Eating plant-based has never been this delicious! Thanks to this collection of top 50 crave-able plant-based, vegan recipes in all categories, including appetizers, salads, breads, entrees, and desserts. We’ve got everything from BBQ cauliflower bites to orange cardamom rolls to biscuit pot pie—and much, much more—on the menu here at The Plant-Powered Dietitian. I asked some of the top bloggers out there to share their most crave-worth plant-based recipes, and boy, did they deliver.
Remember, plant-based eating can be even more flavorful and delicious than the Standard American Diet (SAD), if you get a little creative in the kitchen.
Eat and Live Well,
Sharon
