As a vegan myself I feel like there’s some cool snack options, I was shocked you guys didn’t have hummus! It definitely takes time to learn more recipes and it gets easier

It's easier to eat plant based when you have more practice. You know your ingredients better and you know what you like, so it doesn't require as much thinking.

Cashew sour cream!!! Soak raw cashews for a few minutes to overnight (high power blender vs regular blender, respectively), drain, put in blender and cover with fresh water. Blend until smooth, best served chilled. We also make it with lime juice (1/8 of the water) or lime juice and cilantro (lots!).

Cashew sour cream is my go to for a salad dressing & as an Alfredo pasta sauce alternative! Soooo good! 😆 I was looking in the comments to see if anyone else suggested it 🙂

Katrina M I’m sorry, but how misinformed can you be? Have you never heard of deep fried foods, or possibly anything else? Pasta might not be the healthiest starch out there, but there are many whole grain pastas, and even regular pasta in moderation can be very nutritious. I implore you to educate yourself a bit, in regards to nutrition.

Hellmann's sells a vegan mayo that we used while vegan to make out own ranch. It's reasonably priced as plant-based products go. Just Mayo ranch is another good product but for a large family it may add up.

[@SnoCookie]

I have been vegan on a plant-based lifestyle for over a year.... I use Portabella mushrooms as my meat in tacos, sloppy Joe’s ,meatballs,... I also use eggplant and zucchini as my meat base and make meatballs ..I make a beef stew with a product called Gardein meatless beef it looks just like beef crumbled up you buy it it’s in the frozen section it’s plant-based and delicious.... you can use that for many recipes I make eggplant Parmesan with plant-based cheese it’s delicious....There are so many recipes plant-based.... it’s a little overwhelming I’m sure your first foray into , it but once you start thinking about it or go on Pinterest there’s so many recipes there and even if something isn’t vegan per se you can change it up and make it vegan ...two years ago my kidneys we’re failing they were at 10% function the doctor scheduled me to go in the hospital and insert a port for dialysis, which I refused , I was not going on dialysis.... I knew what that meant I knew that my life will soon cease ....and then my son came up with the plant-based lifestyle which I’ve embraced... and I want to tell you that within three months my kidney function went from 10% to 48% On a plant-based lifestyle.... I’ve been on this plant-based lifestyle for over a year.... I’ve never looked back

[@catbrodeur623]

[@annnguyenvu]

Next time you do vegan week or meals you should try hummus and tofutti products like tofu cream cheese and sour cream. They are my must have non dairy products to have. And olive oil and balsamic glaze to dip the bread in.

[@katelynkeenen5218]

For cream cheese I'd definitely recommend Violife or Kitehill (especially the chive) those 2 are the best that I've found that are widely accessible

[@brittanyrussell727]

How do u make the sandwiches

[@candulagirl7817]

Thrilled that u shared your idea of having "chick peas" w/mayo! A must try since I have cans of chick peas & wanted to change it up instead of my usual adding them to salad. Light went off when I saw the kids dipping bread into olive oil! My mom would have us dip celery sticks into olive oil w/garlic & S&P....a healthy/tasty choice which most liked. Mom also prepared a different version of tuna salad: tuna cut in pieces, plac'd on plate, covered w/little olive oil, onion, olives, S&P!. Thanks to you and the kids for a delightful, idea filled video!

I usually eat much later in the day. Now I'm hungry! You have managed to find fun ways to get the good stuff in. My diet is the moderation diet. "Everything in moderation". We could all benefit from new ideas and ways of doing things.

We participated in the Veganuary challenge this year - going vegan for the month of January. I didn't think it was so bad. For dinners, our favorite meals were tabbouleh bowls (tabbouleh, chickpeas, grilled zucchini), burgers (made with sweet potato, walnuts, and black beans), pastas (bolognese and eggplant), baked sweet potato bars, shepherd's pie (sub lentils and mushrooms in for beef), and chili nachos. Breakfasts were a lot of smoothies/smoothie bowls. Lunches leftovers and salads. We're not big snackers. I did miss having cream in my coffee for sure. Having to make our own condiments and dressings was the hardest part, for sure. That and remembering to soak and cook beans ahead of time got a little tedious. I thought it would be less expensive overall, but it wasn't! We did decide to be more plant-based going forward so I try to make all our breakfasts vegan now, plus 1-2 dinners a week vegan or vegetarian.

I would really recommend using hard tofu as substitute for meat. You can chop it up and marinade it just like with meat and fry it. Tofu doesn't taste much on it's own which is good cause that means you can flavour it anyway you like and you can basically substitute it for meat in any dish. It's like a sponge so it'll suck up all the flavours!

I always have to laugh whenever someone tells me, "go vegan!". I did it for a month and my hair started to fall out. I ate beans (black, pinto, chick pea, etc along with shrimp). Things I observed was a lot of animal protein was replaced with...sugar! I asked my vegan friends if they noticed that too. They admitted that they do eat a lot of sugar. Take away is, eat in moderation.

Melissa Myers Exactly. Animal products have so many micronutrients that simply are either not in plant foods or not found in any significant quantity. It is difficult to truly replicate them with plants, which is why things start to go wrong...like hair falling out, etc. And yes, so many vegans end up with a sugar overload.

Nutritional yeast is a game changer, with children there should be beans, tofu or tempeh at every meal. Tofu can be blended as a sour cream like sauce or a base for dressings. Nutritional yeast helps with b12, and cheesy flavor. I would have gotten vegan butter and a couple of things to help. Awesome job
