10+ Healthy Vegan ALDI Recipes You Need to Try!
Healthy Vegan Aldi Recipes that are easy to prepare, frugal, and family friendly. These plant based Aldi dinner recipes are perfect for anybody on a budget, searching for healthy recipes, or on a weight loss journey.
Do you enjoy healthy recipes on a budget?
Me too!
I always shop at Aldi, which saves a lot of money on groceries. The recipes below are adjustable to your budget and taste. Pick the vegetables that are on sale, in season, or that you enjoy. I add lentils or beans to almost every dinner for protein, fiber, and other important minerals.
You don’t have to call yourself a ‘vegan’ to try these Vegan Aldi Recipes and enjoy the health benefits of a plant based diet. Most of my recipes average between $1.40 and $1.70 per plate which is very affordable.
Most of the vegan Aldi recipes below (especially #3 and #6) are freezable. You can cook larger portions and use meal prep containers to store the food in the freezer. Place the containers in the fridge the night before use. I also like to cook larger portions to have lunch for the next day.
