20+ Healthy Vegan Summer Recipes

Summer is the perfect time to focus on fresh, vibrant salads, smoothies and more so here are 20+ Healthy Vegan Summer Recipes you have to try! We’ve got a mix of smoothies and smoothie bowls, colourful salads, pasta highlighting summer tomatoes and basil and dishes to entertain.

During the summer months, I like to focus on eating what’s in season and at its prime. You’ll get maximum flavour and by eating produce grown locally in its natural season, we can reduce our carbon emissions and food waste!

Summer Smoothie Recipes

Smoothies are always an amazing way to enjoy fruit and keep cool. If you find yourself with an abundance of fruit and aren’t able to eat it in time, the best way to save it is to pop it into the freezer, and use it for smoothies later! Here are a few smoothie recipes and smoothie bowl recipes to try.

• Mango Creamsicle Smoothie
• Strawberries & Cream Smoothie Bowl
• Almond Joy Smoothie Bowl
• Everyday Green Smoothie
• Banana Cacao Recovery Smoothie (by Vegan Yack Attack)
• Vegan Cookie Dough Smoothie Bowl

Summer Salad Recipes

Salad is a classic summer go-to. They’re light, refreshing and extra delicious in the summertime when the produce is freshest. Take advantage of avocados, tomatoes, sweet summer corn, fruit (which is amazing in savoury salads too!) and get your greens in.
