Fall Plant-Based Recipe Round Up!
We’ve Rounded Up All Of Our Favourite Plant You Fall Recipes Just for You – Perfect for Thanksgiving or everyday!
Does Fall EXCITE you? The leaves changing colour, cosy sweaters, brisk weekend hikes and let’s not forget everything pumpkin spice! We have to say Fall is one of our favourite seasons.
We love that in fall with the season change, what we eat usually changes too. This change allows us to get a bit more creative in the kitchen, try out some seasonal produce and enjoy a few more lattes than usual. We decided to round up our 6 favourite plant-based Fall recipes from the Plant Ahead Meal Plan and blog, that are perfect for every day or your Thanksgiving dinner! These plant-based recipes are made to be simple, save your time in the kitchen and have you with a few extra bucks in your pocket! (To spend on a vegan pumpkin spice latte, of course).
If you’re new here and are interested in transitioning to a whole food plant-based diet, this is an ideal place to start. These recipes are classic autumn favourites but made with only plant-based ingredients. You won’t ever have to worry about missing out on your favourites when making the switch because you can alter just about any recipe to fit your plant-based diet!
Now let’s get cookin’.
