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:

    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:

    1. Instant Pot Duo Plus + The Vegan Instant Pot Cookbook (signed by me, the author!) 
    2. Great Jones Starting Lineup (Sheet Pan, Mini Dutch Oven, and Sauté pan)
    3. Burlap and Barrel 12-Piece Spice Set 
    4. 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!

        1. RPL Team says:

          Hi Polly – good question. We’d prefer a separate email for each recipe, if possible. Thank you!

      2. Tyler says:

        Good morning. I live on the East Coast. When would I be notified that the next recipe is available? Thank you so much!

        1. Kaitlin @ Rainbow Plant Life says:

          Hi Tyler, the recipes are sent out at 10am ET / 7am PT! Enjoy!

          1. Tyler says:

        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

        1. Kaitlin @ Rainbow Plant Life says:

          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

        1. Kaitlin @ Rainbow Plant Life says:

          Yay! We’re so honored you’re giving the recipes a shot and it’s paying off, Nancy! Cheers to trying new vegan foods 🙂

      5. Kelly Shattuck says:

        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 😋

        1. janet says:

          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.

          1. RPL Team says:

            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!

        Thanks!

        1. RPL Team says:

          Hi Abha – I can see you received the first email last night. Apologies for the delay!

      8. Brittany says:

        I signed up using two emails earlier in the day but still no confirmation or response email…

        1. Madeline says:

          Same!

          1. RPL Team says:

            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.

      9. stephanie says:

        How do I stop receiving notifications every time someone posts? I think it will be too many posts.
        Thanks

        1. stephanie says:

          Never mind. Think I got it!

      10. Prema says:

        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.

        1. Kaitlin @ Rainbow Plant Life says:

          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! 🎊
