Made with spiralized beets and carrots and sprinkled with green onions, this Thai stir fry recipe is the perfect Meatless Monday idea. Ironically, as a food blogger I don’t actually enjoy cooking. You’ll notice a lot of my meals are no-bake snacks or quick throw together dinner recipes. I’m a busy mama just like you. Thus, cooking fancy meals tends to hit pretty low on the to-do list. However, I do however prioritize NOURISHING food. It’s not like I despise cooking. In fact, I just dislike the time I need to do it. I run three businesses from home, so a recipe that takes me 40 minutes of prep just makes my eye twitch. Don’t want to read? JUMP to the recipe! Truth be told, I could eat variations of rice or noodle bowls every day. Just cycle through 4-6 veggies, alternate plant and meat protein, chose two to three sauces, and voila!

Yup, there’s no other reason 😛 It’s a plant-based dinner option perfect for Meatless Monday. Likewise, thanks to the quinoa, there’s a decent amount of protein in the vegan stir fry. However, adding in extra protein tastes amazing too. Here’s a great resource if you’re looking for some great vegan protein sources! Alternatively, chicken tastes great too if you’re not vegan.
