35 Carnivore-Approved Vegan Meals

Last updated on April 11th, 2021 at 08:04 am

I am the only vegan living in a family of carnivores and while I do a good job of feeding us all vegan meals, sometimes I need to look to my fellow bloggers for a little inspiration.  Today I am  I am sharing 35 Carnivore-Approved Vegan Meals from some very talented and creative vegan foodies. These vegan recipes are carnivore tried and tested.

This post is purely a food post. As I sitting here writing this I know there is so much more to say about events around the world but...I don't have enough words. Not yet. So I cook and hope that I might find the words. But I have this; love your neighbours even the ones who don't look like you. It is only by the grace of the universe that we are born in the skin we live in. It's a lottery we have no control over and in any parallel world anyone of us could have been born George Floyd. But we live in this one and we all have to do better.

One of the most common myths about vegan meals is that they won’t fill you up. The truth is meals made with fibre-rich and nutritious ingredients - whether vegan or no - make you feel fuller for longer. Fibre-rich foods take longer to digest helping to keep you satisfied for longer.*

Another argument is that vegan food doesn't contain enough protein. Not true! Protein is available in a plethora of plant-based sources including whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, tofu and even kale and broccoli. A study in to food consumption in America found that we get more than enough protein. 

Most American adults eat about 100 grams of protein per day, or roughly twice the recommended amount. Even on a vegan diet people can easily get 60 to 80 grams of protein throughout the day from foods like beans, legumes, nuts, broccoli and whole grains." New York Times

Finally, I often hear that it's hard to get enough flavour in to plant-based foods. Well, let's put that myth to rest right now with these 35 carnivore-approved vegan meals.
