Best Vegan Food in New Orleans

Best Vegan Food in New Orleans
Some of the best food in the nation come from New Orleans so lets see the vegan side of things!
The Wandering Buddha is some of the best vegan food! They have all kinds of things that are both vegan and Korean! yummy! They have a great stir fried rice cake with vegetables. They even have a great rice cake dessert with cinnamon and walnuts that was amazing. You may even like the dumplings!
Feelings café is a great option for vegan mushroom boudin which is amazing! 
One of my personal favorites is Lebanon Café! I love their hummus and whole wheat bread! The falafels are so tasty and the prices are amazing!
I'm sure that there are many other great vegan restaurants in New Orleans but these are some of the top spots!
Namaste

What are Vegan Products?

What are Vegan Products?
Vegan products are products that are made without causing harm to animals or without using animals at all. Did you know that that have things like vegan shoes? One of my favorite designers is Stella McCarthy and she makes really cool clothing and shoes that are vegan! Some of the top vegan shoe companies are Merrell, Jambu, Keen Kids, Big Buddha, Rocket Dogs (very cool), and one of my favorites Toms shoes. Herbivore is another very cool clothing company that you should check out! Ecoskin, Olsenhaus, Imposter, and Vaute Couture are some other very good vegan clothing companies that are worth looking into. You don't have to throw all your clothes out at once just start with a few pieces and then eventually you will have a closet full of vegan clothing!
 
There are even vegan makeup companies like Ecco Bella, Tarte, Urban Decay (love their eye shadows), and Too faced which is one of my favorites! Some popular as well as cool vegan companies are Lush (soaps) and Aveda products (I love their rosemary soap). I even found out they make bamboo toilet paper from Bum Boosa! There are so many alternatives out there. Try them and experiment with what you like and then share it with others! That is the only way to help out environment!
 
First thing is always check the labels and ask if you don't know!
 
Namaste!
