    Are you new to the vegan lifestyle and are you looking for vegan recipes for beginners? Then this is the right place for you! We’ve got you covered with easy vegan recipes for the whole family. 

    a collage of four easy vegan recipes for beginners

    Transitioning to a vegan lifestyle can be a bit intimidating at first. I still vividly remember when I became vegan back in 2013. So many new ingredients and a new way of cooking!

    I’ve got a whole category for you on the blog that talks about going vegan. You will find interesting facts about veganism, easy vegan recipes to start your vegan journey, and all you need to know about how to go vegan. So check it out! 

    In this post, I’ve covered you with 10 easy vegan recipes for beginners that everyone can make. 

    For those of you who miss meat, try my vegan meatballs and my vegan cauliflower wings. And I’ve also included a recipe for vegan cream cheese that tastes so much like regular cream cheese. And of course vegan cookies and vegan pasta recipes. 

    So let’s get started! 

    1. Spaghetti with Vegan Meatballs

    These vegan meatballs are the perfect comfort food. They’re really easy to make, so delicious, and incredibly healthy! Serve them with spaghetti for a quick and easy dinner. 

    2. One Pot Mexican Quinoa

    This one pan Mexican quinoa with black beans and corn is super easy to make, packed with protein, and so comforting! It’s the perfect dinner recipe for busy days! I love eating it with fresh parsley and avocado.

    3. One Pot Lemon Spaghetti with Spinach

    These lemon spaghetti with spinach are the perfect recipe for busy weeknights! It’s a one pot meal, super delicious, comforting, and 100 % vegan! And it’s so creamy and has a deep lemon flavor. 

    4. Vegan Cream Cheese

    8.  Vegan Chickpea Salad

    This vegan chickpea salad with kidney beans, tomatoes, and cucumber is one of my favorite salads! It’s the perfect addition to BBQs and potlucks, it’s super healthy, and very easy to make. 10 minutes is all it takes!
