Are you feeling the effects of rising food prices or just want to feed your piggy bank? My collection of very cheerful cheap vegan meals is just for you!

Cheap Vegan Meals, that are cheerful too! | Rebel Recipes (2)

When I launched Rebel Recipes back in 2015, veganism was a fringe movement of people who believed, quite passionately, that a diet of food made entirely from plants was better for health, the environment, and animal welfare. Quite right to.

Then climate change became a thing, and veganism started its move towards the mainstream and there’s much more choice for plant-eaters on the supermarket shelves.

But some are good for your piggy bank, some are not so.

Here on Rebel Recipes, I showcase how fresh, wholesome, unprocessed plants can be combined into food with super-delicious flavours, amazing textures and vibrant colours.

And by using these fresh, wholesome, unprocessed plants you can eat super-healthy vegan meals throughout the day, on a budget.

When I do my grocery shop, I make a list, from my recipes of course 😉 and head straight for the fresh fruit and veg, and store-cupboard aisles. Here you’ll find fresh colourful fruits and leafy green vegetables, beans, legumes, grains, potatoes, pasta, rice, oats, flour and much more.

And in the chiller cabinet, my frugal firm fave is tofu, and as a bonus it’s higher in the plant-based protein many vegans seek.

Then with my recipes, you can turn these wonderful real plant-based ingredients into fabulous and cheap vegan meals and vegetarian meals, from breakfast to night, for all occasions, and all your friends and family.
