Mother’s Day Recipe Round-Up: 13 Healthy and Delicious Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, or Dessert Ideas Made with JOI

Ah, mothers—they’ve all put up with plenty (can we take a moment to apologize for our teens and early twenties?), and we all love them tons (plus they drive us crazy). Whether your mom is your go-to bestie or you both do better with some distance, she definitely deserves recognition—and there ain’t no well-meaning-but-highly-profitable corporate reason to offer it up like Mother’s Day. Next question: what to give the woman who’s given you most everything? A tasty meal (or at least the recipes if you can’t see her this year) that she can enjoy on a beautiful Sunday.

Brunch or dinner, sweet or savory, we’ve got you covered with delicious, healthy Mother’s Day options made with JOI 100% plant bases. Don’t you dare pawn off dishes duty.
