I’ve never tried it, either. I have a feeling I’d like it. But I haven’t seen it in my neck of the woods ever. I’d probably have to order some.
Now I want to try it! I’ll pick up next time. Have you had vegemite? If so, similar? I’ve not had that either
I love Marmite. I find its quite good to use in bases/stocks too.
Homemade pancakes with fruit and vegan chocolate spread
Tofu scramble. First attempt ever i thought this would be disappointed but it was lovely on some toast
Pizza which was shop bought and then customised with extra veggie
Love this thread guys keep it coming
Not vegan, or even vegetarian, for that matter, but most of the food I eat is and has been for twenty years or so. Vegetarian.
This is something I made up about that long ago and fix a lot. Eggplant, mushrooms, red bell pepper in this case, fresh ginger, fresh garlic. I love it.
That looks lovely i would stick that in a pitta bread with some rocket and cucumber, and you have yourself a veggie kebab
Very cool, ive never seen this before
This is my extreme vegan comfort food. Curly fries and popcorn cauliflower. Peas and coleslaw on the side
While I’m not a vegan, I’ve been doing more plant-based meals, more vegan foods, reducing my meat intake etc so I love watching this thread for ideas too. Lots of tasty foods!
My lunch today; sprouted farro bowl with sesame soy baked tofu, beet & cabbage kraut, cashews, roasted broccoli and adding a touch of vegan Japanese dressing
Making falafel tomorrow. We are dabbling in a meatless diet…not sure exactly how long or whether vegetarian or vegan at this point. We just know, the healthier we eat, the better we feel.
That’s great. Changing diet around can make a huge difference to how you feel. My mood is so much better when I eat well. And cutting back on meat is win win as far as I see it. Hoping to see a picture of the falafel in the thread
For the most part we eat really well…its when we get into comfort food mode…that is what we are replacing first…and I love middle eastern food…so we will start there
i think you speak more for your body type, not for the general population of humans. blood type has a lot to do with how well you adapt to meat or no meat diets. also a lot of vegetarians/vegans dont eat plant based foods daily. they tend to eat processed, cooked foods and load up on expensive supplements. i was in san francisco 10 years ago when everyone was vegan. there were a lot of unhealthy people living on a diet of chips and PBR.
Oh yeah, I’ll definitely agree with that. A lot of people think the term vegan means that you’ll be healthy, but french fries and beer are vegan that doesn’t make it a wise decision every day.
Honestly, if my body responded well to being vegan, I would totally do it. And it’s not like I was eating processed grains and sugary vegan candy all the time, I was eating oatmeal, berries, raw fruits and vegetables, severely limiting vegetable oils, and only drinking sugar free dairy alternatives when I wasn’t drinking water. And no matter what I did, I couldn’t eat without having severe acid reflux from all of it. Now I’ll totally admit that everyone is different, and for some a vegan diet might actually be the cure for acid reflux, but for me it just wasn’t. Like I said before, I wound up with chronic gastritis, nutritional deficiencies, and I was 40 lb heavier by the time I stopped than when I started. For me, the answer was consuming healthy fats from fish, grass-fed and finished meats, organic eggs, and cutting out most grains. I still eat a ton of vegetables and try to be as whole foods, plant-based as possible, but removing the grains and adding back the animal proteins and healthy fats was a complete game changer.
totally. and sometimes for a diet to really work for you (if it must) you have to get a nutritionist to guide you which is costly and not time efficient. about 15 years ago i went my GP and had a physical when he told me that i needed to be on a plant based diet. i have been since. but in the last few months i’ve introduced fish and crustaceans. no matter what we eat it should just be clean, IMO.
I had to finally see a functional medicine practitioner just to get the chronic gastritis under control, so yeah I’ll agree with that. I think grains were the main issue for me
Believe it or not. There are a high amount of meat eaters who are deficient in B12. This isn’t an exclusively vegan issue.
Never said it was, but more vegans and vegetarians get it than meat eaters
