Vegan GLP-1 recipes

32 recipes, each with its nutrition calculated.

Plant protein is spread across more foods than animal protein, so a vegan GLP-1 plate usually combines two sources: tofu with lentils, tempeh with beans. These recipes do the combining and show the result per serving.

Vitamin B12 does not come from plants, which is worth raising with your prescriber if you eat this way most of the time.
