i love when people in this day and age still say "it's too hard" to make the transition to a more or full plant-based diet. it's evident that NOW is the perfect time with so many options available! even with all of the fast food options! 2020 needs to be the year of #NoMoreExcuses

[@potatoland8454]

Some people will never be full vegana but I get your point.

[@ahhitskatie9094]

jhennicide It’s a little difficult when you have a soy sensitivity..

[@user-qr6sl8zd4j]

it is hard because it doesn’t taste as good. To suggest that fake meat is the same as real meat is misleading

[@jhennicide]

@@user-qr6sl8zd4j they aren't the same though. one is planted based and the other is animal flesh so how could they taste the same? it's just another food type and an alternative option to cruelty and slaughter.

[@user-qr6sl8zd4j]

jennifer anne yes but you were insinuating that its not hard to transition and i’m saying it is hard because they don’t taste the same

THE CINNAMON ROLLS I ALMOST GASPED I haven't been able to find a replacement for them in the past thank you so much !!!

[@vinregret]

I'm severely lactose intolerant and I cut out dairy about 6 months ago, and I've been surprised by the number of things I've found good alternatives to that taste the exact same. Ben and Jerry's makes my favourite dairy-free ice cream, but I have yet to find a cheese alternative that I actually like. I've tried Daiya's mozzarella shreds on pizza, which are good, their cheddar cheese blocks weren't very good, and their boxed alfredo pasta was pretty good, nothing incredible but I just missed creamy pasta so much that I devoured it lol.

"Cries in European". Gurl I have NONE of these in my country. Not even one of the the brands mentioned lmao. Also the few vegan alternatives we have are so damn expensive. The vegan milk for example is double the price of the regular...

[@YoSoyJoii]

I feel that!! you can try making your own almond milk or oat milk which is even easier, that's what I did before moving to the u.s. and didn't have that many options

[@saffiremidnight8685]

Look into AlmondCow. It’s a little machine that lets you make your own milk out of any ingredient you want. It may be worth it 🤷🏻‍♀️ I know a lot of people who love it even more than the stuff in the store

Yo same it's ridiculous really, like all I want is some ice cream 😅

[@isabellapalacio4631]

Check out pickinguplimes channel she lives in Netherlands and talks about where to get a bunch of stuff that are Vagan and get this - super healthy/ easy. Also I’ve heard that on amazon there’s some dry vegan stuff(like desserts, snacks, and my favorite- nutritional yeast) that you can get shipped for pretty cheap to anywhere in the EU so there’s that(Russian here so if I can get it for relatively cheap I’m sure it’s less expensive for you because western products are hard to come by here and shipping is taxed more lol)

[@rx500android]

Same oof

[@helenlucka]

I have to give it to you: you know your stuff. I've been plant based for a year and a couple of months now and I know 80% of this list, mostly because I'm not that interested in the other 20 %.

[@lillee7439]

shaetasstic I do too, you just cant buy impossible foods yet :(((

[@shaetasstic]

@@lillee7439 yeah it sucks, but they're my go to at restaurants that carry it. I'm not sure why they don't sell it in stores yet

[@davidthescottishvegan]

To anyone that likes the Impossible foods burger it's tested on animals (check out this for details (Why it's impossible for PETA to get behind the Impossible foods burger at peta.org/blog/why it's impossible for PETA to get behind the Impossible foods burger and there's also a post on Reddit about it too. ) which means it's not vegan and it's based on GMO ingredients( see faq.impossiblefoods.com for details ) while the Beyond Meat Burger isn't tested on animals which means it's vegan and not based on GMO ingredients. So if you consume the Impossible foods burger you are not vegan but plant based.

[@lillee7439]

David Mcgregor Yes i know it is gmo. However it isnt tested on animals. Please do your research & do it correctly.

[@davidthescottishvegan]

@@lillee7439 The ingredients soy leghemoglobin is tested on rats the last time I checked rats were animals. We only have the Beyond burger in the UK but if Impossible foods burger did come to the UK I still wouldn't eat because I don't like the thought that the food is GMO ingredients and would rather avoid it while it uses GMO ingredients whether it's vegan or not.

[@someguy2135]

@John Plum She probably meant that it isn't as healthy as whole vegan foods like beans. BTW another celebrity success story that is similar to Kevin Smith, is Penn Jillette. He lost more than 100 pounds also using the potato only gateway to a vegan diet. He turned his health around, and now is also an ethical vegan, instead of a heath only vegan. The KZbin channel "Krocks in the Kitchen" did the same and lost a lot of weight too.

