Survive Pre-Christmas With Productivity Meals

So I've been posting a lot about Shinysht lately, but I haven't forgotten how I wanted to get back on track and post regularly about all the things that get me motivated in life. As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm out to help you incorporate veganism in your current diet.

Life is getting extra hectic with Christmas on its way, but you don't need to make compromises to your healthy diet. Actually, now is the time more than ever to eat proper food and boost your energy.

Here's a simple yet very flavourful recipe that I call Multiple Vegetables and Bean Over Coucous (yeah.) It's packed with protein and will give you the energy you need to be productive during the say.



    Ingredients
  • 1 large sweet potato (that I choose not to peel)
  • 1 large yellow, orange or red bell pepper
  • 1 small white onion
  • 1 540ml can of mixed beans
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce (best thing ever)
  • Cumin
  • Crushed Red peppers
  • Couscous


1. Preheat the oven to 425C
2.Dice your vegetables and place them raw on a baking tray
3.Poor olive oil onto the vegetables and toss around until coated
4. Add cumin and crushed red peppers to taste
5. Pop this in the oven for 30 mintutes: toss after 10 minutes. After another 10, add the beans and toss and turn the heat down to 350C. Leave for the remaining 10 minutes.
6. Prepare the couscous -What's great about the recipe is that you can prepare the portions of couscous as you need them and store the extra vegetable bean topping in the refrigerator
7. Take the veggies out and add the hoisin sauce
8. Pour the veggie/bean mix over the prepared couscous and voilà!

Hope this saves some of your meals from turning into the horrifying frozen diner supper.
