Build a Balanced Vegetarian Plate

Combine legumes, soy foods, and dairy or fortified alternatives to hit reliable protein targets. Think lentils with quinoa, tofu stir-fries, Greek yogurt parfaits, and edamame snacks. Share your favorite protein-packed vegetarian combo in the comments and inspire someone’s next balanced plate.

Whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables supply slow-digesting carbohydrates and gut-loving fiber. A bowl of oats with berries powers the morning; a brown rice and chickpea bowl carries you through the afternoon. Tell us what high-fiber lunch keeps you focused without a crash.
