After an intense workout it is important to refuel your body with a nutritious meal, especially on a vegan bodybuilding diet plan, and dinner is one of the best times to refuel.  These are 3 of the best dinner ideas for you to try.

Mushroom Teriyaki

You will need:

350g button mushrooms

1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

2 tbsp honey

2 tbsp soy sauce (for the mushrooms)

1 tsp grated ginger

200 grams soba noodles

2 cloves garlic

½ shallot

150g tenderstem broccoli

1 cup kale

¼ cup soy sauce (for the noodles)

2 tbsp olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

1 tbsp honey

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tsp sriracha

1 tsp grated ginger

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees.  Cut each mushroom in half and whisk together the rice wine vinegar, honey, soy sauce and grated ginger, then combine with the mushrooms and make sure they are all well coated.  Then roast the mushrooms for 30 minutes, tossing half way through.  While the mushrooms are roasting, cook the noodles while frying the garlic and shallot.  Then add the tenderstem broccoli and kale, and cook until tender.  Combine the soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, sesame oil, honey, sriracha, and grated ginger, then put the noodles and combined sauce into the pan with the vegetables.  Serve and top with your roasted mushrooms.

Butternut Squash and Tofu Fajitas

1 small butternut squash, cubed

1 tsp cumin

½ tsp cinnamon

½ onion

2 cloves garlic

1 ½ tbsp taco seasoning

Juice of ½ lime

200g tofu, crumbled

10 tortilla wraps

Combine 2 tbsp olive oil, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper and toss the butternut squash in it until fully coated.  Brown on a skillet for around 15 minutes (until brown).  Fry onion and cook until soft, then add garlic, tofu, seasoning and lime juice, ensuring that the taco seasoning coats everything.  Once everything is cooked through, assemble your fajitas and top with avocado and/or salsa.

Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chilli

1 sweet potato, cubed

1 red onion

4 cloves garlic

2 tbsp chilli powder

½ tsp chipotle pepper

½ tsp cumin

3 ½ cups vegetable stock

1 can black beans

1 can chopped tomatoes

½ cup quinoa (dried)

4 tsp lime juice

Cook the sweet potato and onion until the onion is softened, then add the garlic and seasonings (chilli powder, chipotle pepper and cumin) and ensure that the seasonings are evenly distributed.  Add stock, tomatoes, beans and quinoa, then allow the mixture to boil.  Maintain a gentle simmer for 30-40 minutes to allow the sauce to reduce.  Make sure that the sweet potatoes are soft and quinoa is cooked, then add the lime juice and serve.  You can garnish with vegan cheese, avocado, or fresh chillies.
