Tahini Lentils

"Tahini Lentils" is a vegan dish delivering roughly 20.7g of protein for about 368.4 calories a serving — a solid plant-based option for life on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound.

Ingredients

• 50 g Tahini
• Lemon
• 2 Olive Oil
• 1 Red Onions
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 Yellow Pepper
• 200 g Green Beans
• 1 Courgettes
• 100 g Kale
• 250 g Lentils

Method

1. 1In a jug, mix the tahini with the zest and juice of the lemon and 50ml of cold water to make a runny dressing. Season to taste, then set aside.
2. 2Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the red onion, along with a pinch of salt, and fry for 2 mins until starting to soften and colour. Add the garlic, pepper, green beans and courgette and fry for 5 min, stirring frequently.
3. 3Tip in the kale, lentils and the tahini dressing. Keep the pan on the heat for a couple of mins, stirring everything together until the kale is wilted and it’s all coated in the creamy dressing.

Tips for GLP-1 appetites

• A reasonable everyday option — nothing here should be hard on a GLP-1 stomach.
• Plant protein digests more slowly than meat for some people — eat slowly and stop when satisfied.
• At 20.7g of protein a serving, pair it with a protein-forward side if you're short of your daily target.
