Vegan eats at Juniper Kitchen in Dover, NH!

Had a hard time deciding what to get because everything sounded so good, so we went with avo toast and an A-BLT, plus a side of tempeh bacon and a container of tofu egg salad to take home. All vegan, all sounding way too good to pass up. 🥑

🥑 Avo Toast with mashed avocado, sea salt, EVOO, h**p hearts, cashew crema, toasted pepitas, and pickled onions on thick sourdough.

Tempeh 'Bacon' on the side for a little extra smoky goodness.

A-BLT with avocado, house-made tempeh bacon, lettuce, tomato, and roasted garlic aioli on lightly toasted sourdough. Such a good combo!

Egg-Free Tofu Egg Salad to-go because we couldn't leave without trying one more thing.

Always love finding spots with this many good vegan options. 💚🌿

Falafel salad bowl was killin it! 🌱💚

Crispy, herby falafel piled on a bed of locally grown fresh greens with juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, briny olives, bell pepper, and a drizzle of creamy tahini lemon sauce to bring it all together. Fresh and atisfying without feeling too heavy. 🤤 🌿✨ Easy vegan lunchieee.

A vegan steak came and went. 🌱 MM Beef gifted me one of their plant-based Wagyu steaks, and I was pretty stoked to give this one a try.

It came frozen, so we tossed it in the air fryer with some fresh herbs and sea salt, then made a side of roasted carrots and herby little potatoes.

Y'all, this was such a unique thing to try... The steak has that marbled look and a rich, savory vibe that made this meal feel a little different from our usual vegan eats. Not typically one to gravitate towards meat substitutes, but I would def go for this again.

I love when plant-based food gets weird and creative in the best way. 🤘Although it was shared, and could feed two people, I think I'd just eat one whole steak for myself next time. 🫠 Would def try this with a sauce as well...

Huge thanks to MMBF for gifting me this one! Always down to try something new and see what kind of plant-based magic I can make happen. 🌱🖤

A fresh little vegan lunch surrounded by nature 🌿🍂 Had the Red Frill Bowl at the New England Botanic Garden Farmer and the Fork cafe, and it was SO yummy.

Red frill mustard greens, baby arugula, pickled apples, dried cherries, maple candied pumpkin seeds, and roasted pear vinaigrette, topped with a double portion of spiced tofu because yumm... Fresh, colorful, a little sweet, and full of flavor. All locally sourced.

Enjoyed it out on their outdoor patio overlooking all the beautiful nature views. Good food, fresh air, and a moment to slow down and reflect. 🌱✨

It was an Indian food kind of night 🌶️🌱 with this cozy dinner at India Masala House on High Street in Brattleboro, VT.

We shared:

🐼🥦 Vegetable Pakora with crispy chickpea batter, pickled onion & chutney. Yum yum.
🐼🌶️ Vegetable Kadai with seasonal veggies, Kashmir chili & garam masala. Slightly spicy, cozy, full of flavor.
🐼🥔 Aloo Gobhi with cauliflower, turmeric, cumin & coriander. Simple and very satisfying.
🐼🫓 Fresh naan baked right in the clay oven because obviously we needed something to scoop everything up with.

The two entrees came with rice as well and was plenty for two people + we were also given a complimentary drink for digestion before the meal, which was a nice way to kick things off. I think it was nannari (a bit like root b**r we were told.)

Full of spice, flavor, and all the comforting food vibes. Great atmosphere as well - super relaxing, clean, friendly staff, and timely water refills which is always niiiice.🌶️

🌊 🥑 If you're spending the day at Hampton Beach, definitely make time for a stop at The Green Room ! You won't regret it. It's just a quick walk from the ocean, so it's pretty hard to resist a stop for something fresh, colorful, and seriously delicious. 🌴🖤

Recommended by thevegpanda:

🐼🌿 OG Toastie on Local Sourdough - smashed avocado, juicy cherry tomatoes, fresh basil + balsamic drizzle. Crispy sourdough, creamy avocado, bright tomatoes and that little hit of balsamic. So damn good. (Ask for no feta to make it vegan.)

🐼🌿 Smoothie Bowl - spinach, banana, peanut butter & almond milk topped with strawberries, bananas, blueberries + coconut. Cold, creamy, fruity, and loaded with all the good stuff. (Ask for no granola to make it vegan.)

🐼🌿 Vegan Egg Sandwich Special - a vegan omelet with bell peppers, red onion + vegan cheese, plus I added avocado because there's really no such thing as too much avocado. 🥑

BRB... already planning my next beach day just so I have an excuse to come back. 😂 🌊✌️

🌯💚🐼 TWO ways to make a simple VEGAN RANCH WRAP!

If you love a crispy, crunchy, ranchy wrap... you need to try BOTH of these...

✨ WAY #1: Crispy Tofu Ranch Wraps
Cut a block of extra-firm tofu into triangles, then lightly coat with cornstarch + your favorite seasonings. Give them a quick pan-fry until golden and crispy. 🤤

✨ WAY #2: Easy Vegan Chick'n Ranch Wraps
Grab your favorite frozen vegan chick'n, cook according to the package directions, and you're ready to go! This is the perfect option when you want something quick and easy.

🌯 For BOTH versions:
• Soft flour tortillas
• Chopped lettuce 🥬 or any greens you dig
• Plum or cherry tomatoes 🍅 + cucumbers if u like 🥒
• Crispy tofu OR vegan chick'n
• A generous drizzle of vegan ranch 🤍
• Extra seasoning if you're feeling fancy!

Roll it up, cut it in half, and prepare to wonder why you didn't make two. 😂

💡 TOFU TIP: Don't skip the cornstarch! It gives the tofu that lightly crispy coating without needing a heavy breading.

Which one are you making - TOFU or VEGAN CHICK'N? 🐼
