Veganuary is the perfect way to try out eating a plant based diet or eating less meat for a month. Whether your motivations are health, climate, or animal welfare, I want to try and give you some simple recipes that will help show you that vegan meals can be filling, delicious and easy!
Before you start, I’d recommend checking out my Beginner’s Guide To Veganism blog post for all of my top tips as a vegan of 7+ years. Also sign up to the Veganuary website for helpful resources and visit HappyCow for the best spots for eating out. You’ll find a recipe for each day of the month, so hopefully that will be a good starting place for your month of vegan eating.
