There are plenty of benefits when it comes to veganism, from its positive environmental impact to its many health benefits. But becoming vegan isn’t something that most people can achieve overnight—and that’s okay! For some, cutting out animal products can happen immediately, whereas for others, giving up meat can be a little more difficult. ​

​Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and one of the most difficult things about being a vegan is these types of large gatherings that focus on food. Unless your friends and family are vegan as well or are willing to accommodate to your plant-based lifestyle, your best bet is to bring a dish that you’ll not only love to eat, but one that’s also great for sharing to show your loved ones how delicious vegan food is. This is, of course, unless you decide to host a fully vegan Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving!

Here are some of our favourite vegan-friendly dishes for the holiday, from sides to dessert. With these dishes, you’re bound to enjoy a memorable Thanksgiving!
