If my years of histamine intolerance taught me anything, choosing healthy vegan recipes is a great way to eat your vitamins and manage histamine flare ups. This is in no small part because of the ways meat is processed in modern times, but also because of the histidine content in most animal products, which can lead some people to experieince increased levels of histamine.
Most fruits and vegetables, as well as nuts, seeds, and whole grains (for most people) are all nutritious and form part of a low histamine diet. From hearty smoothies and roasted vegetables to refreshing salads, each recipe in this carefully curated round up of low histamine vegan dishes is crafted with fresh, whole ingredients.

Fava Bean Hummus

Hummus is a versatile vegan spread that’s perfect for anyone looking to eat more plant-based. As a result, I've shared numerous variations of the basic chickpea hummus on the blog, and I'm including a few in this low histamine vegan recipe roundup.
This creamy, protein-packed fava bean hummus mixes delicate fava beans, zesty lemon (optional, but recommended), and creamy tahini for a delicious twist on the original. It's a must-try for any hummus fan, whether spread on a sandwich or served with crisp vegetables!

🥗 Low Histamine Vegan Salads
Easy Microgreen Salad

Using microgreens from your own home garden or from the market is made simple with this quick and easy microgreen salad. There are a ton of nutritious greens available, and each one gives your salad a unique vitamin profile.
However, if you're not as familiar with their distinct flavors, I suggest balancing them with a savory salad dressing like the ginger dressing in this recipe. Ginger is the spicy, somewhat sweet root of a flower that is perhaps the most well-known low-histamine spice. It’s been used in both savory and sweet foods for thousands of years.
This is a great salad where the flavor is heightened and some of the harshness is absorbed by the dressing and combination of microgreens.
Fava Bean Chickpea Salad

Indulge in the fresh flavors of spring with this fava bean and chickpea salad. It's a vegan-friendly, protein-rich meal with fava beans and that low histamine dressing is sure to please.

This recipe has a lot of antihistamine ingredients, such as garlic, ginger, and rosemary, which are all full of plant chemicals that naturally aid your body to reduce histamine production and inflammation. There's also a satisfying crunch from roasted seeds, although this is completely optional.
🍛 Low Histamine Vegan Mains
Garlic Herb Tahini Pasta Sauce

In our family, pasta is always an effortless meal preference, but we kicked it up a notch because of my histamine sensitivity. Like other low histamine sauces in this list, this creamy pasta sauce is well-balanced in flavor and vegan-friendly.
It has the same flavor and consistency as restaurant versions thanks to the inclusion of garlic and herbs, and takes less than thirty minutes to put together. The best part is that this is great with sweet potato or zoodle pasta, or even chickpea macaroni, and is devoid of any lemon, sugar, and nuts.

Mashed Purple Sweet Potatoes

This next entree was developed based off of my almond milk mashed potatoes, which my husband requests on the regular (and even does most of the prep), so I know they're easy & detailed enough for beginners and home chefs alike!
Delightfully creamy mashed purple sweet potatoes are vegan and Whole30-approved comfort food. In less than 30 minutes you can make healthy purple sweet potato mash that's a perfect side dish for any meal and fancy enough for the holidays.

However, a sprinkling of fresh herbs, minced garlic, vegan cheese and scallions, or even a pinch of seasoned salt can completely transform the finished dish.
Maple Garlic Rosemary Carrots

If you’re on an elimination diet, this should be one of your go-to options if you're looking for a simple, quick side dish. Carrots are one of the six elements in this low histamine and vegan recipe, and of course the most important ones.
It takes less than 30 minutes to prepare and can be made any time of year. I've been preparing these as a quick side dish with our meals. Simple, with no high histamine food ingredient yet luxurious with the addition of a sweet maple flavor.
Roasted Za’atar Potatoes

These crispy za'atar potatoes are soft on the inside but have a delicious crunch that makes them the ideal side dish for any dinner. These potatoes are laden with foods that are extremely antihistamine due to the presence of thyme, oregano, and garlic.
These herbs are considered antiinflammatory due to the presence of phytochemicals, which are plant chemicals that naturally aid your body in limiting the formation of histamine. This recipe shows that a single vegetable can be delicious on its own. They are the ideal potluck dish and are especially wonderful as an independent low histamine snack!

Mangoes, which are vibrant yellow fruits rich in antioxidants, serve as the foundation for these popsicles. My preferred sweetener for this recipe is allulose or maple syrup, but the secret to these delicious mango popsicles is really the coconut milk.
Mangoes pair nicely with the dairy-free milk as well. You can also use water or any type of milk you choose, but the fruit popsicles won't be as creamy.
Vanilla Coconut Flax Seed Pudding

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, it is possible to follow a vegan diet while adhering to a low histamine diet, but it requires careful planning. Many fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, and legumes can be included, but some high-histamine foods like fermented products, certain nuts, and specific fruits should be avoided. It's essential to focus on fresh, whole foods and to be mindful of individual triggers, as histamine intolerance can vary from person to person. Consulting with a healthcare professional or a nutritionist can help ensure that nutritional needs are met while managing histamine levels.
Certain foods can help support the body's ability to manage histamine levels. Fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly those high in vitamin C like citrus fruits, bell peppers, and leafy greens, may help limit additional histamine release. Additionally, foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as flaxseeds and chia seeds, can have anti-inflammatory effects. Staying hydrated and consuming herbal teas, like ginger or chamomile, may also aid in flushing out histamine. Always consult with a healthcare professional for tailored dietary advice.
Several fresh vegetables are generally considered low in histamine and can be included in a low histamine diet. These include leafy greens like spinach and kale, as well as cucumbers, zucchini, carrots, and sweet potatoes. Freshly cooked vegetables are typically better tolerated than those that have been stored for a long time. However, individual reactions can vary, so it's important to monitor how your body responds to different foods.
Tofu can be a bit complicated when it comes to histamine levels, as soy can be a trigger for some but not others. Fresh, unfermented tofu is generally considered to be low in histamine and may be tolerated by some individuals on a low histamine diet, though it can be very hard or even impossible to find. However, fermented soy products, like tempeh or miso, are high in histamine and should be avoided. As with any food, individual sensitivities can vary, so it's important to monitor your body's reactions when incorporating tofu into your diet.
