While not everyone is ready to take the leap to becoming fully vegan, more and more people are partaking in Meatless Monday. Small steps like giving up meat for even just one day a week add up over time, and it’s great to see so many people going meat-free (and I’m sure the animals think so too!). Meatless Monday typically consists of vegetarian recipes, but all the dishes listed here are completely vegan. Here are some yummy recipes that will guarantee that even the biggest meat lover will have the perfect Meatless Monday:
Breakfast – Vegan Toast Dipping Sauce
If there’s one breakfast I remember eating as a child, it’s egg and toast. Since becoming vegan, eggs are something that I miss massively as there aren’t really too many vegan substitutes available. Do you also miss your mornings being loaded with egg and toast, dippy egg, egg and soldiers, or whatever you may call it? Start your Meatless Monday off the right way and try this Vegan Toast Dipping Sauce by It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken.
Lunch – Mini Vegan Onigiri
Have you ever seen a more photogenic lunch?! After a recent trip to Tokyo, I wanted to include a Japanese recipe, and Monbento’s Mini Vegan Onigiri is the perfect dish to represent both Japan’s healthy diet and its kawaii culture.
Dinner – Vegan Buddha Bowl Three Ways
Vegans can sometimes be limited with what they can eat while living in a meat-eating world. Buddha bowls allow you the freedom to experiment and incorporate whatever you want into your meal! If you’re not feeling particularly imaginative, The Minimalist Vegan has done the hard work for you. Check out their easy Vegan Buddha Bowl Three Ways recipe.
Dessert – No-Bake Vegan Strawberry Shortcake Pies
Putting together this post, I was certain that I would choose a chocolate based treat for dessert. But then I saw these bite-size No-Bake Vegan Strawberry Shortcake Pies from Food Network. I just knew they were going to be the ideal addition to your perfect Meatless Monday.
Snack – Vegan Watermelon Pizza
I am in LOVE with this recipe! This Vegan Watermelon Pizza by Choosing Chia is so cute and creative. It’s also a great way to get fruit into your diet while brightening up your day.
Drink – Raw Vegan Chocolate Shake
I love a delicious chocolate recipe so couldn’t resist including this Raw Vegan Chocolate Shake by Carrots and Flowers. Prep time is only 5 minutes so you can quickly get your chocolate fix.
