Eating lean or trying to get a healthy snack doesn’t have to be a challenge. This vegan rainbow roll can be your go-to recipe in those short-times, pre-workout, quick lunch, or even on-the-go snack. Best of yet, it’s so easy to fix with virtually no cooking time and fully customizable.
What’s make this recipe so great is that almost all ingredients used are fresh and natural vegetables, starch-free, and low carb. The only starchy thing in these vegan spring rolls would be the wrapper, which is rice paper; but if you’re on a certain diet, feel free to replace with soy wrapping papers. Those wrappers look great too, in fact.
For the filling, you can go all the way veggies, fruity or mix-n-match in between. As long as they’re fresh, they’ll be good for sure. Just for variant in this recipe, I chose bell pepper, radish, lettuce carrot, etc. Anything would work, just sub your favorite in and watch as the flavor variate.
Now if you are not on any diet or eating control at all and want more carb to fill that empty stomach, just add some boiled vermicelli or noodles to convert these back to its regular version.
For the dipping sauce, I just go bare with peanut butter, but really any type of nut butter would do. Just adjust so that it taste a balance between sour-salty and sweetness. If you like some spice, add chili or dash of ground pepper.
These once rolled should be consumed quickly to enjoy the full freshness. Otherwise, make sure to roll and wrap each roll individually so that the moisture doesn’t slip out or precipitate from one to another.
