up moisture without drying stuff out.

Loved this, always looking for that better vegan burger recipe. Will try.
Aren’t you supposed to prep tempeh before cooking to remove any bitterness? Like soaking or simmering or boiling?
your videos are not too long, not too short, have enough explanations, contain recipes that are simple enough to do on a daily basis, and are overall just perfect :)
“I had to exercise every ounce of self control not to add garlic anyway” Yeah I’m gonna add garlic anyway 😂😂
I want to try out the lentil burger but i really dont like mushrooms. Can i just skip them or use something else for texture? :)
Awesome. I would have cooked the bucatini more though, until it sags, very flaccid over the folk (very flaccid). Have you tried sprinkling on a little nutritional yeast flakes at the end? It replaces cheese nicely (just enough to taste, mind).
I can’t even express how much I enjoy this channel. You inspire me so much and have for the last 5+ years. ❤
Do you think the lentil burgers would freeze well?
Thank you so much for this, i need some good inspiration for high protein meals, that I can implement in my routine.
Once again right on the money with lovely ideas and a great video! Just when I was thinking I need to start incorporating more lentils and whole foods into my life. Love your balance with some faux-meats included but overall whole ingredients! Tnx =)
Hi Sarah, I love the video. Can't wait to try some of these recipes. 😊
I'm not sure if you're aware, or if someone else has already pointed it out. But impossible burgers or mince are sadly tested on animals. I know that beyond is still okay and they don't test on animals.
Thanks. I will definitely be trying some of these!
Can i make tempeh wirhout maple syrup for the sandwich?
I just made the tempeh blt sandwhich! Sooooo good!!!!
Your bf is so nice you guys are such a sweet couple so nice to see! Thanks for the burger ideas I should use tempeh more I usually just use block tofu and I never got into black bean burgers i guess I'm a picky eater
finally someone who priortizes protein as a vegan
those lentil burgers look really nice. definitely going to try those
Made the Bolognese today and it was delicious ❤ though I added garlic 😅
Happy Sunday! Thank you for this video ❤
Thank you for these! I'm trying to get my protein up due to PCOS so this is extremely helpful 💚
I can’t wait to try these burgers. I made a bad batch one time & my favorite vegan restaurant did away with theirs. So now, I’ll re-attempt with confidence. 😊 Thanks!
the pasta looks so good
My wife and I go out on dates and planning a cruise next year! How does someone Oder out or figure out vegan food besides salad??
Wow all of these recipes are really great, we will start trying them this week!
Love your videos! I make thia with Lentils and its soooooo good
Just a heads up: I made the meatballs for meal prep for work lunches this week and they are so delicious! It hard to not eat the entire tray of them. They are perfect with rice and steamed veggies (Brocolli and mixed bell peppers to add more veggies). Going on the list of go to lunches!
