Healthy Vegan Spreads

When switching to a plant-based diet there will always be certain things that we used to eat before and now are desperately looking for alternatives. Healthy vegan spreads to put on your toast in the morning are definitely one of them. Thanks to the recent boom in vegan products, more and more supermarket chains in bigger cities carry vegan spreads like cheese-free pestos, olive tapenade, peanut butter etc. However, if you’re looking for healthy and wholesome plant-based spreads that aren’t full of additives, refined sugar, palm-oil, sodium and gluten, the struggle is real. Many of my followers have requested healthy vegan spreads for awhile now, that’s why I decided to finally dedicate a whole post & video to give you guys some tasty options! 🙂

The great thing about all of these 6 healthy vegan spreads is that you’ll only need about 4-5 ingredients each and it will take you only about 5 minutes to make them! How great is that? You can literally whip them up freshly in the morning, prepare the ingredients the night before and store them for later use in the fridge! 🙂 All you’ll need is a high-speed blender and voilà!

Personally, I have a very sweet tooth so I like to start my day sweet, but, since many of you guys (including my boyfriend) feel the opposite way I decided to also include a whole variety of savoury spreads.

There already are a few amazing and very simple spreads that you can add to the list, like my delicious Cashew Cream Cheese or 2-way-Hummus, but these 6 spreads are next level tasty and a great addition to your daily meals or party platters.

Feel free to chose between sweet & creamy Nutella, cherry chia jam, such as savoury turmeric-bean, avocado-tahini, lentil-sun-dried-tomato and beetroot-sunflower spreads! 🙂 So simple yet so delicious. Of course, all of them are oil-free, gluten-free, wholesome, naturally sweetened and amazingly healthy. And the most fun part, as always, is to decorate them with your favourite fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds.

If you decide to give these beauties a try, let me know! Leave a comment and rate it – it’s so helpful to me and other readers. And don’t forget to take a picture and tag it #thetastyk on Instagram! I love seeing what you come up with. Cheers and enjoy!
