Who says that vegan meals, without meat and dairy products, cannot be absolutely delicious? On the contrary, depending on the method of preparation, the variation of the ingredients, herbs and spices used, meals made up of just fruits, vegetables and nuts can often be even tastier! Vegan nutrition has become a real science. The number of people who follow this food regime is growing daily and so are the number of restaurants that serve exclusively vegan food. This trend confirms that it is far easier to remove animal protein from the daily menu, than we previously thought. Vegan meals are healthy and rich in vitamins and minerals, directly from the soil.
We want to inspire you to re-think your menu and start introducing vegan meals or even “vegan days”! For starters, try our recipe for Mexican tacos with mango and black beans!
