Share www.GetCollagen.co.za

This is a recipe for creamy vegan honey mustard, which is sweetened with medjool dates and blended with cashews. The cashews provide a creamy texture, while a pinch of turmeric imparts a bright yellow color. The honey mustard is equal parts sweet and tangy, and it can be spread onto sandwiches or burgers or used as a dipping sauce. If you’re looking for a honey mustard recipe that’s not only vegan, but also made with whole food ingredients and incredibly delicious, this is…

This vegan roasted garlic white bean dip is creamy and spreadable, thanks to the addition of tahini and the naturally tender texture of cannellini beans. Oven-roasting brings out garlic’s natural sweetness and intensity, and this dip incorporates an entire head of roasted garlic for depth of flavor. Use the white bean dip as a nutritious spread for sandwiches, as an accompaniment to crackers or crudités, or as a topping for your next grain bowl. I’m so excited to tell you about this white…

This vegan tzatziki is made with cashews, garlic, lemon juice, fresh herbs, and grated cucumber. It will add an ultra-creamy, tangy, and cool component to your meals, from grain bowls to roasted vegetables to vegan gyros or pita pockets. The tzatziki is also a refreshing and versatile dip. The notion of a food or cooking rut doesn’t only apply to meals. It applies to condiments, too. It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of tahini dressings, in any and all ways. Likewise,…

These smoky vegan refried beans are a staple for tacos, wraps, burritos, snacking, and more! They’re full of vibrant, savory flavor, thanks to the addition of lime juice, tomato paste, and smoked paprika. Best of all, they take only 15 minutes to prepare with cooked beans. When my friend Ashley and I were working together on Power Plates, I went to stay and work with her in Denver. When she asked me if there was anything I wanted to have on hand for…

Lentils are a mighty source of plant-protein and a game changer in vegan cooking. Here are 25 versatile & nutritious lentil recipes that I know you’ll love! Early in the pandemic last spring, I polled readers on Instagram stories about what type of recipes they’d most like to see on the blog.

Multiple loaves of easy vegan multigrain bread in the last few weeks means lots of incentive to make sandwiches! More sandwiches means more sandwich combinations, and this miso tahini vegetable sandwich is my latest favorite. This sandwich is completely inspired by Peacefood Cafe, a cozy and casual vegan restaurant in my neighborhood. Their miso tahini sandwich features a thick, salty sweet spread, sprouts, carrots, and spelt sourdough. It’s so good, and I order it nearly every single time I grab lunch there. The…

One of the things I keep hearing, on social media and among friends, is that people are craving freshness in food. I think most of us have relied a little more heavily than usual on pantry staples, which is important for safety and staying put. But, with fewer trips to the store and more concern about food waste and spoilage, it’s also natural for us to want to see more color on our plates again. Today’s sunny recipe is full of both freshness…

Technically speaking, this is the first autumn in ten whole years that I haven’t been starting a fresh semester of full or part-time graduate school. Even so, the fall can’t help but evoke back-to-school season and everything that implies: new beginnings, renewed energy, organization. And into the category of organization we can definitely group meal…
