Vegetarian Star

Sheryl Crow has made her vegetarian and vegan fans happy by releasing a cookbook filled with recipes created with the help of her personal chef Chuck, who just so happens to be a vegetarian, that are veg-friendly.

One of the best ways to make a high-protein plant-based meal is to use a soy crumble alternative in place of hamburger.

Chuck calls this his mom’s reconstructed chili recipe, because it replaces beef with faux meat in a recipe he grew up enjoying. Chuck said:

I learned to make this big-and-bold-tasting chili from my mom, who made it often when we were kids. Both my mom’s family and my dad’s made this chili, and so it’s no surprise that my sister, Jackie, and I follow the tradition now that we are grown. Of course, when we were young, Mom and Dad made it with beef, but because I am a vegetarian and Sheryl likes to eat as healthfully as possible, I switched out the beef and substituted ground soy. Guess what? You can hardly tell the difference. Made with soy, the chili tastes just as robust and intense as beef-based chili.

In addition to the soy crumbles, both pinto and chili beans give this soup even more protein, so you won’t be able to tell the difference in hunger pains or muscle loss if this becomes a staple in your diet.

The recipe, posted on Sheryl’s website, is just one of the many veggie recipes in If It Makes You Healthy.
