The Best Of July Is Here ๐Ÿ’œ


Hi there, Reader

Here are the 6 recipes that AVV readers (across my website and socials) have been loving most this month! I hope one of them earns a spot on your menu this week! ๐Ÿ’œ

And as per usual, I've included some of my favourite reviews and reader remake pics. If you've made an AVV recipe, loved it, and haven't left a review yet, I'd be so grateful if you could take a minute to do so.

I read every single review that comes in! They help other readers discover new favourites and also make it easier for me to keep creating recipes you'll love!

Before we get to the recipes, a little Chester update. We really felt the love after last month's email! His surgery went well. He's feeling so much better now the painful eye has gone, and he's become quite the master at chewing his sticks (and stealing socks) while wearing his cone. 2 days until it can come off! ๐Ÿฅณ


JULY'S TOP RECIPES ๐Ÿ†

These recipes were the most popular this month. They have found their way into your kitchens and your family meals, and thatโ€™s just the absolute best feeling! If you somehow missed any of them, consider this your sign to fix that immediately!

โ€‹Nooch Dressingโ€‹

This one is the reigning recipe champ this month. I honestly can't believe how popular it's been since I published it in June!


โ€‹Nutritional Yeast Tofuโ€‹

The nooch dressing pushed the nooch tofu off the top spot ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Oh, and just a tip - You haven't lived until you've eaten them both together! ๐Ÿ˜œ


โ€‹Shredded Tofuโ€‹

This one's been trending on Pinterest this month. Make a big batch to keep in the fridge, and you can add it to sandwiches, burritos, tacos, salads, soups, etc., all week long! Personal fave way to eat it? Tossed in BBQ sauce and put in a fluffy bun with homemade slaw. So good!


โ€‹Vegan Scrambled Eggsโ€‹

Facebook has decided this vegan scrambled egg deserves its moment... and I'm not about to argue. It's had more than 100,000 views in less than a week!


โ€‹Marinated Chickpeasโ€‹

Another newbie that's gone down a storm! If you haven't tried them yet, this is your sign!


โ€‹Grilled Baby Potatoesโ€‹

A fave every single summer! A must when you're grilling outside.

"I had been eying this recipe for quite a while before I made it - I should have made it when I first saw the recipe! The resulting cake was deeeelicious - unbelievably so!!!! Best vegan cheesecake I've ever tried - and I've tried many over the past few decades. If you're on the fence about this recipe, hop off and give it a try. You'll be glad you did!" - Sally on Vegan Biscoff Cheesecake.

"I rarely comment on the recipes that I find and make, but I had to comment on this one! I was looking for a way to use a package of red lentils, and this was one of the first recipes that came up. I canโ€™t recall EVER making a recipe that didnโ€™t need doctoring afterwards. This one was PERFECT upon opening the lid!" - SS on Instant Pot Lentil Dal.

"Thank you for this delicious, nutritious, and quick smoothie!!
I'm a full time student who is studying for a long exam [9 hour], and I don't have time to cook. I was super hungry when I saw this recipe and jumped straight into making it. It came out delicious and filling. I'm planning to make it daily during exam time!" - Bella on Tofu Smoothie.

"My husband is not a zucchini fan but I made this last night and he LOVED IT! He asked me to make it regularly !" - Debra on Air Fryer Zucchini.

Hi there, Reader If you've never quite understood the hype around chia pudding, I get it. The texture isn't for everyone. And that's exactly why I made this Blended Chocolate Chia Pudding. Blending completely transforms it. There's no weird texture, and the cocoa covers the chia seed flavour, so you get a healthy and very delicious chocolate pudding with a surprising amount of protein and fibre. If you're already a chia pudding fan, I have a feeling you'll love this version. And if you're...

Hi there, Reader Blueberry season is in full swing, and I'm so here for it! The second they start showing up at my local farm stand, I go a little overboard. If you're the same, don't worry because I've got you covered with lots of ways to use them. No berry will get left behind! Note that all of these recipes will work fine with fresh or frozen blueberries (don't defrost them first). Have a great week, and don't forget to check out and join my new and free AVV Community. I'd love to see you...
