Going meatless has never been easier — or more exciting. Trust us, you won’t even miss the meat with these healthy vegetarian recipes that are as craveworthy and satisfying as they are feel-good and nourishing. Though we love a good veggie side dish, these plant-powered meals definitely have *main character energy*, making it possible for you to get a healthy dinner on the table any night of the week (yep, it can be done!).
If you’re expecting a bunch of sad salads that’ll leave you with a rumbling stomach an hour later, you’re in for a serious surprise. From hearty stews and comforting pastas to stunning skillet meals and cheesy veg-topped pizzas, we’re talking big, bold flavors that are sure to please any palate — with nutrient-dense, plant-based proteins like tofu, beans, edamame and quinoa providing plenty of staying power. Some recipes even happen to be vegan-friendly meals without skimping on any of the good stuff (smoky black bean soup or a creamy Alfredo made with cauliflower, anyone?) And if you’re on the hunt for gluten-free recipes and keto recipes, we've got you covered, too.

Light Dinner Ideas (easy + Vegan)
Of all the healthy vegetarian recipes for weight loss that we have gathered over the years, these light vegetarian dinner ideas are some of the tastiest and most versatile we have ever seen!
From warming soups, to exciting salads, it’s a whole smorgasbord of delicious dishes that will fill you up without sending you off to bed bloated.
Don’t get me wrong, a lot of the time I love to wolf down a big hearty dinner like a veggie wellington. But sometimes that’s just not the vibe.
Healthy Vegetarian Recipes
Maybe you’re someone whose appetite is biggest during the day, or maybe you need something light to eat before an evening exercise class. Whatever your reason, sometimes a light dinner is just what the doctor ordered.
What exactly constitutes quick light dinner ideas? For us that means dinners under 500 calories. We wouldn’t go too far under 500, but 300-500 calories of the right food can still be a meal.
These light vegetarian dinner ideas can be great for that! However there’s a caveat: you still have to make sure that you eat enough throughout the day.
Best Vegan Recipes
If you don’t eat enough, you will get tired and hungry and you won’t be able to sustain yourself, let alone achieve your weight loss goals!
That’s why I tend to enjoy light dinners after big lunches – you know, like those great stonking marvellous Sunday roasts, where you’re still full by dinner time, but want something yummy to tide you over through the night. Well, now you know where to come!
That’s because soups and curries are really good at being light but still filling. This is thanks to a lot of their bulk coming from liquid, veggies and legumes.
Our Favourite Vegetarian Recipes For Summer
Vegetables and legumes are fairly usually low in calories and fat, but high in fibre, which means that soups and curries loaded with veggies will be very filling (thank you fibre) and also relatively light (thank you low calorie count).
For example, our delicious vegan tikka masala has 12g fibre per serving and this delicious spiced pumpkin red lentil soup contains a whopping 18g fibre per serving!
Of course, low calorie does not equal healthy. But you can rest assured that you are getting only healthy vegetarian recipes for dinner here (and if that’s what you are after, you should also try our healthy vegetarian dinner ideas)!
