What Is Lazy Vegan?
Lazy Vegan is your shortcut to a delicious plant-based food that takes minimal effort to prepare. No mystery ingredients, strange ingredients, or fancy ingredients – just a nutritionally complete and flavorful dish.
Why You’ll Love This Lazy Vegan Recipes Round Up:
With this Lazy Vegan Recipes round-up post, I primarily tried to check 2 boxes:
It must be something I or someone I know would eat: That means all of these easy lazy vegan recipes can be made gluten-free as well.
Minimal and Simple ingredients: All of these lazy vegan recipes call for 10 ingredients, excluding spices and water. I may have let a few extra ingredients slip in if the recipe looked particularly amazing, but 99% of these lazy vegan recipes have 10 ingredients or less.
How Do Vegans Live On A Budget?
A Vegan can live on a budget by incorporating more grocery store food staples in his or her diet. Healthy vegan grocery store staples such as legumes, grains, and seasonal fruits and vegetables, and spices and condiments.
What Are Some Vegan Grocery Store Staples?
Below are some great affordable vegan grocery store staples. These grocery store staples are perfect to incorporate in any lazy vegan recipe.
- Legumes: Black beans, chickpeas, soybeans, brown lentils, and red lentils.
- Grains: Brown rice, cauliflower rice, and white rice.
- Seasonal fruits and vegetables: Green onions, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and sweet potatoes.
- Spices and condiments: Black pepper, chili powder, olive oil, tomato sauce, peanut butter, fresh basil, onion powder, and soy sauce.
