Whatever your reason is for going vegan, know this: just because you're giving up eggs, meat, poultry, seafood, and dairy, doesn't mean the plant-based diet you choose to consume can't be indulgent. Your meals aren't drab β they can be delicious if you know where to find the right vegan products. Vegan mac and cheese? So cheesy. Vegan pumpkin spice Oreo cheesecake? Flavorful to say the least. Now, let's take a minute to talk about nachos.
You can make dairy-free, meat-less nachos no problem. There's a variety of vegan cheese out there with gloriously-gooey-sauce potential. When it comes to toppings, you won't run out of plant-based options, like jalapenos, avocado, olives, salsa, and Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo, that bring tons of flavor. Read on for some quality plates we found on Instagram, and get a little bit of kitchen inspiration for a rainy (or any) day.
