Healthifying game day foods allows you to still enjoy your favorites while nourishing yourself with protein, micronutrients, and compassion. This particular version uses a fava bean tofu made by Big Mountain Foods (current obsession tbh) which is SO good and adds 16 grams of protein per serving. Swapping the traditionally used iceburg lettuce for arugula and adding other creative veggies like diced radishes provides even more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

When you can, choose local organic ingredients to keep this meal as health forward and sustainable as possible. Simply use this recipe as a template to create a variety of plant-forward, nutrient-dense versions of your favorite game day dishes while naturally increasing the protein, fiber, micronutrients, and compassion in your daily diet.
