What is vegan bacon?

Vegan bacon is often made from a meat-alternative such as tempeh, or tofu. You can also use coconut meat, like this recipe for a more complex taste and smoother texture. Whatever alternative you choose to use is marinated in various spices.

Liquid smoke is often incorporated for that straight off the barbie smokey flavor we all love! If you prefer not to use liquid smoke, try chipotle powder.

Here's some other plant-based alternative meat recipe ideas!

How to make Vegan Bacon with Coconut Flakes:

Making vegan bacon is actually quite simple, it's best to plan a day ahead if possible to get the full flavor, but 30 minutes ahead of time also will work well.

My passions include helping others achieve their fitness goals and improve their overall health, spending time on the water, especially sailing and being active outdoors. In the clinic, we work with hundreds of patients finding alternative methods through diet and exercise to prevent potential surgeries. We promote whole body wellness through exercise, chiropractic adjustments, and soft tissue mobilization through Active Release Techniques and Graston among others. My goal, with my degree in Nutrition Education, is to expand on this knowledge to provide individuals with the information they need to further improve their current health status and reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases in the future.
