eat better, not less

introducing a better way to eat

Healthy and flavorful are not mutually exclusive. Perfectly portioned, plant-based meals made with real ingredients are sustainable: You can maintain a stream of meals that aren't a fad diet, and you waste less, which benefits the planet.
Quinoa-Cashew Porridge

Quinoa-Cashew Porridge

A warming bowl of red quinoa from SIMPLi—a local woman and BIPOC-owned business—spiced with cinnamon and cardamom. It's topped with fresh fruit and toasted coconut.
Savory Polenta Bowl

Savory Polenta Bowl

This southwestern-inspired bowl of "grits" includes black beans, roasted tomatoes, poblano peppers, and red peppers. We tuck in maple-balsamic carrots for extra vitamins.
Mint Porridge

Mint Porridge

We start with a base of probiotic-rich coconut yogurt, and add in gluten-free rolled oats—which help regulate blood sugar—and finish it off with shredded fresh mint and chopped berries.
Jasmine Chia Pudding

Jasmine Chia Pudding

A refreshing take on a traditional chia pudding, this version uses jasmine tea to add a wonderful aroma and flavor. It gets a light sweetness from maple syrup and a topping of fresh berries.
Panang Curry With Veggies

Panang Curry With Veggies

We put our spin on everyone's favorite Thai curry. Our rice noodles are tossed in a sauce of coconut milk, red curry paste, lime juice, and ginger. The dish includes roasted broccoli and peppers for some essential vitamins and minerals, and crushed peanuts for a little crunch.
Charred Cabbage Salad

Charred Cabbage Salad

A hearty mix of vitamin-rich red cabbage and plantains comes with rice that's been spiked with chili, lime, and ginger. Our scratch-made vegan blue cheese dressing—with tahini, lemon juice, and maple syrup—makes for a cooling finish.
Chopped Kale and Chickpea Salad

Chopped Kale and Chickpea Salad

One of V+B's very first recipes, this customer favorite starts with a base of kale and is topped with a creamy salad of chickpeas and dried cranberries. A side of sliced cucumbers, juicy cherry tomatoes, and pickled red onions makes a dish that keeps on giving.
Cacio e Pepe Spring Salad

Cacio e Pepe Spring Salad

We gave a classic Italian dish a green spring glow up with arugula, zucchini, green peas, asparagus, and green grapes, along with some pumpkin and sunflower seeds for crunch. It's finished with a lemony, "cheesy" dressing, and of course lots of black pepper.
Summer Corn Chowder + Tomatoes

Summer Corn Chowder + Tomatoes

Is there a better way to celebrate summer than with sweet corn and juicy tomatoes? It's all here in this chowder, along with russet potatoes, fennel, fresno chili peppers, and a touch of coconut milk for that smooth feel. We top each dish with fresh radish and scallions.
Burmese Khow Suey

Burmese Khow Suey

This comforting bowl of rice noodles and veggies is our take on an aromatic Burmese dinner. Our version includes a curry made of coconut milk, ginger, garlic, and aleppo pepper flakes. We include roasted broccoli, cauliflower, yellow squash, and green beans for a healthy upgrade.
Winter Squash with Kale Pesto

Winter Squash with Kale Pesto

Red and white quinoa is the base for this winter staple that highlights the season's best produce: butternut and kabocha squash. We put the roasted veggies on a bed of red and white quinoa, and top it with a kale-basil pesto, walnuts, and sunflower seeds.
Cuban Ropa Vieja

Cuban Ropa Vieja

Our version of this famous Cuban dish features long-cooked beans in a stewed tomato broth that's spiced with garlic, paprika, oregano, cumin, and cayenne. We pair that hearty mix with roasted plantains, rice, and a cooling shower of fresh cilantro.
