This environmentally friendly, cruelty-free and healthy whole-food version of a charcuterie board is everything you’d ever want in a plant-based appetizer: crunchy crackers, creamy cashew cheese, savory tempeh bacon, and sour, pungent, sweet and bitter olives. It’s a party for all your tastebuds!

Did someone say peaches? These bites are a fun and different way to enjoy your favorite summer fruits. Use fresh when they’re in season or frozen when you want to call in the memory of summer suppers. Plus, feel good that they’re helping to keep your immune system strong from the plentiful vitamin C in the peaches, red peppers, and limes!

This tempeh bacon has a sweet smokiness and can be used in many ways. Make a tempeh “BLT” (or “TBLT”) sandwich, add to grain bowls, crumble into salads, enjoy alongside a tofu breakfast scramble or eat it all by itself as a snack!

Who knew that tacos could be so healthy? Truth is that there are countless ways to prepare tacos using plant-based ingredients. With so many filling options, you could create a different taco for every night of the week! This one, in particular, is pretty special with its plant-powered ingredients including cauliflower, avocado, black beans, and whole-grain tortillas. Layer the tacos up with even more goodness, like kimchi, cilantro, and red onion for even more healing nutrition.

The smoky vegetables and tofu combined with sweet pineapple then topped with creamy mozzarella cashew cheese makes for an out-of-this-world combination. Make the mozzarella cheese, press the tofu, and precut the vegetables and pineapple ahead of time to save some prep minutes.

This pizza is simple to create if you make the Turmeric Cashew Cheese first and use store-bought cauliflower crust (however, I do recommend making your own if you have the time!). The cheese recipe will make more than double the amount you need for the pizza, allowing you to make it on one day and use it throughout the week on wraps, in salads, and, of course, reserving some for the pizza. With the cauliflower crust and fresh vegetables, this is a light, refreshing, and nourishing dish for the spring and summer evenings!

This nutrient- and fiber-rich crust might take a little time, muscle, and patience but it’s well worth the wait! Cauliflower Pizza Crust is much lighter than its whole-grain counterpart, making it a nice summer evening meal with fresh tomatoes, basil, and roasted veggies.

Peanutty (subs available!) vegetables topped with cashew mozzarella? Yes, please! The sweet and tangy peanut sauce combined with the savory and creamy cashew cheese is sure to satisfy all your tastebuds. If you’re a spice fan, top it with jalapeno for an all-around flavorful and energizing pizza!

Turn your garden squash into a crispy, savory snack! For optimal crisp, enjoy them right away. If you eschew sweet when it comes to snacks then these squash bites will do the trick!
