Keeping a vegan food diary is a great way to show others what I eat every day. It’s also handy for inspiration if you want to make easy plant based meals at home.
Here are my vegan lunches and dinners for the past week or so. I hope you discover some easy vegan meal inspiration!
1. Lentil bolognese
Wholegrain spaghetti with lentil bolognese: chopped tomatoes, green lentils, mushrooms, fresh garlic, red pepper, yellow pepper, sweetcorn, red kidney beans, chilli flakes, mixed herbs, ACV…
