Vegan Reuben and Spinach Salad Recipes
I’m a vegetarian who’s veganish, meaning I come very close to being vegan but not enough to be full fledge vegan. No matter if you’re a vegetarian, vegan or carnivore we can all benefit greatly from eating vegan as often as possible. Cutting out as much meat as you can provides a wealth of healthy benefits.
I’m not suggesting everyone become vegan, it’s not for everyone, but everyone can benefit from enjoying a vegan meal from time to time! I’m convinced that once you learn a few simple vegan recipes you too will become more and more veganish. Everyone’s different and what’s right for one is not right for all.
Today I will share with you one of my favorite meals, its delicious, its vegan and its extremely healthy!
