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, we’ve created the 31 Days of Vegan Challenge.
What is the 31 Days of Vegan Challenge?
Every day in January, we’ll 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, we’re 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.
We’re giving away prizes on a weekly basis and we have an unbelievable grand prize that we’ll give away at the end of the month. The more recipes you make, the greater chance you’ll have of winning.
Let me tell you, these are not just any prizes. I’m talking about kitchen tools you’ll 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)
- Burlap & Barrel 12-Piece Spice Set (List Price: $119.87)
How to Enter to win the grand Prize
- Sign up for the email series (see form above).
- 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).
Weekly Prizes
In addition to the grand prize, we’re 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!)
- Great Jones Starting Lineup (Sheet Pan, Mini Dutch Oven, and Sauté pan)
- Burlap and Barrel 12-Piece Spice Set
- Staub All Day Pan with Glass Lid
How to enter to win Weekly Prizes
- Follow me on instagram @rainbowplantlife
- Make one of the recipes featured in this email series
- Share a photo of your recipe on your IG feed (must be public) and add the hashtag #RPLVeganChallenge.
We’ll be doing four drawings in January. The more entries you make, the greater the chance you’ll 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!
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can participate in the challenge?
We welcome everyone to sign up for the email list and start receiving amazing vegan recipes in their inbox.
However, due to exorbitant shipping costs, we can only ship these prizes to addresses within the 48 contiguous United States. Sincere apologies to our Alaskan, Hawaiian, and international friends!
What sort of recipes are we talking about?
Each recipe is a Rainbow Plant Life fan favorite (4.9 rating or higher) and 100% vegan.
Whether you’re a longtime vegan or just curious about plant-based eating, you’re sure to find inspiration. You’ll find everything from hearty soups and stews to light and refreshing lettuce wraps, as well as tasty snacks and breakfast ideas.
Do I need to be vegan to enter or eat vegan for the entire month?
Nope! You just need to be willing to try out some vegan recipes.
But if you are already vegan, you’ll still find lots of exciting and fun recipes in this challenge.
Can I adapt the recipe(s) to meet my nutritional / dietary needs?
Sure, as long as you keep with the spirit of the recipe and keep things vegan :)
How will I know you received my photo(s) via email?
Any time you email contest@rainbowplantlife.com, you should get an automatic email reply that says something to the effect of “Thank you for submitting your photo entry!”
Make sure to check your Spam, Promotions, and Junk folders and double check you sent it to the correct email address.

I’m sorry if you’ve already answered this elsewhere; I didn’t see it in the directions. For the grand prize, would you prefer one email a the end of the month with photos of all the recipes we made, or would you prefer one email per recipe/photo? Thank you! P.S. Thank you for this fun, creative challenge! Your recipes are always incredible!
Hi Polly – good question. We’d prefer a separate email for each recipe, if possible. Thank you!
Good morning. I live on the East Coast. When would I be notified that the next recipe is available? Thank you so much!
Hi Tyler, the recipes are sent out at 10am ET / 7am PT! Enjoy!
Great! Thank you so much. The Lentil Bolognese was amazing btw! Thanks again and Happy New Year!
You’re welcome, and we’re happy to hear it! Happy New Year!
Hi I tired your vegan Moussaka and loved it, I can’t wait to try other recipes. It’s hard to try recipes because a lot of time they do not taste good but I have done several of yours and They tasted wonderful. The tips for making hummus are great as well. Thanks
Thanks for the lovely feedback, Cynthia! We can’t wait for you to try more RPL recipes!
Hi Nisha,
I’ve always wanted to eat vegan meals but was very worried of it being too expensive and tasteless or bland, But oh my goodness trying this vegan challenge is a great way to start my new year. The creamy white bean soup is very flavorful and creamy. Can’t wait to try delicious recipes.
Thank you Nisha
Yay! We’re so honored you’re giving the recipes a shot and it’s paying off, Nancy! Cheers to trying new vegan foods :)
Will you be sending the recipes one at a time or will you send a week or 31 days worth? I live in a remote location and shop biweekly. So planning ahead is important. Thank you for the challenge. Love your recipes and look forward to delighting my family with all the deliciousness 😋
I am also in a remote area and only shop once a week. I agree this would be helpful to have a week at a time.
Hi Janet,
We’ll be sending the recipes daily for this challenge. The goal with this particular challenge is to help provide a daily dose of inspiration to folks to remind them about how much fun vegan cooking can be.
We totally understand where you’re coming regarding the weekly shopping, though, and we’re hoping to offer some tools related to this later in the year. Thanks for reaching out with your suggestion!

Can’t wait To try all 31 days . Hope I don’t have any emergencies to travel that I will not be able to .
