Delicious vegan recipes you need to try

Whether you are thinking about starting a meatless diet or if you are an expert on the subject, you will be amazed by these 10 delicious vegan recipes.

There are more and more people who join veganism but there are still many who get involved with vegan cuisine which, by the way, is not the same as vegetarian cuisine. While it exclusively excludes meat, veganism excludes any food that comes from an animal , including eggs, honey, milk or butter, making it even more restrictive. However, many expert voices endorse the benefits of this type of nutrition, which is based on all types of vegetables, seeds , cereals, legumes and fruit.

An example is Dr. Neal D. Barnard , Doctor of Medicine, professor at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at the University of Washington and author of the well-known ‘Eat healthy, eat vegan’, one of the essential guides to get started in veganism , which is much more: as much as a lifestyle that involves seeking animal-free excellence in everything that a vegan touches and does (even says), from the universe of cosmetics to clothing.

Dr. Barnard defends vegan nutritional plans by insisting on their multiple benefits, one of which has to do with what makes life easier for those who live under control of their diabetes , not to mention what benefits the environment . And he denies myths such as the most universal one, which claims that the vegan diet does not contain enough protein. He remembers that the protein needs of women , for example, are 46 grams per day, which a balanced vegan diet more than meets.

The truth is that veganism is experiencing a real boom; So far this year, the number of vegan people has increased by 34%, and today, in Spain, almost 8% of people over 18 years of age are. Surely you have also considered getting started in it on more than one occasion, but doubts, ignorance and the misconception that the ingredients cannot be found in any supermarket have put you back. Nothing could be further from the truth: the proof is these exquisite, healthy, very easy and environmentally friendly recipes that we have selected. Grab paper and pen!
