I never liked the “sloppy” part of Sloppy Joe’s. Do you just let nature take it’s course and let things fall on a plate?

Brown rice or white? Any seasonings? Standard rice cooker or a crock pot? Do you put the lentils and rice in at the same time, then mix in the spinach towards the end?

According to cronometer.com 1 cup ( 198g ) of cooked lentils will give you 18g of protein, 230 calories.

It is a subjective thing. If you try a substitute, please let us know if it tastes good. 🙂

I’ve made her peanut sauce and used it on cheap noodles. It was better than any peanut sauce I could buy and it was easy to make.

Soy, Legumes, and Wheat gluten are it for vegan food rich in protein that are not calorie bombs ( nuts, seeds ). Tofu ( Lidl, Extra Firm ) – 7oz – 24g protein 206 calories – 83 cents Tempeh ( Trader Joes ) – 4oz – 24g protein, 218 calories – $1.10 TVP ( many cheap brands ) – 100grams – 50g protien, 330 calories – $1 – $1.80 Seitan (wheat gluten ) – 200grams – 44g protein, 244 calories – $1.50 – $5.00 depending on brand, and if you make it yourself ( Vital Wheat Gluten mix ). I got the three examples above by searching for them with a free cronometer.com account – a food diary site that tells you how much nutrition you getting when you enter what you ate that day. You can look up various legumes to plan meals ( adding carbs, vegetables ). Most are going to be cheap.

I usually nuke it over cubed tofu, then 420 plus the tofu is too much.
