Vegan broccoli casserole: our latest and greatest casserole recipe
Not wishing to brag or anything but we think our vegan broccoli casserole is pretty much the best vegan casserole out there. We were super proud of our vegetarian broccoli casserole, and our green bean casserole… but now we’ve trumped them all with this absolutely smashing vegan version! Aside from being DELICIOUS, we are also proud to say that this is a very healthy broccoli casserole. The nutritional data speaks for itself. 1 serving contains: 23g protein and 16g fibre, only 7g sugar and 15g fat. All in a neat 516 calorie package, the perfect amount of calories for a light but filling meal! With nutritional content like that, this casserole would fit perfectly into one of our FREE vegan meal plans!
What tastes like cheese, but isn’t cheese? Find out now!
What do we replace cream and cheese with in our easy broccoli casserole you ask? The answer is as simple as the dish: nutritional yeast and low fat coconut milk! If you haven’t met nutritional yeast yet, then you’re in for a treat. It’s a vegan’s BEST friend! Nutritional yeast (or nooch, as it is sometimes affectionately known as) is made of deactivated yeast flakes with a cheesy nutty flavour. It is basically pure nutrients with a delicious flavour and next to no calories or fat.
Keen on quinoa
Another key play in this healthy broccoli bake recipe is quinoa (healthy vegetarian quinoa recipes are to die for!). Quinoa is a vegan’s OTHER best friend, as it is a plant-based source of complete protein, among many other health benefits. A broccoli and quinoa casserole like this one wouldn’t be the same without it, as quinoa is what provides the bulk of those 15g protein!
