Are you up for a vegan challenge this week? You are in the right place! I put together a list of my favorite vegan dinner recipes!

Dan and I normally eat very healthy food, and our diet is mostly vegetarian.

But plant-based food brings the challenge to a completely different level, especially when you love cheese as we do!

Going vegan isn’t easy (believe me, we tried!). But you can start with a week, and if you enjoy it, then you can carry on!

Reasons to go Vegan for a week (or longer!)

There are so many reasons to go vegan, even if it’s just for a week or a month!

For most people, loving animals justifies the choice.

Some people want to start a healthier lifestyle, and combining a challenge likeVeganuary with their New Year’s Resolution is a great way to start the year.

Eating less meat and animal products will definitely help you to pack your diet with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats.

If you follow a plant-based diet, you will be eating lots more foods that are good for you: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, and nuts.

Want to know the best part?

This will help you to stay healthy, increase yourenergy, speed up yourmetabolism and also drop the pounds you have accumulatedduring the holidays!

But by going vegan, you are not only helping yourself: you are helping the environment too! The production of meat and other animal products, like dairy, places a heavy burden on the environment.

The vast amount of grain required to feed the animals for meat production is a significant contributor to deforestation and species extinction.

Animal agriculture is the single greatest human-caused source of greenhouse gases, land use, and land degradation. It’s alsothe number one source of water pollution.

The good news is that you can do something about it by eating less meat.

Going vegan will also help your grocery budget!Beans and lentils are great meat substitutes: they are a great alternative in casseroles and pasta dishes and are so much cheaper than meat!

• Your health
• The environment
• The animals
• Your wallet

So try a vegan diet and discover a whole new world of recipes that are good for you, the animals, and the planet.

I swear, by the end of the week, you’ll feel fantastic!
