Nothing is better than some warm butternut squash ravioli with a sage butter sauce, but if you eat that every day as your winter comfort food of choice you’ll end up racking up some unwanted weight. Here are some healthy winter dishes that will get you through the next couple months of winter without the guilt that most of these meals give you after.
Hearty Vegan Chili
Make a nice big pot of chili and you’ll have lunch or dinner for the week. I like to add chopped carrots and some avocado for a healthy fat. Recipe here.
Pot Pie
Make it with vegetable broth, a healthy flour of your choice (quinoa flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour), and add a protein of your liking (tofu or chicken). Recipe here.
Thai Peanut Sauce Spaghetti Squash
Squash is in season, and what could be better than mixing that and your favorite Thai dish? Extra crushed peanuts please! Recipe here.
Butternut Squash and Purple Potato Latkes
If you are looking to make them vegan, sub the eggs for flax eggs. To make it a little healthier, bake them in the oven rather than frying them in a pan. Recipe here.
The Best Vegan Eggnog
Forget the egg, forget the dairy, and forget everything you know about eggnog and try this thick and creamy winter drink. Recipe here.
Vegan Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie
Thanksgiving and Christmas may be over, but that doesn’t mean your craving for pumpkin pie will go away. Though you may be skeptical about a vegan, gluten-free dessert, once you try it you won’t even know the difference. Recipe here.