[@xosunshineoxsunshine436]

[@tyler-ju8rb]

i’ve been trying to go vegan and it is SO hard to give up cheese but you have given some really good alternatives and i can’t wait to try them all

[@lewisbensted7161]

Every time you want to eat cheese, watch the video 'dairy is scary'.

[@raeannmoldenhauer5641]

tyler there are some tasty and easy recipes to make non-dairy sauces and dips, too. Cheese has additives to make it addictive. That is why it is difficult to give up,. Stick it out bag the cravings will go away. Now when I see cheese I see an oily mess full of abuse. Cows deserve better.

[@someguy2135]

Nurtitional yeast is a healthy, ethical alternative to Parmesan cheese. For a junk food alternative, try Hippeas cheese flavored puffs.

[@lydiaruthvalentine7380]

hey you should do a video on vegan snacks that you wouldn’t think were vegan, things like oreos and stuff:)

[@ashleywicka]

oooh good idea!!!

[@pearloberlin3479]

Oreos are vegan?? Yesss

[@ryanhall8770]

Pearl Oberlin They say that Oreos are not because they may have come into contact with milk at the factory but milk is not actually one of the ingredients they put in so I think it’s fine.

[@jamieschaller4611]

I´m from Germany and in October / November I will be in Florida for 4 weeks..Can´t wait to go shopping and look for this stuff. Thanks!

[@MrPineappleruler]

These videos are great. I've recently gone vegetarian/pescatarian as I've eaten meat my whole life and wanted to test the waters a bit before I go fully vegan and they've helped me a lot. thankfully not eating meat has just become apart of my daily life and I only slightly miss some things about meat mainly the flavours. My food is kind of boring but I'm learning and exploring.

[@someguy2135]

The best, healthiest alternative to meat for texture and flavor is mushrooms. They give you what the Japanese call Umami. I buy fresh mushrooms, rinse them off, put them in a bowl and microwave for a minute. If you add vegetable broth or miso soup they are even better. I have them with every dinner at home. For protein, learn to eat beans or tofu. Not too many at first. It takes time for your body to adapt. You can use Beano in the mean time if you are afraid of gas.

[@stk34481]

I agree with your mom. Silk original soy creamer is the only non dairy creamer I'll drink, and I've tried over a dozen probably. I'm a big coffee lover and i find the flavor of coffee is easily ruined by the wrong creamer. That Silk one though, it's right up there with the taste of regular dairy cream.

[@lindsaykearney5089]

Trader Joe’s has a great almond milk coffee creamer that’s oh so creamy and delicious!! Veganaise (vegan mayonnaise) is a lifesaver for certain recipes!

[@sarah.aileen]

I love the vegan coconut milk whipped cream! It's soo good! I don't buy it that often though since it's not the best for u! Haha. Literally my fave tho! (The Lightlife hot dogs are LITERALLY THE BEST AND EASIEST food to make) Love you Ashley! Hope to meet you one day, ur so sweet!

I went half-vegan just a few days ago, and I absolutely LOVE it! I'm sorry to say that I still eat fish and turkey, but hopefully one day I'll go full vegan. I only catch fish with my own hands in Lake Erie, I never get store bought anymore. I've had inspiration to go vegan for years actually, and now I'm so happy I can finally do it! I love animals, and they deserve better. This world needs to change, as in now. The film Earthlings, World of Vegan's channel, Brian May, Gary Yourofsky, and you all are such great examples! Thanks so much!

No such thing as half vegan

[@twobrokewolves5884]

@@vincec_1 Chill out dude

[@vincec_1]

TwoBrokeWolves * im just saying there is no such thing as half vegan. Its good that they dont eat certain animals but all the animals matter including the fish and turkey they still eat.

[@moonbeam2742]

@@vincec_1 That's what I consider myself, as I gave up beef, pork, milk, dairy, lamb, etc. but still eat half the other meats I just said. I'm trying to give up all meat completely, but failure is relentless....

[@vincec_1]

Moonbeam274 i would just say, dont go around saying your half vegan because its not a real term

[@reaganhadaway6619]

8:49 another similar product is Hippeas. They taste like the white cheddar Cheeto puffs and can often be found at Starbucks. One of my fav snacks

[@scotttaylor7744]

thanks for making my life a bit tastier, keep up the great work

[@happens2bvegan504]

well done! this is valuable info for many curious about the vegan diet and what is really out there..thank you

[@farida7148]

you’re a lifesaver

[@rainastrickling3645]

I really needed this, thank you ;) and I’m literally obsessed with your channe 💓

[@samanthaperez1551]

i’m not even vegan and i really like this channel. but for anyone trying to eat healthier but your not vegan, this is a good place to see healthier alternatives

