15 Minute High Protein Black Bean Noodle Vegetable Lo Mein - a quick, easy, nutritious and delicious dish that is ready in a snap!
A few days ago, a commercial came on for something like a slow cooker or an Instapot (wasn't really paying attention), where they showed a couple in the kitchen, and the woman saying something like "Dinner time is the worst time of my life!". Not my day, not my week, MY LIFE. Wow, really? Whoever was in charge of writing that script is either the luckiest person in the world, or has been living under a rock for the last 15 years. With everything going in the world, and the struggles I'm sure everyone of us faces everyday, if dinner is the worst, kudos to you. I'm certainly envious.
I have good news for you, Mrs. Slow Cooker. Imma fix your problem. Better yet, you won't even have to buy any expensive kitchen gadgets for it to be fixed.
How about having a healthy, balanced meal done in 15 minutes? Would that make the worst time of your life a little better? I sure hope so....
Let's start with Explore Cuisine Black Bean Spaghetti:
- Vegan and gluten free
- 25 grams of plant based protein
- 12 grams of fiber
- ↓
While the pasta cooks, saute red bell peppers, snap peas and scallions (or any veggies you have in your fridge for that matter)
↓
Drain the pasta, toss it with the veggies, add corn, shredded carrots and store bought teriyaki sauce
↓
Boom, worst time of your life, over. A filling, nutritious dinner in one bowl, ready in 15 minutes.
And you can do the same with any of Explore's high protein pastas, adding your favorite veggies and sauces. You can use sundried tomatoes, basil, eggplant, pine nuts and tomato sauce; purple cabbage, peas, coconut milk and a touch of curry powder; asparagus, grape tomatoes, mushrooms and zucchini with olive oil, garlic and a touch on lemon... The combinations are endless!
Enjoy 🙂
