5 Vegan Comfort Foods That You'll Ask for More

Vegan comfort foods are a great way to get started with vegan eating. If you are transitioning from an omnivorous diet, start with the foods that you already love. Try making your favorite comfort foods using plant-based ingredients instead of animal products on your next vegan holidays.

Despite what you might think, vegan comfort foods are as delicious and satisfying, if not more so, than their non-vegan counterparts. This is especially true when a plant-based diet is implemented with care and consideration, meaning whole foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and grains are consumed in abundance.

The possibilities for vegan comfort foods are endless; you just have to get a little creative about the ingredients you use! Here are some ideas that you can try:

Vegan Mac & Cheese

This cheesy, creamy dish is a favorite among vegans and meat-eaters alike. The base is a classic roux, which is made from flour and oil. For the vegan version, you can use olive oil instead of butter. Next, add your secret ingredient: cashews! These give the mac & cheese its creamy texture without using any dairy products. Finish with some nutritional yeast for cheesiness. And you have yourself a meal that’s delicious, healthy, and completely guilt-free!

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

Bite-sized cauliflower florets coated in a crispy batter and then covered in a spicy buffalo sauce, this dish is so good, you won't even notice it's made from cauliflower! And if you want to cut down on the calories, skip the batter and just toss the cauliflower in buffalo sauce. 

These spicy bites are addictive, and they’re so easy to make. Since cauliflower comes in many different sizes, it’s hard to say exactly how much you’ll need for this recipe. Just plan on one head per dish. They're a much healthier alternative to chicken wings.

Vegan Nachos

A big bowl of nachos is one of most vegans' favorite indulgences, especially on game day! This recipe is incredibly easy, yet so delicious. All you need are tortilla chips, refried beans (try making your own with pinto beans), avocado (for creaminess), jalapeños (spice). Add your favorite toppings— like tomatoes, onions, cilantro, salsa

Lasagna

A few tweaks to this Italian favorite make it vegan-friendly! Instead of ricotta cheese, try using a tofu-based ricotta instead. Cashew cream also works well as a dairy replacement.

You can also use thinly sliced eggplant or zucchini instead of pasta noodles to make an even healthier version of this dish. Top with fresh basil, oregano and marinara sauce made from scratch and your family will never know the difference!

Pasta With Vegan Parmesan Cheese

There is nothing quite as comforting as pasta topped with a creamy and rich sauce. However, this dish can be pretty high in calories and unhealthy fats. But don't worry! You can still get your fix with this tasty vegan alternative. Simply swap the traditional parmesan cheese for vegan parmesan cheese made from cashews and nutritional yeast.

This vegan pasta dish is great for anyone who has lactose intolerance or who just wants to eat healthier while enjoying their favorite dishes even during their vegan travel vacation.
