HIGH-PROTEIN PINK PASTA

This pasta is the ultimate lazy girl meal prep. It took me less than 15 minutes to put it together; it’s so easy and a delicious way to add more beets to your diet. We used silken tofu to make it super creamy and higher in protein, bringing this meal to 36g per serving. Combined with whole-grain pasta and some greens, it’s a great balanced meal to promote more plant diversity in your day. 🌈 Why would you want to add more beetroot to your plate? Beets are rich in natural chemicals called nitrates. Through a chain reaction, your body changes nitrates into nitric oxide, which helps with blood flow and blood pressure. They also contain betalains. Betalains are phytonutrients found in plants that give beets their bright red colour. They have also been shown to provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits - making this pasta one to enjoy on a regular basis!
