Where to Find Great Plant-Based Recipes

Happy World Vegan Month!

Adopting plant-based diets is becoming increasingly popular as people are becoming more and more aware of the ethical and environmental problems surrounding the meat, fish and dairy industries. I first started adopting a plant-based diet in 2018 as I begun educating myself about the problems our planet is facing. I began by going vegetarian with meat on the weekends in order to make the transition to predominantly plant-based easier. Over time I phased out meat, fish and the majority of dairy products.

I feel the biggest problem I faced back then was that I didn’t know how to live a plant-based life. I didn’t know any recipes or how to make interesting and enjoyable meat and dairy free meals. This made the experience of becoming plant-based difficult, stressful and unenjoyable at times.

Today I thought I would share with you some of my favourite creators who are out there sharing plant-based recipes. I recognise that in todays climate, more people are looking for ways to reduce their meat consumptions but are stuck when it comes to what to eat instead. Here, I am providing you with some of the best people to follow and the sources of some fantastic plant-based recipes.
