How To

How can you make the transition to a plant based diet without feeling overwhelmed?

Making the transition to a plant-based diet can be overwhelming at first - however, with adequate preparation and education, it is achievable. Take baby steps and slowly incorporate changes into your diet. Opt for whole foods rather than processed substitutes, as they are generally healthier and more filling.

When it comes to meal prep and planning, dedication yields maximum results - consider mapping out meals in advance so that you know what to shop for and how much time to allocate for each dish. The best kitchen appliances, such as multi-cookers or slow cookers, can make it easier to use. Batch cooking means you can have multiple meals ready in a single go.

Finally, don't forget to keep experimenting with new flavors that you may enjoy. Experimenting with different cuisines can help you add variety to your vegan diet. Instead of shopping impulse at the grocery store, create a grocery plan that is based on recipes. With the right ingredients and preparation tips, making the switch will become easier over time!
