Your first day as a vegan
We see a lot of people try veganism for the first time by rushing out to buy vegan versions of the food they already eat: soy hot dogs, soy hamburgers, soy cheese, etc. While it’s understandable to indulge in familiar foods every once in a while, being a vegan omnivore isn’t the best strategy for kickingoff a vegan life. Think of veganism (in terms of a diet) as a move to a new country. If you traveled to India, would you set out in search for big cups of coffee, drive-throughs, or diners? More likely you’ll take advantage of the new culture by trying Indian food and customs. Think of the vegan diet the same way. As a vegan, you may be trying new delicious foods and recipes you’ve never evenheard of. On this sheet, we’ve listed just a few recipes that don’t require living next to corporate health foods stores or spending money having specialty items delivered to you. Most will find it easy to prepare these dishes via the local supermarket. Enjoy.
