QUINOA AND LENTILS RECIPE | Vegetarian and Vegan Meal Ideas High in PROTEIN

Looking for tasty vegetarian dinner ideas? We’ve got you covered! These recipes are focused on carbs and calories but are also lower in sodium and saturated fat making them a great choice for a diabetes-friendly diet. Each serving has at least 15 grams of protein and is made with nutritious ingredients like vegetables and herbs as well as complex carbohydrates like whole grains and legumes to help you digest food more slowly and maintain stable blood sugar levels. For a filling and nutritious meal try options like our One-Pot White Bean Spinach & Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo with Lemon & Feta and Cilantro Bean Burgers with Creamy Avocado-Lime Slaw.
