Are you also passionate about vegan foods and healthy and eco-eating? Then we have a couple of ideas for you and your bae that would help you plan a perfect date together. Experts from a popular service for dating in Portland asked their users to give some ideas from their personal vegan life, and this is what they shared.
Vegan cooking date
You can organize a cooking date and prepare a delicious and healthy meal together. You can either pick a recipe that both of you will love or check a list of vegan dishes together and pick something new. Cooking together is a fun way to spend time together, enjoy doing a new thing, and of course, try something tasty.
How to plan the best romantic vegan date?
- Pick the recipe together. You can check recipes online or buy a special cookbook. Look for recipes that suit both of your dietary preferences and that both of you like.
- Go shopping together. Shopping for the date can be also a part of the experience, which can also bring a lot of fun. Play a game and choose the most sensational ingredients with the best smell and taste. You can discuss the tweaks to the recipe together and choose the best ingredients together. And if some ingredients are missing, you can decide how to replace them.
- Create a proper mood. Remember that this time you cook not as a necessity but to have fun and spend time together. Put on some relaxing music and light candles. Maybe you would also like to open a bottle of wine or fresh juice to have a refreshing drink while cooking.
- Work as a team. When you start cooking, it’s better to decide which tasks will be the responsibility of each of you. Someone can chop, while the other one is stirring and checking the recipe. Don’t compete trying to make one task better than your partner, it will only create more opportunities for a quarrel.
- Take time for a proper presentation. Don’t hurry up to eat the dish when it’s ready, enjoy putting it on the plate and serving it in a fancy way, like in a restaurant. You can even add some fresh herbs or edible flowers to make it look extra special.
Plan a vegan cheese and wine night
Even when you are vegan, it doesn’t mean that you can’t have a romantic vine and cheese party. Buy several vegan cheeses and vines, create a proper atmosphere, light candles, and sit in a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy the company of each other. Like in good restaurants, you can add some other snacks to the plate, such as nuts, grapes, or berries.
Vegan movie date night
Cook some vegan snacks, such as vegan flapjacks, curried cashew dip, or hummus snack packs. Pick a movie and spend time hugging each other.
Vegan dessert date
Desserts are so nice to have a romantic date, they make you more relaxed and passionate. Being a vegan doesn’t mean that you will have to avoid this pleasure. You can choose from vegan dishes, the delicious things you like, be those cakes, cookies, or any other treats. To get some inspiration, pick a local vegan restaurant and check the desserts that they have. Here are some popular sweet vegan treats that you may like:
- no-bake peanut butter cookie bars;
- apple oatmeal cookies;
- vegan ice cream;
- creamy vegan butternut squash pudding.
Go to a vegan cooking class
Going to master classes together can be a lot of fun. You won’t have to rely on your personal cooking skills, instead, you will have the option to learn something new from a real chef. Masterclasses are great if you want to introduce something new to your couple, even as simple as a new vegan dish, without any hassle and quarrels.
Plan a vegan picnic
Go outside and enjoy the fresh air together with your partner. Make some vegan snacks for lunch and head to a nearby park or beach. Among vegan snack ideas you can easily find vegan sandwiches and salads, or just take fruit and go to enjoy nature together.
Go to a vegan festival
Vegan events and festivals are great to meet people who think like you and maybe even to find new friends. Check local events and plan your next vegan date among people who think like you.
