    The Most Popular Vegan Recipes

    What do vegans eat? I’ve probably heard this question a million times! To show everyone how delicious and versatile vegan food can be, I teamed up with some fellow food bloggers and put together a huge list of 55 popular vegan recipes. So many delicious vegan recipes in just one place!!

    What Do Vegans Eat

    What do vegans eat? And what does being vegan mean? 

    People who follow a vegan diet avoid any kind of animal products. Like vegetarians, vegans don’t eat meat, but they avoid dairy products and eggs as well. This also includes other kind of animal-derived substances like gelatin. Some people go vegan because of ethical motivation. They don’t want to support factory farming and the horrific animal cruelty that is often involved. Others choose a vegan diet due to health problems or sometimes even environmental reasons. Or of course you can have a combination of all of these reasons.

    What Do Vegans Eat

    So what do vegans eat?

    • fruits and vegetables
    • grains (pasta, bread, rice, couscous, bulgur, millet, quinoa, and so much more) – it’s always best to choose whole grains!
    • legumes, nuts, and seeds (chickpeas, black beans, and other beans are a great source of plant-based proteins! Nuts and nut butters are packed with nutrients. Try flaxseeds, walnuts, or chia seeds for omega 3! )
    • tofu and tempeh 
    • fortified dairy substitutes (almond, oat, or soy milk as well as plant-based yogurt)
    • vegan food products or meat alternatives like vegan burger patties, vegan mayonnaise, vegan ice cream etc.

    You don’t have to win the lottery to afford a vegan diet and you also don’t have to move to a big city! On the contrary, you can find healthy vegan food almost everywhere…

    What Do Vegans Eat

    Just look for fresh vegetables and fruit either in the supermarket or on farmers’ markets. And you can also go crazy in the bulk section of your local grocery store for very little money. Keep an eye out for dried or canned beans like chickpeas, black beans, and lentils. They’re not only super healthy and packed with proteins but they also fill you up.

    It’s true, buying vegan food products like vegan ice cream and vegan cheese can be a bit pricy  in the long run. But I see these products as a special treat that we enjoy once in a while. And you can make a lot of these products at home if you don’t want to spend too much money on them! It’s often not only way healthier but also pretty easy to just make a homemade version.

    To show you how delicious and easy a vegan diet can be, I teamed up with some fellow food bloggers to put together this giant roundup of the most popular vegan recipes! I hope this will help new vegans and vegetarians and I’m sure it will be a great list for those who are already vegan.

    So let’s get started!

      Can sea food such as Salmon, and/or shell fish be eaten on a vegan diet?

        No. Not ever. Vegan means to not consume or wear any animal product
