Substitutions for a vegan version

Instead of: animal protein from the recipe

Use: tempeh, smoked tofu or cooked legumes in the same quantity

Why: Animal protein provides amino acids and umami; tempeh or legumes cover protein and satiety.

Tip: Marinate tempeh for 10 minutes with soy sauce and garlic before sautéing for a more intense flavor.

Other variations

Lighter version: reduce oil to 1 tablespoon and increase greens in Green Matcha Banana Spinach Smoothie.
