However, with new culinary innovations and the availability of vegan substitutes for cheese and meat, some crazy vegan foods are available such as the Impossible Burger. Here are some of the best looking vegan sandwiches on Instagram.

Crunchwrap

You probably won’t believe that this homemade crunchwrap by Platnifully Based is vegan at first sight—it looks like beef just dripping with cheese. But believe it or not, it is undoubtedly the healthiest and most eco-friendly crunchwrap that you will see in your life.

Chicken Katsu Sandwich

If you asked anyone on this street what was on this sandwich by Beleaf Burgers, they would say fried chicken. But what you are actually seeing is the crispiest, most beautiful piece of tofu that we will be privileged to see in our lifetime

Pinto Bean Burger

The guacamole looks like it’s to die for. The pinto bean burger patty looks like it has some undeniable crunch. And that bread looks like it’s from a baker’s dream. This burger is bound to make you hungry. 

Maple Tofu Sandwich

It looks like a slab of ham, but it’s really maple fried tofu. If that doesn’t make your mouth water, just look at how fresh those tomatoes are.

Vitamin B-12

B12 is one of the vitamins you need to survive, playing an essential role in the production of your red blood cells and DNA and the function of your nervous system. There are also no plant-based sources of it, so it’s one supplement you’ll definitely need to pick up if you’re becoming a vegan.

Vitamin D

While vitamin D is super important, helping keep your bones healthy and strong, most people are deficient in it, and it’s especially hard to get enough on a plant-based diet. You can get some vitamin D from the sun, but it won’t meet your needs, so supplementing is a good idea.

Iron

Because your body has a harder time absorbing plant-based sources of iron, vegans are at risk of having low iron levels, which help your body to make enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen.

Case in point: Michaela Vais’ food blog ElaVegan. A food stylist and recipe creator, Vais is passionate about healthy vegan food. Her online platform includes recipes for healthy and delicious vegan dishes that are also mostly sugar-free, gluten-free, and easy to make.

You will find desserts such as cakes and brownies, as well as main dishes and even fast food-turned vegan. “My goal is to show that eating plant-based food is healthy, delicious, good for our bodies and for our planet,” writes Vais on her website. “I believe the food Mother Nature created for us was not meant to harm our bodies, our planet and kill billions of innocent animals.”

According to Vais she stopped eating meat by the age of 6, and became a strict vegan much later, in 2011. “Going vegan was the best decision in my life,” she writes. “Knowing that I don’t participate in the torture and exploitation of farm animals brought inner peace to myself. I feel much more energized since eating plant-based food, I lost some weight and I cured my cystic acne!”

Scrolling through her Instagram page is quite the mouth-watering experience.

Do not despair! This super easy, super cheesy, totally delicious and dairy-free white sauce recipe will have your guests and friends in complete disbelief that it’s not the real thing!

To start with, simply heat a little oil in a pan, and add a couple of tablespoons of white flour. Mix into a paste over the heat until it becomes bubbly and golden. Then slowly pour in about half a cup of soy milk, stirring it in as you go to make it thick and rich.

At this point, you can also add a handful of vegan cheese, although this is totally optional. If you are adding cheese, add it bit by bit, so it melts slowly into the mixture.

Keep stirring and adding soy milk until the sauce is deliciously thick and gooey. Then add salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of nutmeg. You can also add a sprinkle of garlic powder if that’s your thing!

If you’re pouring it over a dish before baking, you can also add a scattering of breadcrumbs, to make it even more delicious and rich.

Or, you know, just eat it straight from the pot with a spoon. We won’t judge.

What’s Plant-Based Meat?

The ingredients in plant-based meat differ across brands, but basically the texture and taste of ground beef are replicated by using plant proteins made of soy, peas, beans, rice, and wheat. To achieve the pink color of beef, pomegranate juice, fruit powder, and other fruits and vegetables are used.

Nutrients

The amount of protein in plant-based meat and 80% lean ground beef doesn’t differ—they both contain around 20 grams of protein per 4-ounce patty. Plant-based meat does have fewer calories and fat and it has no cholesterol. But, it has more sodium than real beef—370 to 580 mg compared to 80 mg in unseasoned meat.

Where Can You Find It?

In supermarkets, plant-based meats are usually found next in the refrigerator meat case next to real beef. They also don’t differ significantly in price to real beef.

With the popularity of plant-based meat alternatives, many restaurants and fast-food chains have plant-based options on their menu. But, if you’re vegetarian or vegan, make sure before you order the burger to ask how it is prepared to avoid cross-contamination.

How Do You Cook It?

If you know how to cook ground beef, you know how to prepare plant-based meats as they are cooked the same. Just refer to the packaging for specific tips and cooking temperatures. Be aware that not all plant-based meats will turn dark brown like real meat does.

A lot of people seemed disappointed with the account’s choice to change the format of the recipe to incorporate ingredients that weren’t plant-based, but more than anything, people were confused. Everyone, later on, found out that head of the account was experiencing a lot of negative side effects from eating a plant-based diet, such as digestion problems, low B12, and iron, as well as hair loss.

After this announcement, some people became more understanding, as they really should. No one should have room to judge another person’s diet, and the most important thing is to always listen to your body. For now, almost all the recipes on the account are still plant based, but in the upcoming weeks it will change to have regular gluten-free recipes with animal product additions.
