35 Easy Plant-Based Recipes for One

Are you looking for healthy, delicious, plant-based recipes that make only one serving? This collection of 35 Easy Plant-Based Recipes for one provide inspiration in all categories, from breakfast to dessert.

Isn’t it frustrating when you’re cooking for one, and the recipe makes eight servings? Then you’re stuck with a huge batch of leftovers you have to make your way through for the rest of the week. Sure, you can do the math and cut recipes down for size, but sometimes it’s difficult when you’re working with package sizes. And who wants to get out the calculator on your phone anyway? The good news is that plant-based eating for one can be easy, if recipes are pared down for single servings to begin with. In fact, I have gotten this request so many times, I’ve made a goal of creating a plant-based cookbook for one in the near future! That’s why I asked some of my favorite food bloggers to share their top plant-based (vegan) recipes for one in this amazing bunch of recipes today. I’m sharing some of my top recipes for one too. Bon appetit!

Eat and Live Well,
