Top 5 Vegan Alternatives

By Kiwilimón - 2018-10-16T09:22:05.298485Z
To eat healthy, there are many options and diets, one of the most famous at the moment is the vegan diet. In short, it involves not eating anything of animal origin, which includes milk, eggs, cheese, etc. Since people following this diet cannot eat protein or animal derivatives, today we want to give you five different options to choose from for your day-to-day. This is our top 5: vegan alternatives.

Blueberry Hot Cakes

It can be tricky to imagine how to cook this classic breakfast without animal-derived ingredients like eggs or butter, but by using almond milk and maple syrup, you can achieve the same texture and even a sweeter, richer flavor. When the hot cakes are ready, you can accompany them with more fruits like strawberries and raspberries to add a tangy touch that contrasts with the sweetness.

Dairy-Free Fettuccine Alfredo

Originally, this pasta is based on a white sauce made with butter and cheese, but in this case, we use Asian miso pasta with lemon juice, cashews, and garlic to give it that smooth and silky texture while maintaining a lighter flavor. The recipe is ideal for vegans and also for those who are lactose intolerant since the fettuccine is whole grain.

Banana Cake with Chocolate Chips

It is a mistake to think that vegans must sacrifice desserts and cakes that usually contain milk or eggs; there are many alternatives, like this delicious banana cake. This recipe includes coconut milk that pairs wonderfully with the banana puree and all the spices like cinnamon and vanilla. The result is a fluffy, moist cake that is also healthy.

Three-Ingredient Chia Pudding

This recipe is nutritious, delicious, low in sugar, and ideal for diabetics, vegans, and vegetarians. Chia is known as a super ingredient as it contains important nutrients for the body, helps the skin, and prevents diseases. The interesting part of this sweet recipe is that it is made with just three ingredients: coconut or almond milk, chia seeds, and ripe bananas. You can prepare it a day in advance to let it absorb flavor and serve it as breakfast or dessert during meals.

Vegan Mayonnaise

This recipe is very simple but also very tasty. It meets all the requirements to be a vegan preparation but tastes just as good or better than original mayonnaise. It is made from soy milk, grain mustard, lemon, garlic, and vinegar. You can spread it on any sandwich or baguette, and even use it to make tuna and chicken salad.
