Veganuary is an initiative that promotes going vegan for the month of January, just in time to line up with everyone's New Year's resolutions of eating healthy and trying new things. The concept was started by a nonprofit organization of the same name based in the United Kingdom. Whether you're considering Veganuary as a dietary reset, are interested in going totally vegan, or just want to incorporate more veggies into your diet, Veganuary participants need to avoid animal products (meat, dairy, and eggs) and instead look to plant-based dishes. To make things easier, we've rounded up 31 delicious vegan dishes — one for every day of the month — to give you some cooking inspiration.
