Hey y'all!
I think a lot of people have the mindset that vegans only eat kale. That couldn't be further from the truth. I still get to enjoy things like cookies, popcorn and most importantly, ice cream. It's all about looking at ingredients! Once you learn how to read a label, it's easy.
This is a simple list of things that I always like to have in my kitchen. This list has everything a vegan could need to snack on! Some healthy and some not-so-healthy!! I linked the particular brands that are vegan, but like I said, always be sure to check the label.

I hope this sparked some ideas! Being a college student and a vegan can be a little difficult when you get home from classes at 6 pm and don't really feel like cooking. Luckily there are so many vegan options on the market. Be sure to check out Peta's accidentally vegan list for more ideas!
I need to use this next time I go grocery shopping. Have you tried black bean pasta?

Sophie,
DeleteI haven't tried black bean pasta! Maybe that's something I'll try in the future because I love the two! :)

Another item we cannot live without in a vegan diet is cashews! Have you tried this?
ReplyDeleteBlend cashews with a bit of almond milk to make a delicious cashew cream that we add to soups and sauces to make them creamy, so good!