Is it too late to sign up? I signed up earlier today but haven’t received any confirmation or follow-up email
Thanks!
Hi Abha – I can see you received the first email last night. Apologies for the delay!
I signed up using two emails earlier in the day but still no confirmation or response email…
Same!
Hi Madeline, Brittany – I can see you have both successfully received the first email in the series so you should be all set now. Apologies for the delay.
How do I stop receiving notifications every time someone posts? I think it will be too many posts.
Thanks
Never mind. Think I got it!
I am guessing you decided to piggy back on the success of Veganuary. Best of luck. I have made many of your recipes and they are always winners. The protein breakfast cookies are a staple for me now. All the best for 2023 and thank you on behalf of all sentient beings and our precious planet for helping to raise awareness about plant based eating. I love the videos of your family trying your recipes – your Dad is hysterical.
Thank you for the well wishes, Prema! We hope you have a marvelous 2023 and we are so grateful for you to be here!
Hi Kaitlin! I have posted two posts so far and I was wondering if you could reply to them? Happy New Year! 🎊
Also I know you guys are busy!
I signed up twice and have not received anything. Any way to find out whether you received my sign up?
Hi Janet – I just took a look at our email provider and it looks like you received the email. If you’re still having trouble, please send us an email at help@rainbowplantlife and we’ll aim to look into it soon.
I am having the same problem. I’ve signed up multiple times but I don’t see a confirmation email. Could you check on mine?
Unfortunately I won’t be able to join the Challenge either, cause I’m living in Vienna, Austria. Can I still sign up to get the recipes? I’d like to accept the challenge for my family and myself. Love your recipes!!
Wait, I just saw that Tania from Canada has the same problem :-)
Well, in this case, I’ll sign up right now!
Excited for this as I stated today to eat better ( I am already vegan), to get off crappy food, and to start exercising. This challenge is most encouraging to me! I bought your Vegan Instant Pot Cookbook and tried the Frijoles and Veg Lasagna recipes. Delish! Thanks, Nisha!
Hi Stephanie, we can’t wait for you to start trying some new recipes! And we’re so happy you’ve been loving the recipes you’ve tried so far :)
I cannot wait to try these recipes. I slipped off my vegan way of eating during the holidays and can’t wait to get back on the wagon to healthy eating and feeling healthier.
It’s the perfect time to do so, Rose! Enjoy the recipes!
I’m in Canada so no prizes for me 😫🤷🏻♀️ I’m still signing up though so I can get the 31 days of recipes 😊 I’m already vegan and love Nisha’s recipes, so it’s a good time to incorporate more into my daily meals. I just made the instant pot vegan lasagna yesterday! Yum! Leftovers tonight and I am actually looking forward to them!
Hi Tania,
I’m from Canada 🇨🇦 too and would of loved to take part of the challenge to win these beautiful gift. I love Nisha’s personality, her recipes are amazing.
I have her recipe book and it’s fantastic, everything is tasty and colourful.
I still entered the challenge to receive all the recipes and will at least enjoy that part.
The more the merrier.
Happy New Year & good luck to all!
Nathalie 😉
Sorry about that, Tania! We’re thrilled you’re still planning on making some of the recipes though. Wonderful to hear you’ve been loving the recipes you’ve tried thus far!
I was wondering if I could get a short list of ingredients that would be needed for this 31 day challenge as I am planning on making every meal?
Well that stinks for Alaska and Hawaii. Can we still enter and if we win have it sent to family on the mainland?
Hi Torie – yes, if you enter and win a prize, we can send it to an address of your choosing on the mainland. We know it’s a little bit inconvenient and we appreciate your understanding!
For the weekly prizes we have to follow rainbow plant life on instagram and we need our own instagram account. Is there any way I can enter for the weekly prizes without having insta? And without following rainbow plant life?
Hi Simran, unfortunately using your Instagram (set to public) is your only way to win weekly prizes. You don’t need to use IG to enter to win the grand prize, which is done over email.
Ok! Thank you! Happy New Year! Also I don’t know if you have contact with Nisha but could you let her know I sent her an email? Thank you so much! I appreciate you responding back! Happy New Year!
Hi Simran, we’ve noted down your entries already- not to worry! Thanks for participating and Happy New Year!
Does our Instagram profile have to be public in order to be eligible to win a weekly giveaway? (Mine is private as I’m a school teacher!)
Hi Allison, unfortunately yes, because we need to be able to see what you post. We hope you get to participate!
I signed up for the email list but didn’t receive a confirmation. Could you check to make sure it’s working?
Never mind it looks like I was just impatient! It showed up after about 5 min.
