PEANUT BUTTER VEGETABLE STIR FRY
This protein packed peanut butter vegetable stir fry recipe is one of our all time favourites. Why? Well, first of all it’s super easy and relatively quick to make. Second, it’s full of nutrients and rich in protein which makes it a great post-workout meal. This is our go to meal after a long day at work followed by a late night work-out.
You know those days when you get home late, your brain has not been working for the past few hours and you’re just so hungry that you’re seriously considering chewing off your own arms. So that’s me pretty much every evening and that’s exactly when this food works wonders.
It takes about 30-40 minutes to make but most of that time goes in to cooking the lentils so the active cooking time is actually much shorter. And you get a hearty good meal that will put a smile on your face. I really hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
