30-Minute Frugal Vegan Recipes: Fast, Flavorful Plant-Based Meals on a Budget
By Melissa Copeland

Think eating vegan is hard on the wallet? Think again. Melissa Copeland, the self-proclaimed Stingy Vegan, is on a mission to prove that cooking vibrant plant-based meals doesn’t have to break the bank.

Main dishes like Veggie-Packed Mexican Rice, Coconut-Lentil Curry, and Smoky Mushroom Fajitas are the perfect balance of quick to prepare, flavorful, and economical. Fruity Granola Yogurt Parfaits or Blistered Cherry Tomatoes and Beans on Garlic Toast make breakfast a cinch, and frugal staples like beans and pasta are transformed into mouthwatering meals like Garlicky Spring Vegetable Pasta, Black Bean Salsa Burgers, and Bee-Free Honey Mustard Chickpea Salad Sandwiches.

With these irresistible recipes, busy home cooks can skip expensive vegan substitutes and pricey health food stores, all while enjoying nourishing meals that are as pleasing to the palate as they are easy on the bank account.
