Dreena Burton's Romesc-oat Sauce is a fantastically simple and delicious pasta sauce - or you can make it thick like a dip.
The recipe is from her newest cookbook, Let Them Eat Vegan!, which is full of healthy vegan recipes for the whole family.
Seeing as she has three little girls at home, she's the master of healthy cookies, veggie burgers, soups, salads, sauces and dips, and yummy (but also pretty darn healthy) desserts.
Sweet Potato And Beet Soup Recipe
- Details
- October 26
This sweet potato and beet soup recipe is really easy to make, and tastes totally amazing.
I love both sweet potatoes and beets (you see them pretty often in my healthy vegan recipes), and one day I decided to put them together in a soup.
I was so happy with the results that I wanted to share with you.
I find the combo of beets and sweet potato give a rich flavor and a thick, creamy texture to this soup.
Vegan Meatball Recipe
- Details
- October 12
This vegan meatball recipe is great with spaghetti and tomato sauce, in a hearty vegetable soup or even made into burgers.
These meatballs are made with buckwheat, and lots of yummy seasonings. Good flavors are key to making tasty and healthy vegan recipes.
Buckwheat is in the group called pseudograins - foods that cook like grains but are technically seeds or fruits.
Parsley Pesto Recipe
- Details
- October 05
This parsley pesto recipe is a tasty way to use some of this super-healthy fresh herb.
Parsley is loaded with nutrients - especially vitamin K, folate, iron, vitamin C and vitamin A - so I love using it to make super-healthy vegan recipes.
I wrote a whole article this week on Healthy Eating Starts Here about parsley health benefits that you can check out if you're interested.
Protein Cookie Recipe
- Details
- September 28
This protein cookie recipe is a fantastic afternoon snack, giving you a nice little boost of protein rather than the oil and sugar in most cookies.
I mostly stick to whole foods in my healthy vegan recipes, but protein powder is a bit of an exception.
I don't see it in the same category as refined foods, like white flour or white sugar.
Healthy Brownie Recipe
- Details
- September 21
What is a healthy brownie recipe, you ask? Well, it's one that's made with less sugar and fat than most, and (like most of my healthy vegan recipes) highlights the natural deliciousness of whole foods.
These brownies are sweetened with banana and fresh dates, although I do have an option to make them with unrefined sugar if you prefer.
The rich, fudgy base comes from a combo of kidney beans, peanut butter and cocoa powder, so you don't need any oil to make these.
Easy Gazpacho Recipe
- Details
- September 14
This is an easy gazpacho recipe that makes for a refreshing bowl of raw soup - perfect for when the tomatoes are ripening in the hot late summer sun.
I added a hot pepper (something I don't often do in my healthy vegan recipes because I'm a spice wimp) that didn't taste too spicy when I tasted the tip, but wound up making a very spicy pot.
I gave some tips on dealing with hot peppers in the video, but I mentioned it to my sister-in-law after, who eat lots of hot peppers, and she gave me a couple more.
FREE Online Cooking Class - Chickpea Salad Sandwich Recipe
- Details
- September 06
This chickpea salad sandwich recipe is a perfect way for me to show you how to make healthy vegan recipes for lunch in a FREE online cooking class I did on Thursday, September 6th.
You can take this recipe to an ocean-y flavor with mineral-dense sea vegetables, or to a sweet flavor with a handful of raisins.
Kale Salad With Cashew-Parsley Dressing
- Details
- September 01
This kale salad could just make you fall in love with kale. Plus, it has three healthy vegan recipes in one: a salad, a dressing and a hummus.
The dressing is really tasty and creamy, thanks to the cashew butter I used. You can grind up your own cashews, or use another nut/seed butter if you can't find cashew.
I am very lucky to have a company called Nuts To You here in Canada. They don't have a website, and they don't sell outside of Canada as far as I know.
Healthy Granola Recipe
- Details
- August 10
'Healthy granola recipe' might sound redundant to some people, but it's actually really hard to find healthy vegan recipes for granola that aren't loaded with sugar and oil.
This granola is only sweetened with pure fruit juice. If you want something a bit sweeter, you can replace part of the juice with maple syrup, or add some unrefined sugar.
I like it with this light sweetness, though, and the flavor of the juice will add its own character to your granola.
