One of the fastest routes to brightening your day is brightening your plate. A well-presented plate of plant-based food can turn even the most determined frown upside down. Food is a mood enhancer and can be the joyous link between friends and family. Take note next time you put a delicious-looking dish onto the tables. The faces around you will light up!

This week, we’ve got some great vegan cuisine photos in store for you, collected from the bountiful galleries of Instagram’s dedicated foodies. We’ve got cakes, soups and so much more to show, delightful morsels to brighten up your day.

Ready? Let’s dig right in!

 

Our first pick of the week belongs to @connoisseurusveg, presenting these bright and sunny tofu tacos. The way the light stays on these delectable portions really enhances their appeal. The contrast between the smoothness of the shell and the dynamic texture of the tofu makes it all the more aesthetically-pleasing.

 

 

Have you ever tried a vegan parfait? Traditional parfait uses eggs, but plant-based alternatives are much more delicious. If you’ve never tried one, maybe @zesty_zahra’s chia, berry and choco combo will inspire you. A well-blended parfait is a great way to start off the day, and this one inspires us to make our own tasty puree dishes.

 

 

Soups are one of those meals that are enjoyed by many cultures all over the world. A lot of plant-based soup dishes are also prepared in various restaurants and eateries across the globe. Like bread, they’re an almost universal dish. @leafy_cauldron’s vivid green zucchini dish follows up on that tradition by presenting a delightful veggie soup with a list of ingredients.

 

 

@plantnats presents this chunky plant-based and wholly eggless green egg sandwich, proof that you don’t need animal products to make your meals shine. We’re loving the organic textures and colors of this great dish. We can only imagine what it must taste like, with all the great pesto, turmeric and other such ingredients mixed together in one’s mouth.

 

 

Our final pick of the week belongs to @myvegansweet2th, presenting a wondrous slice of raw vegan blueberry cheesecake. Raw vegan desserts have a certain kick to them that’s hard to ignore. The symmetrical presentation of this raw delight, combined with its lighting, makes it all the more delightful.

That’s it for this week, be sure to visit us next Friday for another great batch of vegan food photos. Want to showcase your own creations? Just add the hashtags #FoodFriday and #VacationingVegan on your future IG vegan food photos, and who knows, maybe your creation will be featured in a future blog!
