Vegan recipes that will sail you through weekend meal prep

To celebrate World Vegan Month, we’ve put together a range of hearty, plant-based recipes that you and your family can enjoy.

Veganism has copped its fair share of criticism over the years, but with more and more of us embracing vegan food, it’s time to give up the cheesy vegan jokes and take a look at the benefits of eating plant-based meals.

With meat production accounting for up to 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions, there’s a strong argument that giving up (or cutting down) on meat consumption will make a big difference to the environment. To help ease the environmental impact of meat production, there’re companies around the globe working to produce an authentic-tasting, lab-grown hamburger patty. Denmark’s Mosa Meat is aiming to get its ‘slaughter-free’ burger patties to market by 2021 for about $US10 per patty.

And, it’s not just the environment that could benefit from going plant-based, there’s research to suggest that non-meat eaters tend to have lower LDL (the bad cholesterol), blood pressure and BMI – all of which reduce risk for many chronic diseases.

So, we’ve put together five of our favourite simple vegan recipes that you can prepare this weekend.
