I want to go vegan, do you have any starter tips for me?
Educate yourself. This is going to make everything so much easier. I always recommend watching Forks Over Knives (talk about the health side of things), Cowspiracy (environmental) and Earthlings (animal rights)
Get excited, this is something that is awesome!!!
Start saving and trying out new recipes!
Figure out your favorite foods/what you eat a lot of and see if you can make them vegan look for replacements or see if there are ingredients you don’t need!
If you are a big meat eater try fake meats (i like gardein brand) or veggie burgers are always yummy too!
I use earth balance butter, it taste the same as the butter you are used to
Try multiple non dairy milks, there are so many to choose from so make sure you find your favorite!
Good breakfast ideas: toast with nut butter, oatmeal, smoothies, tofu scramble, waffles (most gluten free frozen waffles are also vegan)
Make sure to keep some vegan snacks and desserts around, so if you get a craving you won’t grab something non vegan! Most chips are vegan and so are oreos!
If you are eating out, try looking at the menu before hand. Also if you can’t seem to find anything on the menu look at the sides, normally you can build your own meal!
I always keep nuts or bars in my purse and car in case i can’t find anything to eat!
Ben and jerry’s almond milk Cookies and Peanut butter icecream
Focus on the basic things that are cheap and build meals from them! Thing like beans, rice, potatoes, pasta, bread etc etc these things will be filling!
vegan foods tend to be lower in calories, so you will most likely need to be eating more food to get the calories you need and to feel full! This is totally normal!
Don’t be alarmed, most things in stores labled as vegan will be quite pricey but get used to checking lables, you’ll be surprised at how many things are accidentally vegan!
If you eat at fast food a lot google what things you can get there that are vegan, there are more options than you think!
If you mess up that is okay!!!! Going vegan is about doing your best and doing what you can, we all have days that are hard or that we mess up, no point getting down about it!
