Short on time, yet still want to serve your family a healthy plant-based meal?
This recipe roundup is for you!
No excuses to reach for that frozen pizza or another heavily processed “easy” dinner that is full of preservatives! Those chemicals that hide in pre-packaged foods, have zero nutrients, provide absolutely no benefits to the body and over time will only put your health at risk.
Even with 15 min minutes, you have enough time to make a healthy dinner recipe that’s tasty, too.
This collection of wonderful recipes would not be possible without the support of many kind bloggers who were willing to share their passion for healthy plant-based lifestyle. Nikki and I want to “thank you” for all your love and support. We feel very blessed to be part of this growing community and are dedicated to spreading the message of health and well-being.

A vegan diet is becoming super popular these days and rightfully so. Elimination of animal protein and chemically laden foods have the potential to shed excess weight and dramatically improve your overall wellbeing. BUT…only if done right!
Eating processed vegan food is NOT the answer! Vibrant health and optimum bodyweight are impossible if you’re eating processed food. If you are interested in living a healthy and sustainable plant-based lifestyle please understand this…Organic, raw fruits and vegetables will give you an abundance of energy, help you lose weight, keep it off and eliminate cellulite and sagging skin.
This lifestyle has transformed our lives in many ways: physically, mentally, and spiritually. While both of us embarked on this journey for our physical health, the true gift that we received was awareness, compassion, and self-love. It has been an incredible journey, and while we are far from perfect and still have room to grow, we are grateful for every opportunity we get to share our message with others.
We hope to deliver value and inspire you to embrace a fully plant-based diet rich in fruits and vegetables, without the need to consume animal products, toxic chemicals, or processed packaged “foods” to survive.
If you try one of these recipes, let us know! Leave a comment, Pin for later, and don’t forget to tag a photo #avrecipes on Instagram. Everybody needs to eat better so share this with your people. ❤

Dedicated to your health & wellbeing,
I enjoy going to the Farmers Market here and get upset when i can’t. Trying new recipes with some of your suggestions and products is wonderful. I am getting my husband to eat more veggies and gluten free products. Won’t do the pizza, but does eat the pasta. Thank you Amy’s for making such good food for us!! Really love the macaroni and cheese.
Hi Jayme,
Glad to hear you are having fun experimenting with plant based foods! Changing your diet is a journey, take your time, one step at a time. You are doing great and it’s amazing that you got your husband on board as well! Keep it up 🙂
