Introducing the Rainbow Plant Life 31 Days of Vegan Challenge!
As the new year begins, interest in plant-based cooking skyrockets. Soooo many people are looking for wholesome and delicious vegan meal ideas to kick off the year on the right foot.
To celebrate and help you on your journey, weโve created the 31 Days of Vegan Challenge.
What is the 31 Days of Vegan Challenge?
Every day in January, weโll be sharing a vegan recipe with anyone who signs up for the challenge. Each recipe is a fan favorite (4.9 star rating or better!) and 100% vegan.
To make things even more fun, weโre giving away some amazing prizes.
In a nutshell, here’s how it works:
- You sign up for the challenge.
- You make any of the recipes on our email list.
- You enter to win prizes.
Weโre giving away prizes on a weekly basis and we have an unbelievable grand prize that weโll give away at the end of the month. The more recipes you make, the greater chance youโll have of winning.
Let me tell you, these are not just any prizes. Iโm talking about kitchen tools youโll actually want to use on a daily basis – things like a Vitamix, high quality dutch ovens, my favorite spices, and much more.
The Grand Prize – a $1000+ Value!

The grand prize package consists of three parts:
- A Vitamix 5200 Blender (List Price: $549.99)
- Le Creuset Enameled Dutch Oven (List price: $419.95)

- Make any of the recipes featured in the email series during the month of January, snap a picture, and email it to me at contest@rainbowplantlife.com anytime during January (must be before 11:59pm PT on January 31st, 2023).
- Each recipe you make counts as one entry (e.g., if you make 5 different recipes and send in photos of each of them, it counts as 5 entries).

In addition to the grand prize, weโre giving away prizes every week exclusively over on Instagram!

Here are the prizes on offer:
- Instant Pot Duo Plus + The Vegan Instant Pot Cookbook (signed by me, the author!)

Weโll be doing four drawings in January. The more entries you make, the greater the chance youโll have of being selected. And you can use the same photo for the weekly prize and for the grand prize, so be sure to enter for both!

Thank you for the fun contest! I enjoyed both remaking some of my favorites and trying several new favorites!
Your stroganof and cream of mushroom soup are my hands down newest favorites. So good!
Your chili was already a favorite. I made it again just in time for some cold weather that came through.
Woohoo, Nick! Awesome to hear you loved the challenge. Those are a few of our favorites as well! ๐
Like everyone else who commented, I really enjoyed learning new recipes and ways to make vegan cooking more savory and fun. And…I’m also wondering when will you announce the winner? ๐
Hi Sina, we’re thrilled you enjoyed the recipes! The weekly winners were announced each Monday on Instagram and the grand prize winner was chosen from the email competition, announced on IG and emailed. You can see the winners at the bottom of the post here: https://rainbowplantlife.com/31-days-of-vegan-recap/
Nisha, I absolutely loved this #RPLVeganChallenge and made more food than I could imagine this month. I havenโt made every recipeโฆyet. Even today, Iโm adding stuff to my grocery list for the next couple – Caramelized Onion Pasta and Tempeh Tacos. Hands down favorites this month were the Tofu Scramble, Sofritas and the Mexican Black Beans. Yep, my kitchen did smell like Chipotle for 2 days after! And all these leftovers were combined into a yummy breakfast burrito! Delicious, amazing recipes that made me step out of my comfort zone. I do have a baby mouth so I adjusted the heat, but still. Amazing and will definitely make again. This challenge has been so much fun! I do hope you do this again. Prize or not, Iโve gained so much in knowledge in this month long mini-cooking course that itโs worth everything. Thank you!
So cool to hear you’ve gained so much from the vegan challenge, Julie! Thanks for sharing the dishes you made with us, we’re grateful you participated ๐
Thank you so much for the wonderful idea of the veganuary contest. I’ve learned so much, was introduced to some amazing herbs, flavors, cooking some delicious Indian/Italian and various types of meals, soups, learned how to make awesome hummus and much more. A wonderful and well appreciated free cooking class for an opportunity to win something while we all actually won with all the free teaching that you’ve given us. Thank YOU Nisha๐
You’re very welcome, Rita! We are so pleased to be able to provide so many delicious vegan recipes for our readers. So lovely to hear you got so much from the challenge, thanks for sharing!

Aw, we are delighted to hear it Phyllis! ๐ Thank you so much for participating in the challenge, we’re grateful for you! ๐
