High Protein Based Lasagna

Being plant based does not mean you have to give up on your favorite foods. You just have to be a little more creative. Here is a delicious and nutritious veggie lasagna that can help you stay on your macros and satisfy your taste buds. This recipe is simple and can be easily customized based on your preferences or availability of ingredients. Pick your favorite lasagna sheets because it will be the familiar backbone of the dish. The blended tofu can mimic that creamy ricotta texture and provide you with lots of protein. The nutritional yeast can give that cheesy taste and your dose of Vitamin B12. The blend vegetables (broccoli, spinach, green onion) will balance out the flavor of the decadent white sauce and hide a full serving of your greens.
