Here are 21 tried and true low-carb vegan recipes that are delicious, healthy, and filling!
Did you make New Year resolutions for 2018?
Travis and I did! We plan to...
- Get up earlier
- Go on a walk together around the neighborhood every morning
- Watch less TV
- Spend more quality time together doing unplugged activities
- Grow our businesses
- Get outside more
We're doing pretty good so far but there's definitely room for improvement-- especially getting up earlier. It's so hard on these chilly mornings to get out of our warm toasty bed!
I know that losing weight and eating healthier meals is an important resolution for many people, so I thought that putting together a list of low-carb vegan recipes would be really helpful. It's so convenient to have a list of tried and true vegan recipes when you need dinner inspiration.

Ok, let's talk about carbs.
This is how I remember it:
Veggies that grow above the ground are generally low-carb and veggies that grow below ground are usually higher in starch and carbs.
I'm not a nutritionist so I can't tell you exactly what you should eat to lose weight, but I will tell you what works for my family. Generally, I build our plates to be ½ vegetables, ¼ plant-based protein (beans, tempeh, tofu, lentils, nuts, seeds, etc.), and ¼ carbohydrates.
However, I don't get extreme about it. If Travis wants to eat a whole plate of sauteed baby bok choy (his favorite!) that's totally fine with me!
I work in so many low-carb, cruciferous vegetables into our diet that it really doesn't concern me at all if we want to have our favorite potato-based broccoli cheese soup as the main course for dinner or if we eat too much creamy mac and cheese when we're craving comfort food.
On a daily basis, we try to eat as many of the following items as possible...
Low Carb Vegetables
- Cauliflower - Lemon Garlic Cauliflower Steaks
- Spinach
- Bell Peppers
- Lettuce
- Cucumbers
- Swiss Chard
- Celery
- Cabbage - Ginger Lime Asian Coleslaw
- Onions
- Asparagus
- Zucchini - Tomato Zucchini Pesto Bake
- Eggplant
- Leeks
- Brussel Sprouts
- Garlic
- Mushrooms - Creamy Mushroom Soup
- Radishes
- Kale
- Collard Greens
- Avocado
- Tomatoes
- Broccoli
- Green Beans
Low-Carb Nuts & Seeds
- Chia Seeds - Kiwi Mango Cherry Chia Seed Pudding
- Flax Seeds
- Walnuts
- Almonds
- Brazil Nuts
- Pumpkin Seeds
There are so many delicious veggie-loaded low-carb recipes on this list that will help you stay on track!

Copying and downloading each recipe in this lovely list is a real pain. Is there any chance you will offer this as an ebook? Or better yet printed? I'd gladly pay for the pleasure of having these recipes conveniently located without my having the copy and paste and download each one separately.
Hello! I wish I could put all these recipes in en ebook to make it easier for you, unfortunately, they're not all my recipes so I can't legally do that. Sorry for the inconvenience!
