Low-Calorie Vegan Meals for Weight Loss

As someone who is actively trying to lose weight, I have recently been scouring the internet for healthy, low-calorie vegan recipes to make when I’m not busy exercising or saving health posts on Pinterest. While vegan diets are typically healthier than those that include meat or other animal products, there is still a lot of high-calorie, high-fat, highly processed junk food that is vegan friendly. On my weight loss journey, I have cut out nearly all processed junk food (with the occasional slip up because I am weak on my period) and am determined to maintain a healthy diet. Weight loss has never come easy for me, and it has only gotten harder with added health problems that slow down my metabolism and medicines that cause weight gain. Though I believe everyone is valid no matter their weight, I am not personally happy in my body; I feel sluggish and heavy and just plain unhealthy. So, if you are looking to lose weight like me, diet is a good place to start. Therefore, without further ado, here are some low-calorie, easy to make vegan recipes that can aid you on your weight loss journey:

Healthy Vegan Breakfast Cookies from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken (203 kcal)

Tofu Scramble: Breakfast of (Vegan) Champions from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken (175 kcal)

Slow Cooker Italian Chickpeas {Vegan} from Cookin Canuck (187.8 kcal)

Healthy Vegan Bean Burritos from Wallflower Kitchen (342 kcal)

Healthy Basil Pesto from Elephantastic Vegan (122 kcal)

Peanut Noodle Salad . Is there anything better than noodles? I’ll take them in any form: Italian pasta, Asian noodles, Indo-Chinese noodles, macaroni and cheese (vegan, of course), and the list goes on and on. These are all hot and wonderful but which do you choose on a blistering hot, summer day in Atlanta? None. You go with this peanut noodle salad because it’s supposed to be cold and that’s what we love. But don’t get me wrong; just because we want it cold doesn’t mean we don’t want it spicy. I’ve packed this full of flavor and spice with sriracha, red chili flakes, and black pepper. And let’s not forget the delicious medley of fresh veggies and crushed peanuts that add that perfect crunch to this dish. What about the fresh squeeze of lime? Is there anything more refreshing than some cold citrus on a hot day? So many reasons to make this meal immediately! So what are you waiting for? Go on! Go make a vegan lunch that’ll keep you coming back for more!

Cauliflower and Tofu Tikka Masala

Marrying into an Indian family 20 years ago, Indian cuisine has become something I have grown to love over time. Having been born into an Italian family my palate was very accustomed to Mediterranean cuisine, and adjusting to new flavours took some time.Now I must say that Indian cuisine is on the top of my list. I love it! And especially fortunate that my mother-in-law had was the chef in her own Indian restaurants, so I’ve had some incredible traditional recipes passed down.

I’m excited to introduce you to a dish that’s exceptionally close to my heart: Tofu Cauliflower Tikka Masala. Now, it’s important to note that this isn’t your typical, traditional recipe. We’ve given it a unique twist to make it vegan and healthier than the traditional which often boasts cream as a main ingredient.

Our flavour is an ensemble of classic Indian spices that you probably already have in your kitchen, and a special spice called ‘masala,’ a blend readily available in Indian grocery stores. This medley of spices brings depth to our dish.

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 30 minutes

Set time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 250 grams cauliflower florets

•250 grams firm tofu, cubed

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 brown onion, diced

• 3 cloves garlic, crushed

• 4cm Knob ginger, grated

• 1 can tomato pulp or 400 grams

• 1 cup cashew milk (blend ½ cup soaked raw cashews, one cup water and half teaspoon salt)

• 1 tablespoon garam masala

• 1 ½ teaspoons turmeric powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika powder

• 1 ½ teaspoon coriander powder

• 1 teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon chili (optional)

• 1 cup frozen peas

Method

Mix all dry spices together to create the masala mix. Using half of your spice mix, top the cubed tofu and cauliflower florets and one tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well and bake in oven at 180 degrees for approximately 20 minutes

In a saucepan, heat one tablespoon olive oil and sauté diced onion for two minutes or until translucent. Then add garlic and ginger and sauté another couple of minutes.

Turn the heat down, add the spices crushed garlic, grated ginger, fresh chili (optional), garam masala, turmeric, cumin, coriander powder, and paprika powder and fry off about a minute or until fragrant.

Add 1 can of tomato and simmer for 10 minutes. Using a stick blend, blend until all smooth.

Make the cashew milk and let simmer for another 5 minutes. To make the cashew cream blend together the raw cashews, water and salt until smooth and creamy. Keep going until you remove all cashew lumps. To get a smooth cashew milk soak the cashew nuts for two hours or boil for about 15 minutes.

The final step is to add the roasted cauliflower, frozen peas and tofu and simmer another 5 minutes.

If the mixture appears to thick add a small amount of hot water to create desired consistency.

Serve with steamed Basmati rice or roti bread

Equipment you Need

Baking tray

Large saucepan

Bowl

Blender or Food processor

Wooden spoon

Let’s talk about the wholesome benefits of this dish.

The humble cauliflower, a versatile veggie packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber. It’s loaded with vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate. Plus, it has antioxidants to keep your cells healthy. We also have tofu as our plant-based protein which brings iron, calcium, and magnesium to the table. It’s a heart-healthy choice that also burns bad cholesterol. Another main ingredient is cashew nuts: These nuts are good for your heart too. They are a healthy fat and provide a dose of copper, which keeps your blood vessels in shape.

By choosing this Cauliflower and Tofu Tikka Masala, you’re treating your taste buds while giving your body a host of nutrients. It’s a delightful step toward embracing a plant-based lifestyle, and I hope you enjoy every bite.

Let’s start by making a masala mix. Mix all the dry spices together. Take half of the spice mix and sprinkle it over your tofu cubes and cauliflower, then drizzle the olive oil. Give it a good mix and bake in the oven.

Then in a saucepan, heat up another tablespoon of olive oil and toss in your chopped onion. Sautee for a bit then toss in the garlic and ginger and cook for a couple more minutes. Turn the heat, add your spices, and let them toast until they fill the kitchen with their aroma. Pour in your canned tomato and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Using a stick blender, give it a good whizz until it’s silky smooth.

Now it’s time to create the cashew cream magic. Make your cashew milk by blending those soaked raw cashews with water and a pinch of salt. Keep blending until it’s as smooth as a milkshake. Then add it to you tomato sauce. The last part. Add the roasted cauliflower, frozen peas, and tofu to the tomato mix. Let it all simmer together for about 5 minutes until all the flavours are combined

Serve up this yummy dish with some steamed Basmati rice or warm roti bread.
