This homemade alternative to store-bought granola bars, is a good source of protein, fiber and healthy fats. Tasty and so simple to make! A quarter cup of raisins (not included here) also make a yummy addition!

This Asian-inspired pasta dish is so good and so quick to make and can be served hot or cold. Add some tofu for another healthy option.

Tempeh is a cultured soybean product available in natural food stores and many specialty groceries. It is a great source of protein, and for many people, it is easier to digest than other soy products.

This recipe is part of "The SparkPeople Cookbook." Order your copy today! This salad is even better the longer it sits in the fridge, so we love to make a big batch of it and eat it throughout the week.

Served cold or hot, these tangy yet sweet noodles are rich and tasty.

Use as a dip for veggies or a spread on pita and sandwiches.

Serve this creamy rice dish as a side with roast chicken or pork, or increase the serving size for a vegetarian entree.

This "Spinach & Avocado Cannellini Bean Hummus" is what would happen if hummus and guacamole mated!

This quick and easy meal is a hit with kids. If they can't tolerate spicy foods, reduce or omit the sriracha.

Gazpacho is one of my favorite summer meals, and it's no coincidence that it's also one of the easiest to make. It's simply a chilled, usually blended vegetable soup of Spanish origin.
