Hey moms! The day I decided to eat more healthy I decided to go vegan. I won’t lie it was so hard. I had the taste to eat meat and seafood. The biggest issue for me and most moms is learning how to properly prepare vegan meals so they will taste scrumptious. A lot of moms had concerns on what spices, seasoning , and herbs to use. Below is some wonderful vegan recipes from some of the best vegan cooks.
Breakfast
EGGLESS BREAKFAST TACO RECIPE
Ingredients
- 2 cups cubed sweet potatoes, about 1/2 inch
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup black beans
- 1/2 cup refried beans
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil or vegan butter
- 1 cup JUST Egg
- 1/8 cup diced onions
- 1 fresh diced jalapeño (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- Any other mix-ins (spinach, salsa, cheese, cilantro)
- 8 corn tortillas
Directions
- Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400°. Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil and a little salt and pepper. Place on a large baking sheet in a single layer and roast 15-20 minutes, until browned and tender.
- Meanwhile, add black beans to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat until warm. Heat refried beans in the same manner.
- When the sweet potato is cooked and the beans are warm, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Coat evenly with a bit of butter or oil. Toss diced onions and jalapeño to the skillet and gently cook until translucent.
- Shake the bottle of JUST Egg well. Pour the desired amount until the skillet on top of the onion mixture. Shake the skillet to distribute the liquid evenly and let it sit for a moment before stirring.
- Scramble like an egg, scraping and pulling mixture across pan, while still letting the JUST Egg heat evenly until set. When the liquid iIs about halfway cooked through, add in spinach if desired. Scramble until all the liquid is just cooked through. Use the spatula to break the scramble up into fluffy, bite-sized pieces. Remove from heat.
- Heat tortillas one by one over gas stovetop flame or wrap and heat in the microwave, then top each one with scrambled egg, sweet potatoes and veggies. Sprinkle vegan cheese on top and garnish with salsa, cilantro and squeezed lime.

- (Depending on your pan use a tiny bit of avocado oil)

Snack
Plantains with Chunky Guacamole
by: Cooking. For Peanuts
Ingredients
- 1 Ripe Plantain
- 1 Avocado
- 1/4 Minced Jalapeño
- 1/4 Diced Tomatoes
- 2 tbsp diced red onion
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 2 tsp fresh lime juice
Directions
- Simply slice very ripe plantains to desired thickness (the thinner, the crispier). (Optional: brush with a little oil but not necessary.)
- Cook in air fryer at 400F until golden brown, about 15 minutes. 🌱Chunky guacamole: Mash 1 large avocado with a fork into large chunks. Add deseeded finely minced jalapeño, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, fresh lime juice, salt and black pepper to taste.
- Using an air fryer is healthier and the plantains are crisper. I use the Ninja Max XL Air Fryer that Cooks, Crisps, Roasts, Broils, Bakes, Reheats and Dehydrates; it does it all.
