It’s a hearty and balanced meal perfect for those days when you feel low in energy and are looking for a tasty recipe with nutrient-rich ingredients to fuel your day.

What's in it? Fresh oven-baked Brussel sprouts sprinkled with tangy chili and lime sauce and then served with wholegrain rice, Goji berries, and roasted hazelnuts. All topped with a creamy avocado lime and agave dressing. Time to ditch that sorry-looking sandwich and go big!

Deliciousness is not the only thing you are getting here. These roasted Brussel sprouts will infuse your body with so many healthy nutrients, like healthy unsaturated fats, fibres, 100% vegan proteins, and a boatload of vitamin C!

Brussel sprouts are already rich in vitamin C, but we added Goji berries to get even more. Vitamin C is critical to vegan and vegetarian diets, as it helps better absorb the smaller amount of iron in plant-based food. It also helps your body fight free radicals and recover from colds and other bad stuff.

Sounds great? Then let's do it! Follow our easy steps below and have in your in plate in less than 30 minutes.
