We love food, we really love vegan food, and we especially love Middle Eastern vegan food! If you’re getting bored of the same old avocado toast and green smoothie recipes on your feed, you need to check out our favorite Middle Eastern plant-based bloggers. Every content maker on this list is pushing the boundaries of delicious desserts, flavorful dinners, and scrumptious side dishes. We believe that eating vegan can look one-million-and-one ways and these eight women are a testament to that! 

1. Nada – One Arab Vegan 

Based in Abu Dhabi but originally Egyptian, Nada from One Arab Vegan is constantly coming out with vegan Middle Eastern recipes like Kunafa and Timan Bigila. There’s something for everyone on Nada’s Instagram, whether you have a raging sweet tooth or appreciate fresh produce-focused savory dishes. Her website is packed with recipes to try and we highly recommend you check out her ‘About’ page to learn more about her journey to veganism! You can also follow her on Youtube and Twitter.

2. Joyce Mrad – Joyful Home Cooking

If you love gorgeous food photography and beautiful baked goods, you have to go over to Joyce Mrad’s Instagram and check out her content.

All of her creations are gluten-free, vegan, and sugar-free. The recipes are right in the caption, so you can skim them and see if you have all the ingredients before rushing to the kitchen to bake! You can also check out her website. 

3. Luna Issa 

Iraqi food blogger Luna is working on veganizing all her favorite Iraqi dishes. She’ll omit an egg, swap out meat for a vegan alternative, or finish off a dish with a dollop of coconut yogurt, making vegan Middle Eastern cooking look as simple as it should be. If you’re looking for great ways to incorporate more Middle Eastern cuisine in your life, you need to check her out on Instagram.

She shares the recipe in the caption of each photo on Instagram so be sure to follow her to not miss out on her next creation!
