Vegan

Vegan recipes may not include meat, dairy or other animal products, but they’re veggie-packed, nutrient-dense and plant-powered. And let’s be honest, whether you’re vegan or not, we could all more plant-based meals in our diet!

I’ve got heaps of vegan recipes on Downshiftogy including hearty salads like my Wild Rice and Arugula Salad and delicious snacks like my Hummus, Guacamole and Flax Seed Crackers. A few reader favorite vegan recipes include my Vegan Alfredo Sauce, Vegan Caramel Cheesecake, Cucumber Salad and Acai Bowl.

This gluten-free Vegan Caramel Cheesecake recipe is drizzled with the most amazing salted caramel sauce. The vegan cheesecake is simply made from cashews that have soaked overnight and it's super creamy and decadent.
