30 Days to Becoming More Vegan!

30 Days to Becoming More Vegan!

 

 



I know that most of you are saying well its too hard to become vegan! Its too much work! Well I am here to help you! I want to make this transition as easy as possible for you so that you won't really have to think. You will feel much better about yourself and about your days!

 

The first thing I will help you with is your pantry. This will probably be the hardest thing to do. First you should go through your pantry and read all of the labels! Make sure that they are all vegan products. If you find things that are not vegan then set them aside. You shouldn't have anything with animal products in them left in your pantry or refrigerator when you are done. Make sure that you do this task on the weekend when you have the time to devote to such a task. Once you have all of the food that is not vegan than I would suggest that you donate it to your local food bank so that others will not go hungry!

 

Really there should not be anything in your pantry that is not natural now.

Here are some of the staples that I keep in my pantry:

• Lentils: Red, Black, Yellow, Green
• Beans: Black, Kidney, Navy, Adzuki, Pinto, Chick Peas, or what ever your tastes
• Grains: Brown Rice (there are also many types and kinds of brown rice so experiment), Oats, Amarnath, Quinoa, Barley, Millet
• Whole Wheat pastas, There are some others that are really good like artichoke flour pasta and corn pasta that you can try to give your meals a different flavor
• I always keep canned tomatoes in my pantry all of the time and canned beans if I do not have the time to soak beans. I do not like to keep too many canned vegetables in the pantry but if you feel like it would be easy by all means keep them in there.
• Now as far as vegetables go I shop every several days so that everything is fresh! I do keep limes, lemons, apples, bananas, kale, spinach, and lettuce always in my fridge for smoothies.
• If you want to keep frozen items I would suggest keeping all kinds of berries for smoothies, frozen bananas, peas, broccoli, edamame (great snack), and vegan burgers, and what ever else that you like eating that's vegan.
• As far as vegan staples for the fridge I really like to have Daiya cheese, Tofutti sour cream, so delicious frozen treats, and all kinds of hot sauces!

That will be a good start! Really most thing that you should have will be in their natural state! Once you clean out your pantry you will find that it is easier to eat a healthy vegan diet because you wont be tempted with bad food choices!

 

Remember that its ok to slip up or to even do 50% vegan at first until get used to it but if you clean your pantry first it like going cold Tofurkey!
