And talk about a nutrient powerhouse! You’re getting fiber and protein from red lentils, B-vitamins from nutritional yeast, and omega-3 fats from ground flax seed.
Add a slice of Spicy Vegetarian “Meat” Loaf to your salad
Don’t like spice? Simply remove the cayenne pepper!
I like to bake two loaves at a time, store one in the refrigerator and freeze the other for a quick meal solution.
