Nutritious and Delicious Vegan Recipes you'll love

You might believe that vegans can only eat salads, or that a plant-based diet is protein deficient. Well, you’d be wrong on both accounts!

Vegans can still have delicious meals without meat, fish, and other animal products. And thanks to incredible vegan chefs out there, the more restrictive side of plant-based eating is booming right now. From sweet treats to savory main courses, here are some of the best vegan recipes that you need in your life ASAP.

My daily meal plan

5H00 - 750ml water followed by a cup of dark roast coffee without milk or sugar.

6H00 - Breakfast.
I prefer to have my main meal in the morning. This may include ingredients packed with fiber and protein such as beans, lentils, soy, pasta, etc.

09H00 - Protein shake 20g
11H00 - Light snack
13H00 - medium meal

16H00 - Protein shake 20g
I take my shake at 16H00 because I start my workout session at 16H30. This gives my body enough time to absorb the protein before my workout.

From 16H00 till the next morning at 05H00, I only drink water and a cup or two of my favorite tea. This gives my body enough time to regenerate and absorb what I have consumed the day before. Giving me a proper restart.

Breakfast Recipes

You might be surprised to know that breakfast could be the healthiest meal of the day. Many people skip breakfast without even realizing it, which is why it’s so important to make it a priority.

Coming up with a healthy vegan breakfast can be a bit of a challenge, but don’t worry, there are a few tricks to help you out. Think of breakfast as a light meal that is better consumed in the morning rather than in the middle of the day.

For example, a bowl of oatmeal or a smoothie is a great way to start your day. You can also try making a vegan protein-packed smoothie for a healthy boost.

Pancakes
• Ingredients
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons neutral oil
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter (alternative butter for nut free)
1 ¼ cup non-dairy milk (oat milk or almond milk)

• Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a liquid measuring cup, mix together oil and peanut butter, then add it to the batter along with the milk. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until a smooth batter is created.

Lightly coat a pan with coconut oil, and then wipe off extra grease.
Heat the pan over low heat, then pour the batter into small circles, and cook until the bubbles pop on top and the bottoms are golden.
Flip the pancakes, and cook until done.

Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary.
Afterward, keep the cooked pancakes warm by placing them underneath an inverted bowl.
Serve the pancakes immediately with maple syrup or your preferred syrup.

Desserts

Sugar is bad for your health no matter what diet you follow, but vegan desserts are much better for you than their animal-based counterparts.

With that said, there are still plenty of treats you can have as a vegan. You don’t have to give up on your favorite sweets.
