1. Tofu Madras
This Tofu Madras by Henry Firth and Ian Theasby features meaty tofu “steaks” simmered in a spicy tomato and onion broth. There’s a fair whack of heat in this one with two teaspoons of chili powder, which we love, but keep some plant-based yogurt on hand to mellow it out if you prefer your curry on the milder side. And don’t forget the classic squeeze of lemon to finish squeeze in the juice and place the lemon on top!

This tasty power bowl will give you the fuel you need to make it through your day.

Power bowls make great meals because it’s so easy to get variety — if you’re not a fan of rice, you can easily swap it out for a different grain. You can prep these bowls the night before and then bring them along as lunch for work or school.
6. Almond Butter Blondies
