But don’t worry, it’s a lot easier than it seems. I’ve found 101 delicious gluten-free vegan meals, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You’ve got options! While a vegan diet is often a choice, a gluten-free diet is a necessity for lots of people. Maybe you have coeliac disease or are gluten intolerant. Enter your email & we’ll send it to your inbox.

Or maybe you’ve just noticed a correlation between eating gluten and not feeling good, and you want to see if eliminating it alleviates your symptoms! So, what are we cutting out/avoiding to make these recipes gluten-free? Gluten is found in wheat, barley, rye and some oats (you can buy gluten-free oats). It is a protein that is extremely resistant to the enzymes in your digestive tract that break down food. Some people’s bodies have no problem breaking it down, but for those with coeliac disease, gluten intolerance or a wheat allergy, it causes health problems.
So what ingredients are both vegan AND gluten free?
Carbs: rice, corn and quinoa are all gluten-free and vegan! So while you will have to bid normal pasta farewell, you have options. Many gluten free pasta and bread alternatives are vegan, but you should always check the label because some use egg as a binding agent in lieu of gluten. Meat alternatives: Tofu, tempeh, quorn and soy protein are all good to go. Just avoid seitan because that is literally just made of vital wheat gluten! Again, check for use of egg as a binder, but most non-seitan meat alternatives should be fine. Legumes: legumes as a food group have the seal of approval. A great source of vegan gluten free protein, they will be your best friend. If you are giving up gluten for IBS reasons, maybe take the legumes slowly though, as they have also been known to…ahem…trouble…sensitive digestive tracts. Fruit and veggies: all good, pile ’em on! Milk alternatives: almost all good! Be careful with oat milk as some oats do contain gluten. The carton should specify if it is gluten free or not. I think that you should be empowered to choose veganism AND respect any medical condition you may have. These recipes will show you how!
