I Can't Believe It's Vegan

baskets of vegetables with the words

Take a break from the turkey, mashed potatoes, and other recipes associated with the season and try a taste of something a little greener. In today’s Arrive North Shore Blog post, we hope to fill your cravings with a few recipes you wouldn’t even know were vegan had we not told you. Enjoy!

Panang Curry

There are not many meals that pack as powerful of flavor as homemade curry. The rich and flavorful combination of the coconut milk, cinnamon, and lime juice on top of a “mock meat” is a pleasurable dining experience for everyone.

Vegan BLT with Tofu Bacon

Before you run away from the idea of tofu bacon on your sandwich, we recommend that you don’t turn this recipe down. The “bacon” tastes great and ties the sandwich together with a nice salty flavor. This recipe is quick to throw together, making it a great go-to treat any day.  

Easy Cheezy Pizza

This is a vegan take on a classic dish. It tastes amazing! Golden crust, cashew cheese, and marinara sauce — what’s not to like?

Pasta Carbonara

You might be surprised how wonderful a bite is into this vegan approach to a pasta classic. You might even prefer it to the original recipe. Enjoy each bite of gluten-free penne pasta, a sauce made with cashew butter and almond milk, and tempeh bacon.

Vegan Lemon Raspberry “Cheese” Cake

Almonds, coconut flakes, cashews, lemon juice, honey, frozen raspberries, and apple cider are a few of the ingredients in this flavorful dessert. Your guests are sure to love this. Who knew that cheesecake could be this tasty or healthy? We sure didn’t.

Tiramisu

Enjoy a cake made from raw almonds, pecans, and cashews, and a delicious layer of cream made with coconut milk, cashews, lemon juice, and fresh vanilla bean. The end result looks incredible and is equally delicious.

We hope that you enjoy making and eating these delicious treats in your Highwood, IL apartment! What is your favorite healthy meal to make? Share in the comments below.