[@rociobravo2612]

you are one of my favorite KZbinrs because you are not straightforward with your videos and I love that as well that you are super nice

[@macynanderson336]

hey I just want to let you know I am going vegan too and I really look up to you I love you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@macwallace8405]

if anyone ever try to tell me that veganism is restrictive again ima just send them this video

[@cherry3973]

It’s restrictive to people suffering from an eating disorder because it can be triggering to avoid certain foods. If they’re just being lazy and selfish tho then send it

[@Daniellespah]

This video is : *YALL GOT NO EXCUSES*

[@mercutio6623]

Your videos are awesome, wholeness and balanced vibrations...much gratitude and appreciation for all you do. I'm in NC now, used to be in NOVA (with Trader Joes), haven't seen one since living here haha but I got vegan from time to time. Thanks for the info and keep doing what you're doing!

[@kindyskanvas]

I’m not vegan but I am dairy free and these videos are so great 😭 helps so much. I’ve gone through too many substitutes that are grossss

[@emilytamasi8788]

Hey Ashley! Can you please do a video about vegan hygiene products that you use?(shampoo, conditioner etc) This is the thing I struggle with because I dont buy shampoo or conditioner cause I live at home(I'm 17) but I don't want to use what my mom used cause it's not vegan.

[@misa.1053]

have the same struggle

[@mollycompton4068]

if you have a Costco membership they sell vegan shampoo and conditioner that's super cheap!!

[@insiya4561]

Molly Compton I am not hurting you, but in my personal experience.. the kirkland shampoo and conditioner and whole foods shampoo and conditioner, it ruined my hair and made it super frizzy.. 😣

[@rebeccaelfe4716]

Emily Tamasi i get my shampoo and conditioner from lush! you can get packaged bottles or solid ones, which is what i use. they’re really good and make your hair soo soft. i recommend!

[@emmag9362]

Thank you for mentioning at the beginning that you do not need these. So true. Esp as there are so many other things that are nutritious and so so CHEAP. Being vegan is great on the pocket as it's honestly the cheapest diet. But yes these are great treat foods or for those who miss certain things. Thank you for the list!

[@gabrielbeaton4922]

i've found canned jackfruit at Albertson's just for anyone who doesn't have a trader joe's near them

[@thegirlygirl9506]

What states has Albertsons? What state so you live in?

[@aaliyahetc.6687]

tf is an albertson lmao

[@amiyahancock3056]

[@AnnaGraceFrances]

These videos are SO helpful even just as someone who doesn't eat dairy and minimal meat!!! Thank you!!!

[@ggblog7563]

Thanks beautiful am a New Vegan and learning a lot from you. Six months in and a lifetime to go

[@chloelovesjesusandyou]

Have you tried Ripple pea milk? It’s the best I love it so much they have an amazing vanilla flavor!

[@nicholaskotsakis2659]

Chloe Rojas omg I love it to

[@jkka1477]

I guess when I become vegan I’ll try it

[@nicksmom7414]

New Subscriber. Beginning my journey to becoming vegan, thanks for all the tips. 📝

[@crazimuch957]

Have you tried the vegan products they're starting to get at Aldi? It's cheaper and it's mostly really good! Only thing is the quinoa burgers fall apart very easily...

[@kerry_runs]

Aldi has good cheap vegan options

[@IAmGoddes]

Girl out here saving lives! 🥰

[@crystalortega2156]

You videos are so helpful! Keep them coming! Thank you so much! My daughter is 3 and she’s a natural born vegan because of all of her allergies and I’m always trying to find kid friendly foods for her.

[@izzymac4302]

You tried the two best Ben and Jerry's but the others aren't really that good. I'd def recommend haagen-dazs dairy free ice cream (my favorite is the chocolate salted fudge truffle) :)

[@madisun3445]

Izzy Mac Those are amaaaaazing

[@madisun3445]

Also Talenti

[@someguy2135]

Try freezing your own bananas. You will be amazed how good they are. Nice and creamy. Much cheaper and better for you.

[@rachelwalsh2028]

What I learned is that I need to shop at Whole Foods more 😂

[@jessie1238315]

Can you do vegan gluten free options?!

[@TR-mj4cr]

Yea carnivore diet

[@nomadicvibesofelle]

My daughter isn't vegan and I recently gave her the fishless filets. She loved them. She didn't realize that it wasn't meat until I told her two days later. 😁

[@sofhab280]

OK, of course I love this cast!😍 Greatest ideas here: different versions of Kevin as ages for Ramses and Keith as younger Shiro/Aaron, brilliant! This is tied as my favorite next to Rascal's Prince of Egypt cast now.
