Do you have any recipes you can share? I'm vegan, but I think I'm not eating a balanced diet

Learn how to cook tofu.

Try pressing it before cooking.

Try freezing it before cooking.

Try extra firm

Try silken

Try frying,

Try baking,

Try grilling.

Not everyone likes it the same way. But the beauty of it is: there’s no “wrong way” to do it.

Personally, I press the excess water out, rip it into chunks, little olive oil, little corn starch, and air fry it for 15 mins. Drown it in Buffalo sauce, wrap it up in a tortilla with lettuce tomato and pickle… my god.

I like quorn a lot for everything that i used chicken for. There are different brands, it's just the one i like the most. Some of it is vegetarian, some vegan as far as i know, but i have never seen the vegeterian ones. Beyond burgers are pretty good, there are a lot of different brands now, they vary in taste a bit. I really like beans a lot, especially red beans, and i usually just mix them in, but there are some great recipes around them, for me it's more like a lazy meal and i like them enough.
Chickpea i just blend with salt and pretty much whatever i feel like and use it as a spread. My favourite is chickpea, parsley, garlic, salt and olive oil. I also mix in olives or curry depending on what i feel like.
I really like ratatouille, you can make an easy trowitallinapanandcook it version or the tedious more presentable one that is way worth making in my opinion.
I'm not the biggest fan of tofu, because i'm not a fan of the consistency, but i sometimes throw it in a salad after i cooked it with some ginger.
Fake chicken nuggets and fake fishsticks are really good, at least the one they sell over here, although, i don't actually know how healthy they are.
Pea soup is one of my favourite things and it's also probably the easiest. For a base it's just peas, shallots, garlic and broth. For some extra zing, i kick in a bunch of parsley olive oil and lemon juice.
