There’s a lot of things for you to look forward to, during the coming holiday season. From vegan tours to Christmas dinners, the end of the year is always full of great events to prepare for. After all, it’s nice to celebrate life every now and then. Welcome to this week

This week, we’ve got an exciting assortment of food photos to show you, gathered from the galleries of Instagram’s dedicated foodies. We’ve got marshmallows, pastas and so much more for you to feast your eyes on.

Ready? Let’s dig right in!

 

Our first pick of the week belongs to @nathaniel.vasquez, presenting a wondrous protein smoothie bowl, full of acai, berries and other nutritious goodies. A smoothie bowl provides both a good breakfast and a post-exercise meal. The way you start your mornings can affect your demeanor for the rest of the day, so if you exercise early in the morning, this kind of bowl will be great for you.

 

 

Next up is @my_nourishing_plates with their bright plate of vegan carbonara. Using a variety of plant-based ingredients, this dish rebuilds a meat and dairy dish into a purely vegan delight, topped off with fresh broccoli and mushrooms. We’d love to make a plate of great vegan carbonara one day.

 

 

Who wants soup? Well, thanks to @emilylin_twotreesjewel’s delicious photo, we want some too! This lentil and veggie tomato soup is enhanced by the presence of pasta, a wonderful addition that makes a soup heartier and more filling. During the cold months, a nice hot soup can really get you through the windy nights.

 

 

@toastdpdx presents a colorful assortment of vegan marshmallows, presented in bright and vivid hues. We do love eating colorful and eye-catching desserts, because the explosion of flavor matches the visuals of the meal. It’s always nice to make and eat vegan meals that are pleasant to look at.

 

 

Our final pick of the week belongs to @raw_makiko, presenting a trio of raw vegan chocolate cookie bars. Raw vegan desserts are always a delight to discover and eat, and these bars look absolutely stunning. The great thing about raw desserts is that they’re quite healthy and look to look at, perfect for the conclusion to this week’s gallery.

That’s it for this week. Be sure to visit us next week for a fresh batch of great vegan cuisine photos to admire and be inspired by. Interested in showcasing your own vegan creations?
