This smoky lentil sloppy joes packs in the plant-based protein and demands napkins

Fitness pro and author Robin Arzón has a vegan lentil sloppy joes recipe that tastes hearty and smoky, without a sugary ketchup vibe. It comes from her cookbook “Eat to Hustle.” And it's in a chapter that reworks road-trip favorites into healthier, protein-rich meals. For this sloppy joes, you first sauté onion, green pepper and garlic in avocado oil. Then add tomato sauce, coconut sugar, vegan Worcestershire and spices. Stir in some cooked lentils and simmer until thick. Toast high-protein buns in a warm oven. Pile on the filling and serve hot. Napkins help.
