The #1 Beginner Vegan Shopping List for Newbies in 2019 Post Archives
I know how hard it can be to switch from eating everything to following a vegan, vegetarian, or even just a more heavily plant-based diet. So, don’t feel discouraged if this “becoming a vegan” thing is a little overwhelming at first. It will get much easier as you continue to make lifestyle choices, and then you will also feel the full health benefits of eating a plant-based diet!
That being said, printables, shopping lists, Pinterest, and vegan food pyramid charts were my virtual BFFs as I slowly made more and more steps to becoming a vegan.
The first step? Reading up on science-backed healthy food blogs with articles explaining the benefits of various whole foods.
You know, the authentic kind of articles that inspire you to reconnect with a more natural way of living. Hey, I’m not going to make such a dramatic switch unless I know it’s worth it. But that’s just me – I tend to be skeptical of health claims unless there are reputable studies to support them.
If you’ve ever picked a health nut’s brain, you probably know that their “healthy eating” code includes a nutritious breakfast everyday. Of course there are several nutrients necessary for a breakfast to qualify as a “superfood,” but fiber is definitely one of them. In this post, we’ll look specifically at high fiber breakfast foods. You’ll find a variety of easy high fiber recipes, ranging from the simple grab-and-go style to something more time consuming and decadent, like a smoothie/pudding hybrid.
While it’s tempting to try to “play it by ear” and eat whatever vegan foods happen to be available, this isn’t the most sustainable vegan lifestyle choice. This could inadvertently lead to nutritional deficiencies, which are actually quite common in vegans who don’t make a conscious effort to eat a full, well-rounded diet.
