Keep cool during hot summer days with these 15+ Easy Vegan Summer Recipes! Everything you need for breakfast, snacks, no-heat meals, desserts, and drinks! Cooling you from the inside makes the heat much more manageable!

With the summer finally here (hooray!) my body literally screams for lighter and healthier meals. I try to keep snacking throughout the day or make meals that don’t require the oven or stovetop at all or only for a short time. Our apartment gets super hot on its own, it doesn’t need me to add even more heat to that.

In this post, I’ve compiled my 15 favorite easy vegan summer recipes that keep me cool. You’ll find everything from breakfast, snacks and sides to main meals, desserts, and drinks.

Vegan Blueberry Overnight Oats – Prepare the oats the day ahead and top with warm or cold blueberry sauce the next morning. So good!
