Day 12: Vegan ideas

Dear fellow 30-Day Challengers

I know some of you are really embracing the 30-Day Challenge when it comes to reducing/eliminating meat and dairy from your diets. With this in mind, I wanted to give you some inspiration for some of the meals I have tried and tested over the years, and which are still staples in my diet:

Chilli Bean Burritos 

(Tip: I often leave out the corn salsa and use vegan yoghurt to cool the spice down, and if you don’t like kidney beans you can replace with any other tinned beans that you like)!

Vegan Dahl Curry 

(Tip: if all the spices you have is curry powder, just omit the other dried spices)

5 Minute Dahl

Creamy mushroom pasta

(Tip: This is great cooked for 3-4 people and eaten hot or cold the next day too)

Quesadillas

(Tip: These are absolutely divine with some oven cooked wedges. They’re completely worth the effort).

Also, in terms of the places that you might like to try for vegan options around Dublin, these are just some of the places I like:

Cornucopia (Healthy)

Pho Kim (Vietnamese)

Blazing Salads (Healthy)

Vegan Sandwich Company (Fast-Food)

McGuinness Takeaway (Fast-Food)

Shook (Middle Eastern)

Umi Falafel (Middle Eastern)

Boojum (Cheap Fast-Food)

If this is helpful, please leave a comment and I can post some more recipes/food places to try.
