15 Quick & Healthy Plant-Based Recipes

Whether you’re looking for ideas for busy weeknight dinners or simple lunch recipes, I’ve got you covered! In this post, you’ll find my favorite 15+ Quick & Healthy Plant-Based Recipes, including soups, curries, pasta, and rice-based dishes.

15 Quick & Healthy Plant-Based Recipes

While I usually love standing the whole day in the kitchen and cooking up a storm, sometimes I just can’t be bothered with too much cooking. This is when these quick & healthy recipes come in handy!

The recipes in this post can either be prepared in 45 minutes or less or you can freeze the basic components (like the falafel for the falafel curry) and make the meal with a few preparations in a really short time. All of the dishes are vegan (obviously) but many of them are gluten-free too.

If you want more vegan recipe ideas that can be made in 30 minutes or less, please check out my eBook “Everyday Vegan”, which you can download for free if you subscribe to my weekly newsletter.

      or expensive! I totally agree. It may seem hard and restrictive from the outside, but after a few days in it’s simple pleasure and feeling good :D

      Aww thank you Natalie, that is so sweet of you! I feel lucky to have a lot of time to cook, but even with limited time midday or in the evening, it’s still possible to create wholesome & yummy plant-based meals – at least that is what I wanted to show with this post :)
