55 Gluten Free and Vegan Breakfast and Dinner Recipes

After the New Year, I know many people set new health goals...and one of those may be participating in Veganuary or eating more plant-based meals. So whether you want to shake up your Meatless Monday routine or experiment with a vegan diet, this round up of 55 gluten free and vegan breakfast and dinner recipes is your secret weapon to healthy eating in 2021.

A few quick notes about the gluten free and vegan recipes in this round-up: 1) If oats or oat flour is used, make sure yours is gluten free and celiac safe!, 2) To keep some of the recipes 100% vegan, use gf and vegan chocolate chips, like from Enjoy Life Foods, 3) If nuts or seeds are used, also make sure yours are gluten free! I love buying mine from Foods Alive (hence why I'm an ambassador for them!).

With all that said...let's dig in to these 55 gluten free and vegan breakfast and dinner recipes that are perfect for Veganuary!
