You can give your search engine a break, wipe the panicky sweat from your brow, and calm it down. We’ve got you covered for every possible dish that Thanksgiving demands from you—no animals harmed, to boot!
Pumpkin Smoothie
It’s Thanksgiving morning, and you have a LOT of work to do. Start the day right with a healthy sweet and spicy smoothie … that basically tastes like ice cream. WIN.
Vegan Buttery Beer
OK, fine, this bevy is recommended year-round but just so happens to taste better when wearing a scarf with fall leaves on the ground. TRUST US.
No-Egg Nog … Neggnog?
Cornbread Muffins
BEWARE: You may stuff your face with these before ever making it to the main meal. Remember: Thanksgiving’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Cranberry ‘Chicken’ Salad
When I tell you this is to die for, I mean prepare for loss of consciousness around the dinner table. You have been warned.
Grilled Tofu and Veggie Kabobs
Ahem, yeah, these taste out of this world and are healthy and whatnot—but they’re so pretty, you basically can’t Instagram your #foodporn without them on your plate. Always thinking ahead, people.
Caramelized Garlic Lemon Broccoli
#SorryNotSorry, you gotta get your greens in! YES, even on Thanksgiving. Don’t fret—some nooch, lemon, and garlic make broccoli taste like the gift Mother Earth gave us.
If you’re anything like me and feel that dessert is a top priority, you’ll want to make sure you can feast on your meal and still have some room left over. Sub cauliflower for potatoes to get the same high of mashed taters without the heaviness of 47 potatoes in your tummy. Shake it up!
Apple Cider Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Prefer sweet and savory at the same dang time? If you’re a fan of kombucha, you will l♥ve this recipe! #Health
Mom’s Mashed Potatoes
OMG, fine! Classic mashed potatoes are classic for a reason. Just YUM.
Classic Thanksgiving Stuffing
Last but not least, the carb-loaded, heartwarming, Thanksgiving-exclusive vegan stuffing. You can find vegan stuffing at your local health-food store, but if you basically live in Pawnee, Indiana, we’ve got you covered with this recipe. Got leftovers?
Yep, for most Americans, this means carved-up, cooked turkey flesh. But we don’t want dead animals as a centerpiece for anything, let alone to be gnawed on for the sake of tradition. Gross. Luckily, there’s no need to feel left out, thanks to innovative, compassionate companies that make vegan turkey substitutes. Not convinced that turkeys are friends, not food? Check out this adorable blog post!
Don’t know where to find a Tofurky roast? We’ve mapped it out for you here.
Not much of a mock-meat fan? Don’t fret. Try these instead:
Sweet Potato Mac and Cheese
Because mac and cheese. #ChildForever
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
Don’t be fooled. This soup is a main course type o’ soup. And it’s the color of autumn. ♥
Stuffed Acorn Squash
Why ON EARTH would anyone shove a hand up a dead bird’s butt when you could stuff an adorable, delicious acorn squash instead? Believe me when I say that stuffing squash with anything will make your guests squee—no bowl required!
Pumpkin Pie
OK, you’re basically disqualified from Thanksgiving ever again if you don’t show up with a pumpkin pie, but this pie wins at life because no animals had to die for it. #BasicVegan
Double Layer Vegan Pumpkin ‘Cheesecake’
Chocolate-Dipped Holiday Cookies
OK, the savory part of Thanksgiving is over (i.e., it’s time to make holiday cookies). Right there with you—step aside, Thanksgiving pumpkins, and get me on that peppermint train.
Soy Nog Cupcakes
Finish off your Thanksgiving feast the way you started it—in cupcake form. You’re welcome. ♥
