Through my research on diet and nutrition, I’ve really come to appreciate the wisdom of eating less animal protein. Not only is it better for your health, but it’s also better for the environment. Enter this flavorful vegan version! It’s one of my lunchtime staples, and it’s got a healthy balance of protein, fiber, and vegetables. And, of course, it’s low-FODMAP, too. It’s an all-round winner.
