Veganuary is here! And this time, even more people are taking part than ever. At Vetain, we want to support everyone who’s new to vegan cooking and make it easier to get started with vegan January. That’s why we created a Veganuary recipe collection that lets you cook delicious, simple, and simply vegantastic dishes all month long.
But even long-term vegans can still discover new recipe ideas with us. There’s something here for everyone.

Feel free to browse through our Veganuary recipes and plan your next meals.

 

Vegan breakfast

Starting your day vegan? Nothing is easier—or tastier. Whether you prefer sweet porridge, baked oats & co., or you’re more into savory alternatives like rolls, you’re spoiled for choice here.
PS: Some of these Veganuary recipes are also perfect as meal prep recipes, so your vegan breakfast is already waiting for you in the morning and you won’t have to do any work at all.

Vegan lunch

Contrary to what people often expect, vegan lunch recipes don’t just consist of vegetables & salad. Instead, there are hearty stews, delicious casseroles, or fresh summer rolls—and yes, a vegan pasta Bolognese is included too. So these are truly delicious and everyday vegan recipes you can quickly cook between work and your personal life. There are also a few more elaborate, special dishes that are perfect for a cozy cooking day with your loved ones.
The vegan main dishes are also often family-friendly—because our Veganuary recipes should taste great for everyone!

Vegan dinner

Here you’ll find the tastiest vegan rolls, wraps, and light salads. Vegan dinner recipes don’t have to be complicated at all. Sometimes, the good old open-faced sandwich is all you need! ;)

Vegan baking: sweets & cakes

Many people are afraid to bake with vegan ingredients. Understandable! After all, the most important ingredients in baking recipes are often animal-based ingredients like butter, eggs, and milk. But with these vegan baking ideas, that fear is completely unfounded. Our Veganuary recipes are developed so that you won’t even notice the eggs are missing and the butter is vegan. We work with clever tricks and delicious alternatives and create delicious cakes, muffins, crêpes & more!

One really important thing: Vetain is different from many other brands. We’re not only vegan—we also focus on natural flavors & sweetness and pay close attention to the ingredients in our products. That’s why our products can taste different from what you’re used to from animal-based products. Especially if you’ve often relied on very sweet products with artificial flavors in your everyday life, your taste buds may need a little time to get used to the natural, honest taste of our products. But in the spirit of the new year, now is the perfect time to try something new and experience Vetain’s vegan product world!

Psssst: Besides our Veganuary recipes, there are also special discount promotions in our shop. Feel free to stop by and get inspired.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Veganuary is a movement that inspires people all over the world to live vegan—that is, plant-based—for the first month of the year. The goal of Veganuary is to raise awareness of vegan nutrition, encourage more people to adopt a vegan lifestyle, and break down common prejudices. In addition, it draws attention to important topics such as the environment, animal welfare, and health.

    Yes! Definitely. Our Veganuary recipes are incredibly delicious, and there’s something for every taste. And what many people forget: vegan food is so much more than boiled vegetables and dry salad! By now, there’s a truly tasty vegan alternative for almost every dish that traditionally contains animal ingredients.

    That really depends on you. Some people find the transition very easy, while others struggle more and strongly miss certain foods. Feel free to remind yourself that your Veganuary doesn’t have to be perfect. For example, if you simply don’t want to give up cow’s milk in your coffee, that’s completely fine. In other Veganuary recipes, such as vegan cakes or overnight oats, you might find the transition much easier.
