All right all you weight lifting vegans: here is the easiest high protein plant based calorie dish I can’t believe isn’t absolutely everywhere for a fast and filling food adjacent experience.
One box of vegan chickpea pasta Mac and cheese
A bowl of frozen mixed veggies
Olive oil
Balsamic
Italian seasoning
Garlic powder
While boiling the water for your pasta, put the veggies in a bowl and microwave them until steaming hot. Set the veggies aside to cool. Make the pasta in the water per instructions. Once done, I use a slotted spoon to scoop them over on top of the veggies (no colander to clean!) then add the pack of vegan cheese powder, spices to taste, about 2-4 tablespoons of olive oil and about 2-4 teaspoons of balsamic. Stir until combined.
Want more protein? Throw in some cannellini beans, or beyond sausage.
One pot.
One bowl.
One slotted spoon.

Yum
How much did that box of mac and cheese cost? Considering it’s made from chickpeas instead of wheat pasta as well…
PS Never seen the brand, will have to look it up.
Potatoes and pasta?
How is the banza Mac? I have a box that I’m scared to try because boxed vegan Mac and cheese always disappoints me!
Now with flavor!!!
Yummy ! The veggies look rly good in this
Other than USE REAL GARLIC IT’S EASY, it all looks delish.
You can also steam the veggies. Advanced practitioners have a steamer basket to put on top of the pasta pot.
