Do you ever have trouble planning out meals and pairing foods? I know I do! In an effort to make that planning a little easier, I put together some of my recipes into a full day eating plan for vegan meals! Whether you’re cooking for one, two or maybe a few more, these meal ideas will help you prepare a winning combination every time.
Get your garlic fix with these vegan pizza rolls. Using only pizza dough, a little olive oil, and some spices, you can make a tasty vegan version of this classic appetizer. The ingredients are simple and easy to put together which leaves plenty of room for experimenting and making the recipe your own! Try melting some vegan cheese on top of the rolls by adding it about half way through the baking time.
Drinking juice is a pleasant way to keep your diet packed with nutrients. If you use organic ingredients, you can also avoid absorbing pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals that are unfortunately often found in many contemporary food products. A juicer processes the fruits and vegetables you need into an easily digestible and tasty form.
If you are in search of a balanced, nutritious dish, then look no further. Comprised of a protein, grain, and greens, Buddha bowls are your answer to a well-rounded meal. Why the name? While this bowl has been called many things, the name “Buddha bowl” refers to the shape. Packed to the brim with some of earth's finest ingredients, the rounded top is compared to that of Buddha's belly. And I assure you it will make your belly just as happy!
