Whether you're new to plant-based eating or just want a quick weekday meal, there's no need to overcomplicate. Vegan meals don't need to involve hours of prep work or strange ingredients to be delicious and filling. Here's a list of some of my favorite Lazy Vegan Recipes.
One of the most frequently asked questions I get from both new and non-vegans who want to eat more plant-based, is how to make easy vegan meals that don't involve costly meat replacements or strange ingredients. Especially now that many of us are doing more cooking from home, having some ideas for Lazy Vegan Recipes made with normal pantry items seems like a good idea.
By the way, if you're new to eating vegan meals, then be sure to check out theVegan Starter KitbyNutriciously. It's one of the most comprehensive vegan guides I've found and contains everything you need to go plant-based and maintain a vegan lifestyle.
Easy Vegetarian Recipes
Below I have compiled a brief list of super-easy vegan meals, most of which can be prepared in less than 30 minutes! Some in less than 5 minutes. Warning: these are not fancy meals! But they are tasty, affordable, vegan, and can be made from ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. So without further ado, let's start off with the most important meal of the day. . .
Ah, breakfast! The most important meal of the day, as they used to say. And there is some truth to it. But one thing I love about mornings is how fresh and new everything feels. Starting the day off on a healthy and filling note is such a simple way to set the tone for the rest of the day. But most of us don't want to spend a lot of time making breakfast, thankfully there are so many plant-based options that we can either prep ahead of time or throw together in minutes. Here are some of my favorites!
If you're missing the savory goodness of a non-vegan breakfast, then might I recommend avocado toast? Here's my super lazy tip for people who don't like extra dishes. Just cut your avocado in half, remove the pit, use a butter knife to cube the avocado right in the shell, and then squeeze out the cubes directly onto your toast. Top with Vegan Parmesan and diced tomatoes. Yum!!
Best Vegan Recipes
This is probably the most vegan meal of all time, and yet, so many non-vegans enjoy it! What I love about oatmeal, besides how warm and comforting it is, is how many ways you can serve and prepare it. On the stove, in the microwave, or even in your Instant Pot! My favorite toppings are Ceylon Cinnamon, ripe pears, and dried cranberries, but you can go wild and make it however you like!
This post is called Lazy Vegan Recipes for a reason! Many kinds of cereal are already vegan, so just check for any dairy in the ingredients first. (Also, I recently learned that some cereals contain vitamin D3, which is technically not vegan. so keep an eye out for that.)
You might also have to test out different types of plant milk before you find the one that suits you best, but cereal has to be the easiest way I can think of to easily
Vegan Dinner Recipes In 30 Minutes
I don't often buy cereal due to the high sugar content, so if you want a super easy and super healthy alternative to cereal, try making your own muesli. You just need rolled oats as your base, and the rest can be made with ingredients you already have in your pantry.
I think a lot of new vegans are surprised to learn that you can make delicious vegan pancakes, waffles, or even crepes without eggs or cow milk. And you won't even taste the difference! Kind of makes you wonder why there are eggs in those recipes in the first place. I'm partial to this pancake recipe because it's quick, tasty, and requires no special ingredients.
Smoothies are such a simple way to make sure you're hitting your fruit and veggie counts for the day. I always use frozen fruit (usually mixed berries) because it's just so easy and has a much longer shelf life. Add a ripe banana for sweetness and plant milk of choice for a little creaminess. Throw in fresh or frozen greens for the win! Plus you can add all sorts of extras like flaxseed or spirulina. I used to hate the cleanup, but ever since I bought a NutriBullet Proit's easy as pie!
Vegan Meal Planning (plant Based Diet)
Lunch, for me, has always been one of those strange meals. Eat too much, and you won't be hungry for dinner, eat too little and you'll be hangry all afternoon. Plus, most us don't have hours to spend laboring over our weekday lunches.
If you need to pack your weekly lunches, then doing some light meal prepping at the beginning of the week is definitely worth the time. Another great tip is to make extra food each night and pack leftovers the next day. But if you're in the mood for something decidedly lunchy and easy to throw together, here are a few ideas.
For many years before I went vegan or even had it on my radar to do so, I used to eat this salad for lunch every day. And it was so simple: Mixed greens (I like spinach and romaine), black beans, corn kernels, diced tomatoes or bell peppers, diced red onion, half an avocado, cilantro, and olive oil. These days, I usually skip the olive oil in favor of a dollop of soy yogurt, but you can top it off however you like. Delicioso!
Simple Vegan Recipes For Beginners
To veganize you favorite chicken salad recipe, simply substitute a can of rinsed and drained chickpeas for the chicken and vegan aioli or unsweetened yogurt for the mayo. I'm personally partial to this Curry Chickpea Salad Sandwich, but you can change it up to whatever style you like (Waldorf, Classic, Etc). Serve on bread, in a wrap, over lettuce, in lettuce cups, or even with crackers. There are so many delicious ways to eat this easy and delicious lunch classic!
When I was visiting my dad a few summers ago, he admitted that his favorite sandwich of all time is the good old PB&J. When it comes to easy vegan meals this one is a classic! I actually don't like peanut butter (I know, send in the Inquisition), but I love almond butter paired with apricot jam or chia berry jam. Add a few raw veggies or an apple and this is a simple yet hearty lunch for the ages.
Just toast your favorite sandwich bread, spread with hummus, add sliced cucumber and mixed greens or microgreens, and you've got an easy, healthy, and filling vegan sandwich. Pair it with an apple and carrot sticks, and that's lunch!
Easy Vegan Recipes Made With Staple Pantry Ingredients
When you're on the go and don't have time to sit and eat a big salad, a veggie wrap or sandwich is a super quick and super delicious lunch option. Just spread your hummus on the wrap or bread, pile on some lettuce or spinach and pre-chopped veggies (I always keep some in the fridge), and that's it. I also really enjoy the sweet and sour kick of my spicy pickled cabbage.
Whether you need a little something to hold you over until dinner or you just want to relax in the evening with a little something to munch on, snacks are there to save the day. And while it seems like there are always new, healthy vegan snacks appearing on store shelves, there are also some really simple and healthy snacks you can make at home. I've listed a few of my favorites below, but for even more ideas, check out this collection of easy vegan snacks for kids (don't worry, adults will like them, too!)
I frequently eat this as a meal unto itself, but I'll list it here as a snack. To make it easier on yourself, pre-chop the veggies at the beginning of the week and store in the fridge in an airtight container lined with a paper towel or small kitchen towel. This will keep the veggies from getting too damp or soggy. Then when you're hungry just pull out the container!
Vegan Recipes Made Easy + Healthy
You can use store-bought hummus or make your own following this simple oil-free hummus recipe. Store in a mason jar in the fridge for up to a week.
Rice cakes have a really satisfying crunchy texture, and I love topping them with some homemade almond butter and this 2-ingredient berry jam. This is a great afternoon snack for keeping you full until dinner.
Popcorn is so easy to make on the stove or in an air popper! To make it vegan just skip the butter. Instead use olive oil, nutritional yeast, or whatever seasonings you have on hand for flavor.
Vegetarian Recipes That Are Incredibly Easy To Make
Before I get into the actual recipes, here are a few quick dinner ideas. Some of these use store-bought ingredients or frozen vegetables and that's okay! All of these vegan recipes have 5 main ingredients or less and can be prepared in less than 30
