If you already eat a whole food plant-based diet but are getting tired of your routine, this collection of delicious veganuary recipes is exactly what you need!
Below you’ll find 31 amazing vegan recipes that are nutrient-dense, filling, flavourful, and satisfying. It’s a great way to change up your dinner schedule, meet your January healthy eating goals, or complete a veganuary challenge.
Eating vegan food should not be boring! (And neither should eating healthy.) That’s what this happy veganuary meal plan is all about.
What you’ll find
- 31 mouth-watering veganuary recipes that are perfect for dinner (and some leftovers).
- Dishes that are actually nutrient-dense, and not boring.
- Veganuary recipes that are, of course, vegan, not just vegan options, vegetarian, dairy-free, and free from eggs. (No animal products.) But also oil-free (or easily made oil-free).
- All recipes are refined sugar-free and many are wheat and gluten-free.
- Filling, hearty meals from casseroles, to burgers, to meatballs, tacos, pizza, buddha bowls, healthy grains, soups, and stews.
- Recipe servings are all UNDER 400 calories per serving. So if your goal is weight loss, these veganuary recipes will definitely aid with that. (If weight loss is not your goal, you may enjoy a larger serving.)
- Most are budget-friendly too!
- Most importantly, FLAVOUR-filled, tried and true, tested vegan recipes that work the FIRST time you make them and will satisfy your soul.
What you won’t find
Not one salad.
Nope!
Now, there’s nothing wrong with a hearty, delicious salad, but I’m here to change your mind about plant-based eating. To show you that a vegan diet goes FAR beyond salad. These veganuary recipes will change your perspective.
So even if your family are not willing participants, these happy veganuary dishes may change their mind! 😉
That said, if a salad is what you’re craving, check out all my salads on the blog. And of course, feel free to add a green salad to any of the meal options below. 🙂
You also won’t find any “fake” store-bought non-dairy products or highly processed ingredients loaded with chemicals.
Just REAL food!
So make the first month of the year (and every month after that if you’re interested in a vegan lifestyle) filled with wholesome and delicious food.
About the calendar
I’m offering a FREE printable calendar for your veganuary recipes meal plan with clickable links for each dinner recipe. The calendar takes care of all your dinners for the entire month of January.
I did not include breakfasts or lunches, as these dishes usually provide leftovers. And leftovers make the best lunches right?
For vegan breakfast ideas, check out these.
And if you’re craving chocolate, cookies, or something sweet, find some healthier vegan dessert ideas here to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Why Meal Plan?
My top 3 reasons:
- Reduce Stress: With a planned menu for the week or month, you don’t need to worry about what you’re cooking for dinner every night.
- Encourage Healthier Eating: When you have a plan in place, you won’t make impulse decisions, to let’s say, order a pizza. 😉
- Save Money: With the menu planned out for you, you know exactly what you need to purchase from the supermarkets. That means fewer impulse purchases and/or wasted produce.

Thank you so much for this. Trying to create a 30-day menu set for healthier eating. The PCRM 21-day vegan kick-start has some delicious recipes, but hasn’t given me a whole 30-days worth I really like. Can’t wait to try some of these and add to my plan!

My absolute pleasure Josie. Hope you find some delicious dinner ideas to add to your rotation. Please let me know which ones you try. 🙂
