Better and Stronger, that’s what the vegan motto should be. As someone who frequents the gym, it was a bit scary switching to veganism as all that I heard prior about the lifestyle was that continuing to eat enough protein was very difficult.
I’m grateful I ignored that, cause the truth is there’s so much protein to be had in a vegan diet! This fact makes post-workout meals so much better, as you can be healthy and get stronger all at the same time!
If you’re looking for simple, yet effective, post-workout dinners you can turn to for vegan gains, here are 8 I’d recommend.
Let’s get into it:
Chickpea, Mango, and Curried Cauliflower Salad
This salad can be pre-made and saved for every post-workout meal, whether it be a filling afternoon lunch or a savoury and sweet dinner!
Quinoa Stuffed Poblano Peppers
Low maintenance and delicious. Add some hot peppers on this to add even more of a kick.
Vegan Butternut Squash and Tempeh Tacos
Add some spice to your post-workout routine with some healthy and protein-packed tacos.
Banana Ice Cream
Sometimes it’s nice just to have a little treat after a rigorous session, and this delicious banana ice cream will certainly do the trick!
Raw Lasagna With Cashew Cheese and Pesto
This is perfect for when you’re sweaty and tired and don’t want to slave over a stove for even one second!

Remember, physical exercise is only half the battle—eating right brings it all full circle. And healthy eating and exercising go hand-in-hand because, when you put your body to the test, you’ve got to reward it and refuel it later.
