Impress your family & friends with our favorite whole food plant-based recipes to make this Labor Day Weekend! From savory dishes to sweets treats, we have you covered – and everything is PLANTSTRONG-approved!

1. Epic Brats

Turn any flavor of our PLANTSTRONG Burger Mix into these savory brats with the help of brown rice wrappers. Cook in a pan or on the grill and top with whatever toppings you'd like! If you need some inspiration, try one of these delicious ideas. 

2. Pancake Dessert Tacos

Choco Taco, who? Try our PLANTSTRONG Pancake Dessert Tacos instead! Mix the fruit of your choice with some yogurt, spoon onto a pancake "taco" shell, and dip it all in chocolate for a healthy remake of a popular treat.

3. PLANTSTRONG Burgers

Re-enter the grilling arena with our PLANTSTRONG Plant-Based Burgers! Choose from Portobello Mushroom, Black Bean, or Sweet Curry. Cook 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the patty is fully formed and releases easily from the grill.

4. Raspberry Hibiscus Granita

That end of summer heat can be brutal sometimes. Cool down with our Raspberry Hibiscus Granita, made with our PLANTSTRONG Hand Plucked Raspberry Hibiscus Tea and fresh raspberries. Serve on top of plant milk yogurt for a special treat!

5. Deconstructed Spring Roll Salad

Crunchy, fresh, and nutty with a little spice...our Deconstructed Spring Roll Salad topped with the PLANSTRONG Peanut Curry Secret Sauce has it all. The only way to make it even better is by drizzling it all with Yellowbird Blue Agave Sriracha – our favorite sriracha for those following a whole food plant-based lifestyle.

6. Sheet Pan Nachos

Despite what you might think, your nacho-eating days aren't over! These Sheet Pan Nachos are tasty, easy to whip up for a crowd, and you'd never know they're good for you. Made with easy, homemade corn tortilla chips, our vegan cheez sauce (scroll down for the recipe!), all the fresh veggies, and our PLANTSTRONG Black Bean Chili instead of canned black beans.

7. Waffle Nice Cream Sandwiches

The best idea we ever had was using waffles as ice cream sandwich buns! Our PLANTSTRONG Pancake & Waffle Mix prepared as waffles are the perfect vessel for our super simple nice cream recipe. Drizzle or dip your nice cream sandwiches in chocolate if you'd like, and have fun with the toppings!

8. Southwestern Kale Salad

We love making giant salads for our family and friends because it's the easiest way to pack in the veggies! This Southwestern Kale Salad is definitely a crowd pleaser, especially if you like a little heat. Our smoky, spicy, creamy chipotle dressing is the perfect match for PLANTSTRONG Cornbread repurposed as croutons, fire roasted corn, bell pepper, avocado, black beans, and sunflower seeds.

9.  Potato Salad 3-Ways

Potato salad is typically laden with oil, but we developed three PLANTSTRONG-approved potato salad recipes without all the junk that are so good, you'll be eating them by the spoonful. Choose from Mediterranean Potato Salad, Dill Pickle Potato Salad, and German Potato Salad...or make all three for a potato party!

10. Strawberry & Blueberry Drop Biscuits

Our PLANTSTRONG Cornbread & Muffin Mix is the secret ingredient to these delectable drop biscuits, and can be made with either the regular or gluten-free mix! Whip these up as the perfect sweet treat to end a weekend of delicious and nutritious eating.

11. Deconstructed Burger Bowls

Want to avoid the bun but still enjoy a burger? Try our Deconstructed Burger Bowls – you can enjoy all the same toppings, PLANTSTRONG burger of choice, and even homemade French fries, all in one bowl. Don't forget to make the secret sauce!

12. Falafel Pita Sandwiches

Say hello to crispy falafel without the oil! Made with our PLANSTRONG Sweet Curry Burger Mix, these falafel balls pack a flavor punch that's only elevated by oil-free hummus, fresh veggies, and our special tahini sauce recipe. Make sure to read the recipe for our #1 tip for the creamiest tahini sauce!

13. PLANTSTRONG Cheez Sauce

There's really no limit on applications to enjoy our PLANTSTRONG Cheez Sauce. We love it on burgers, hot dogs, nachos, as a dip for chips or veggies, and a topper for potatoes or chickpeas...the list goes on! Add more milk for a thinner consistency, and less milk for a thicker consistency.
