5. Pistachio and Apricot Powerballs

If there's one thing you need on a vegan diet, it's snacks – lots of prepared snacks. Eating on the go can be tricky (egg or cheese sandwich, anyone?) so this is where the protein ball comes into its own. If you've never made them before, this recipe is your perfect introduction as it's really simple.

8. Jalapeno Hummus

Chickpeas offer a lot to the vegan, which is why hummus becomes so important. But if you're getting bored of the supermarket offerings, try this version instead. With toasted wholemeal pitta breads and a fresh tomato salsa, it's one of our favourite lunches.
