Vegan Recipes: 10 Ingredients or Less

BBQ Tofu Pizza

vegan tofu pizza
We try to have a weekly pizza night at our house. My daughter loves creating her own pizza! Sometimes we order the amazing vegan pizza from Mellow Mushroom, but most of the time we like to make our own. Each time I go to the grocery store I am constantly amazed at all of the new plant based products hitting the shelves. Vegan options are in high demand, and it is very exciting to see. I love creating vegan pizza recipes, and this time I decided to try some new products.
vegan pizza crust
The toppings you use on your pizza can make or break the recipe, but I believe the right crust makes all the difference. I have used several different kinds of crusts in my recipes, but when I stumbled upon this product at Whole Foods, I had no idea it would end up being my preferred crust for future pizzas.

Years ago when I first became vegan I was devouring documentaries and watching as many as I could. I remember watching the Forks Over Knives Engine 2 Kitchen Rescue with Rip Esselstyn, so I was super excited to see this Engine 2 pizza crust!


Rip is the Engine 2 founder. He is also a former firefighter, premier triathlete, and All-American swimmer. When he was with the Austin Fire Department, he introduced the whole foods plant based diet and helped rescue a firefighting brother's health. This birthed the best selling book, The Engine 2 Diet. In 2009 Rip teamed up with Whole Foods Market as one of their Healthy Eating Partners and continues to raise awareness about the benefits of a whole foods plant base diet through books, speaking engagements, podcasts, a phenomenal food line, and so much more.

The pizza crust is excellent! It delivers the pizzeria taste with plant based, non-GMO ingredients.

Vegan Taco Pizza

Vegan Taco Pizza
Last week was an exciting week. It's always great to receive product samples, and I was anticipating my package from VIVOTRIBE. The company makes ready-to-eat organic beans with flavors like Chimichurri, Pad Thai, and Miso Ginger. I was extremely impressed with the products, and I will do a seperate review post soon.

The first one I sampled was the Chimichurri. It's high in protein and packed with fresh flavors like organic parsley, organic cilantro, organic garlic, and fresh organic black beans.

​The delicious flavors immediately reminded me of tacos, but I had decided to make
vegan pizza for dinner. So, I decided to combine my love for both foods, and I created a taco pizza. 

This is a quick and easy vegan recipe. You can use your creativity to customize it, and make it your own. I look forward to hearing from you!

BBQ Seitan Pizza

Seitan Pizza
I have been on a seitan kick lately. We made vegan quesadillas using it, and that was a huge success. Since it was pizza night, I thought, why not give it a try on a pizza? The results had me thinking, "Why didn't I think of this sooner?" I mean, my BBQ chick'n pizza was the best by far, until I made this pizza. It is now my favorite and my husband's absolute favorite as well. He actually asked me to make it for lunch the next day, too.

Although this dish tastes absolutely amazing, I had to change a few things once I started calculating the nutrition information. The only thing I do not like about the recipe is that it is 900 mg of sodium per serving. YIKES! When I am shopping in stores, if I want to buy a packaged meal I always make sure the sodium is less than 500 mg per serving, If it's more than that, then I won't buy it. So basically, I would not purchase this pizza at the store because of the sodium content.

Granted, we barely consume sodium in our diet. The recommended daily allowance for sodium is between 1500 mg-2300 mg per day according to the American Heart Association, but then again that same organization also recommends eating meat and dairy so....Anyway, since I don't consume much sodium daily, I was not worried too much about the sodium content this time. But, for those watching their sodium intake I would: (a) cut the serving of cheese and seitan in half the next time I make it and use a different crust (the Stonefire Naan crust was 440 mg of sodium per serving) (b) make my own seitan and crust.

The best thing about this pizza is what I top it with after it comes out of the oven, Ol' Dirty Sheets Hot Sauce! I received a bottle of it in my swag bag when I spoke at The Cleveland Vegfest in Ohio. This stuff is the absolute truth! I use it on pizza, burritos, steamed veggies, etc. I need to get more because my bottle is on it's last leg. If you love hot sauce, this brand is unlike any brand I have ever tasted. You have to try it for yourself. You''ll thank me later.

Spicy Guacamole Pizza

Guacamole Pizza
According to statistics, over 3 billion pizzas are sold in the U.S. each year. I know I have eaten a lot of pizza in my lifetime, but after becoming vegan I gained a whole new appreciation for pizza pies. I enjoy making vegan pizza recipes and experimenting with different ingredients so I was really looking forward to incorporating guacamole instead of using traditional pizza sauce. 
Vegan cheese and spinach pizza
We always look forward to pizza night, and this is the pizza my five year-old daughter made. I have had several people contact me asking how they can get their children to eat the vegan food they prepare. One of the main suggestions I give is to allow them to be part of the entire process. Whether it's shopping for ingredients or preparing the meal, allow them to help! Pizza is a great kid-friendly vegan recipe, and fun for the entire family. Everyone can customize their own pizza.

I was at Whole Foods and saw the Thai Basil Slow Roasted Chick'n. I have used Tofurky in many of my recipes; however, this is the first time I noticed the Thai Basil version. I was beyond excited to try it out, and since I wanted to make a pizza I knew I had found my main ingredient.

I really like great burritos, tacos, and nachos. I also enjoy pizza! So, I combined some of my favorite ingredients from these dishes and came up with this tasty pizza recipe. This recipe is very filling and packed with loads of flavor. 
Picture
When I make a pizza, I usually try to incorporate kale, spinach, or avocado into the recipe. They both have amazing health benefits. Kale is high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and it's also been show to help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Avocados are high in fiber, contain more potassium than bananas, and they are good for your bones, skin, and heart.

Greek Pizza

After having an amazing Greek pizza from Blue Moon Pizza the other day, I was inspired to make my own. I normally use Daiya Mozzarella Style Shreds in my recipes, but this time I decided to try Vegan Gourmet cheese to see if there is a difference between the two. 
Picture
The Vegan Gourmet Shreds do not melt or stretch as well as the Daiya Mozzarella Style Shreds, but I made it work! The pizza still tasted great, and the overall ingredients meshed together superbly Next time, I will use Daiya.
