Vegan Recipes That Don’t Suck For Meatless Monday (From A Die Hard Carnivore)

RE: BUZZFEED FOOD APPLICATION Vegan-ism confuses me but I know it’s a healthier lifestyle than mine, so I take one day out of the week to feel healthier. Here's a list of recipes that won't have you missing meat.

1. Breakfast

Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are super easy to make and taste great. Substitute yogurt and milk for a ripe banana and almond milk, you won't even know the dairy is missing.

2. Lunch

Masala Cauliflower Rice

Your co-workers will probably be ordering indian food for lunch, but you'll be ahead of the game with a much healthier version of the greasy take-out food.

*Helpful tip for us lazy cooks: You can buy cauliflower that's already been "riced" at Whole Foods.

3. Afternoon Snack

The Best Baba Ganoush

Skip the boring old hummus and carrots snack and have baba ganoush instead. It takes a little more time and effort to make this dip but it's completely worth it. Make it the night ahead or few days ahead, it gets better as it sits in the fridge! Dip carrots, pita bread, tomatoes or whatever catches your fancy!

4. Dinner

Zucchini Pasta with Pesto

Nothing is more satisfying than a hearty bowl of pasta, skip the carb overload by using spiralized zucchini instead. Don't own a spiralizer? Just head to your local grocery store, they probably already have spiralized zucchini. If you don't have time to make your own pesto, most grocery stores carry vegan pesto sauces, or substitute for your favorite jarred sauce.

5. Dessert
