How To Host a Vegan Brunch
Weekend brunch is one of life’s simple pleasures. Mimosas, french toast, and time spent with the people you love are just some of the reasons we look forward to Sunday mornings. Traditional breakfast fare like bacon, eggs, and sausage aren’t vegan-friendly, but our plant-based friends can still enjoy a divine brunch with just a dash of creativity.
Here are some of our favorite ways to create a delicious, plant-based brunch that appeals to whoever is at your breakfast table:
01: Drinks
The good news? Most brands of Prosecco and champagne are vegan-friendly, so mimosas are safe to serve. In some cases though, they’re filtered with animal byproducts during a process called “fining”, so be sure to check the label before serving.
For a non-alcoholic drink option, try out a fun mocktail! We suggest this virgin blackberry mojito as a crisp and refreshing brunch pairing.
02: Food
Every brunch spread is built differently. For fancier folks, there are eggs Benedict and berry crepes. For people who love finger foods, there are french toast sticks and pomme frites. No matter what your style is, we have the perfect vegan brunch recipes for you:

03: Finishing Touches
Planet-happy decorations are all around us. Fill a few vases with fresh flowers, and get creative with branches and pinecones for beautiful, earthy table settings. Soy wax candles are also an excellent way to make your gathering place more serene and cozy.
