Vegan breakfast recipes
Yellow lentil waffles with fire-spice berry sauce
The benefits of including lentils in your diet are numerous – they are high in protein but low in calories, so they make a great healthy, filling breakfast food.
Chocolate & hazelnut porridge with banana
Who says you can't have chocolate for breakfast? Cacao is a healthy "chocolate" option for vegans – it's supercharged with magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc.
Vegan snacks
Arancini with panko breadcrumbs
This vegan twist on the Italian treat cooks in just ten minutes.
Almond & breadcrumb stuffed peppers
The garlic in this recipe is an excellent source of B6, and it also contains manganese, selenium, and vitamin C.
Vegan soups and stews
Sweet potato, teff & peanut soup
Teff is a really good grain to include in a plant-based diet. It has high levels of vitamins and minerals and five times the iron found in wheat.
Hearty chilli with mixed beans
This classic winter warmer is a great dish for batch-cooking and keeping in the freezer for a speedy dinner.
Vegan dinner recipes
Winter vegetable pie with potato & broad beans
Comfort food can be nutritious – this pie is full of healthy root vegetables and broad beans, which are stuffed with protein and energy-giving folate as well as B vitamins.
Brown rice risotto with red peppers and artichokes
Just 225g (8oz) of brown rice provides heaps of your daily fibre requirement. It's an important grain for a plant-based diet as it's rich in protein, thiamine, calcium, magnesium, fibre, and potassium.
Vegan burgers
Amaranth black bean burgers with avocado cream
Amaranth contains plenty of protein and all the amino acids your body needs. It is also a good source of calcium and has high levels of zinc.
Vegan sides
Lentil & cauliflower tabbouleh
Using cauliflower as a grain is a great way to add nutrition and flavour to a dish. Cauliflower contains almost every vitamin you need, including vitamins C and B6, so is great for a plant-based diet.
