When it comes to delicious vegan foods, we just love a dish that combines deliciousness with aesthetics. “Aesthetics” can cover a lot of different details, from the coloring of the greens to the viscosity of the sauce. However, even the most unadorned of vegan dishes have their own aesthetic beauty, an all-green austerity that we just love. Welcome to this week’s Food Friday blog!

This week, we’ve selected five great vegan dishes by the great foodies of Instagram, vegan delights that embody elegance in simplicity, from mouth-watering tofu to gratifying smoothies.

Have we piqued your palate? Let’s dig right in!

 

Our first vegan food pick is from @bodymindhealthtalk, presenting a lovely pair of rye toasts spread with peanut butter and raspberry chia jam. Who says peanut butter and jelly is old hat? When making snacks with a vegan’s innovation, you’ll be sure to enjoy classic meals in a new and different way. There’s even a short recipe for the chia jam included with the post! We can’t wait to make our own PB and RCJ bites to savor at home.

 

 

@izzy_vegan presents this appetizing stuffed sweet potato dish. The melt-in-your mouth sensation of this delicious vegetable is made more remarkable by a sprinkle of chia seeds, the addition of almond butter, and of course, the pleasant mouthfeel of blueberries. Paired with a short list of ingredients, this dish looks like something that’s quick to create yet satisfying all the same.

 

 

Tofu is such a versatile ingredient. Not only is it a healthy meat substitute, but it’s also a delicious viand in its own right. @narrow_road_777’s pan-fried tofu dish certainly proves that. These bean curd squares are flavored by homemade chili jam garlic and black vinegar sauce, with green herbs scattered atop it to add to the taste.

What do you prefer for #breakfast? Sweet or savory? I have times when I prefer to eat savory and times when I prefer to eat sweet. I listen entirely to what my body wants. I'm currently in a hearty phase. 😅 Today's breakfast was this #toast with #hummus, #Avocado, #hempseeds, a splash of lemmon and some black pepper. Perfect start in a busy week. Would you like to eat this? Have a nice Monday Lovelies 😘 . . . #vegan#veganfood#veganfoodporn#veganfoodshare#veganrecipe#veganlife#vegangermany#vegandeutschland#whatveganseat#plantbased#healthyfood#healthylifestyle#healthybreakfastideas #instafood#bestofvegan#vegangermany#veganwerdenwaslosdigga#veganfoodspace#plantpower#vegansofig#vegankannjeder#diewocheaufinstagram#onthetable

Let’s supplement our visual breakfasts further with @the_veganarian’s great avocado toast! Combined with a hummus spread, black pepper, hemp seeds and a lemon squeeze, this breakfast bite is sure to provide a unique savory experience. Avocado is such an iconic vegan breakfast dish, don’t you agree?

 

 

Our final Food Friday pick of the week belongs to @feeling_fresh, and boy do we feel fresh just admiring this cold vegan smoothie! It’s an red all-green dessert, made from frozen fruits such as the berries crowning this cool smoothie glass. Whether it’s the start of the week or the end of it, a smoothie is never not a great way to revitalize your body and gratify your tastebuds.
