Try these easy, delicious vegan alternatives for meat. These are perfect for busy weeknights. Each recipe contains all of the protein and none of the fat of meat, plus they’re all quick to prepare.
TVP is a great vegan alternative to meat. Not only is TVP fairly cheap, but can be stored at room temperature for a long time, which means it’s always on hand when you need it, and it avoids food waste.
TVP also contains a whopping 15 grams of protein and 0.3 grams of fat per 100 calories. It contains 60% protein and 2% fat which means it is a great source of protein for vegans.
Best of all, TVP has a very neutral taste, just like meat. It absorbs the flavors of the food you pair with it, meaning that it goes well with practically anything.
In addition to all of these benefits, TVP is extremely fast to prepare. You only need to hydrate it for a few minutes to transform it from dry to soft and moist.
