When we get take out from a Thai or Chinese restaurant, one of my favorite appetizers to get is spring rolls! They are usually packed with veggies, which give an incredible crunch and is so satisfying. This is why I’m so excited to share with you a homemade spring roll recipe today! This recipe is just as delicious as any restaurant and even packed with plant-based protein! One of the best parts is the creamy orange almond peanut butter sauce to dip your yummy rolls into!

Have you ever cooked with tofu? What makes it such an amazing plant-based protein is that it takes on whatever flavors you add to it or cook it in! It pairs amazing with veggies making this an incredibly filling, nutritious and complete meal for lunch or dinner!
