Looking for some incredible vegan recipes for one person? I’ve got you covered with these top 25 vegan meals for one person recipes in a variety of categories, including one pot vegan meals, vegan meal prep, stew and soup recipes, main dish and bowl recipes, and sandwich recipes.
I have gotten so many requests over the years for vegan recipes that serve only one person. In fact, it’s on my list to write a book on this topic! I get it, when I spend periods of time on my own, the last thing I want to do is prepare a large batch for dinner and try to finish eating it over the next week. It can get so boring! Even if you’re eating meals with two people in your home (my standard setting), large batches that serve 8-12 can seem daunting. The worst part of preparing overly large meals is that it can encourage food waste. Sure, you can always divide a recipe into smaller portions to freeze, then grab and enjoy later, but sometimes it’s just nice to start with a smaller yield to begin with. That’s why I asked some of my favorite food bloggers to share their best recipes that create meals for one. I’m also sharing a bunch of my own favorite plant based meals for one in this collection. Each recipe makes about 1-2 servings, so they can be easy, go-to recipes for your meals for one during the week—no math needed to recalculate the ingredients. You’ll find soup and stew recipes, main dish recipes, side dish recipes, wraps and sandwich recipes, and bowl recipes—all serving one!
