One of the complaints I hear a lot about a vegan diet is that it relies too heavily on grains or on carbs. While vegan foods can be very rich in grains, there is lots of yummy grain-free vegan food out there!

I?m not a grain-free vegan, but during my pregnancy I?ve been trying to watch my carbs, since pregnancy hormones can make it harder for your body to handle too many carbohydrates, especially simple carbohydrates. Whether you?re trying to cut back on grains to balance your diet or are just looking for a little bit more variety, eating vegan doesn?t have to mean lots of bread, rice, crackers, and noodles.

On the next page, check out some delicious grain-free vegan snack and meal ideas!
