If you’ve made the decision towards become vegan or just eating healthier in general, these 145 vegan recipes are for you. One day, I too will become a full vegan. Until then, I have to make the transition slowly, step-by-step. Honestly speaking, it’s not the easiest resolution. Especially if you cook with cheese or meat for your family almost on a daily basis. However, I am optimistic and hopeful that I too can live a healthier lifestyle and go vegan with these 145 vegan recipes.
Top 145 vegan recipes for vegans and everyone who loves good food
I have compiled this collection of 145 vegan recipes. This way, my lovely readers can treat this post as a vegan cookbook for whenever they feel inspired to eat vegan. This post includes recipes from my previous posts such as 32 vegan starter recipes, 41 vegan side dish recipes and 34 vegan main course recipes. It also includes much more, such as vegan dips, desserts and drinks. I hope that you all enjoyed trying some new vegan recipes with me this month and I look forward to sharing even more recipes with you in the future.
