    Vegan Lunch and Dinner Recipes

    These plant-based lunch and dinner recipes are delicious, easy to follow and perfect for your whole family.

    Whenever craving comfort food, then try these tofu meatballs in tomato sauce, which are great for pasta or sub sandwiches, or these vegan chickpea enchiladas that make for the best family-friendly dinner.

    In the summer or whenever craving something lighter, then you should try these nori sushi wraps (easier than making sushi rolls!) or these vegan cucumber cream cheese sandwiches, which we love for picnics.

    And if you enjoy spicy food, then these buffalo cauliflower wraps and these spicy orange cauliflower bites are a must-try!
