About Our Vegan Recipes:

Vegan recipes from Health eCooks are delicious and nutritious. From hearty plant-based meals and savory tofu dishes to sweet vegan desserts and refreshing smoothies, these recipes provide flavorful ideas for a balanced vegan diet.

According to the American Heart Association®, following a vegan diet may lower the risk of coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity. Those following a vegan diet only eat foods from plant sources, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. 

Here’s how to follow a vegan diet while still getting all the nutrition your body needs:

• Watch your carbs: Switching to meals rich in carbohydrates, like quinoa, pasta and bread can lead to an excess of glucose in the bloodstream and may cause weight gain. Watch your portions and keep your diet balanced between protein, carbs and fats.
• Eat plenty of protein: There are tons of good sources of plant-based protein to include in meals, including edamame, tofu, black beans and peanuts. 
• Watch for foods high in calories: Your daily calorie count can quickly add up if you consume a lot of grains and nuts. If your goal is weight loss, watch your portion size and exercise regularly.
• Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Since vitamin B12 is found mostly in meats, fish and dairy products, it can be difficult to maintain healthy levels on a vegan diet. Get your B12 levels checked regularly by a doctor.
• Read processed food labels: Just because something is labeled “vegan,” doesn’t mean it’s healthy. A good rule of thumb is to stick to natural, whole foods.
