[@ladyofthemoonflower]

So my main takeaway: Being vegan in the beginning is expensive and gets way cheaper as time goes on. I blame replacement foods.

[@alexisgeiser4387]

Even some replacement foods are cheap! I hate beyond beef Bc I’m 6 years a vegan and the flavor is overwhelming for me. My family’s favorite is Gardein Crumbles and I can find them for like 3.50 at Target!

[@wnterbird2976]

Well, actually i find it was the opposite for me. I never had replacements bc i was so picky and i couldbt get very adventurous with my food then later i decided to be more creative and try more substitutes.

[@rainacosette5465]

Youuuuu got it! I've been vegan for 10 years now and i started off buying replacement meats and cheeses and such so my food bill was like $400 a month (ridiculous, I know) but by now I've learned how to cook all of the foods I like from only foods from the farmers market or aldi's, so my bill is about $100 a month :)

[@TheRivalConcept]

Well wht do you mean replacement foods? Like transitioning foods?

[@Lucario9d]

how is that your takeaway?

[@Menel-sg1rh]

Indonesian food example for vegan and vegetarian; - Karedok (raw vegetable with savory and spicy peanut sauce) - Gado-gado (steam vegetable with sweet and spicy peanut sauce) - Terancam (mix local vegetable with spicy cooked shreded coconut, with an aromatic ginger as an added ingredient) - Gudeg (Made from jackfruit, cooked with brown sugar and coconut milk, with a load off aromatic and flavorful spices) - Tempe bacem (Sweet marinated tempe) - Tahu bacem (Sweet marinated white tofu) - Sambal tumpang (Fermented tempe cooked with chili, aromatic ginger, red onion, and coconut milk) - Balado Kentang (diced potato with chili) And many more from a simple veggies sautes till sophisticated style of cooking.

I do try to start with water though, but I eat breakfast every day, and when I have to skip it due to poor time management, I have granola bars to eat on the way to work/school and emergency frozen vegan meals to eat at my destination.

Taylor I was poking more fun at the concept of not having money even to afford the very inexpensive stuff. I actually have been in that situation and it sucks. Not having money is not funny, but a lot of us usually use humor to cope with that. So that’s something else I wanted to point out.

Of cause, not astonishing at all if you ask me, less processed means less production time and effort as well as no need to have a scientific development team behind it.

Love this! I constantly have people telling me "Aw, I wish I could go vegan but it's too expensive" and I always have to explain that it really doesn't have to be expensive at all. Personally, I find it cheaper than what I was eating before I was vegan bc meat and dairy are actually quite expensive. I was even living before the poverty line and was still able to eat nutritious vegan food with staples like bananas, rice, beans, and oats. It only gets expensive when you buy the boujee alternatives that really aren't necessary.

[@kraziiXIII]

The hard part of being vegan isn't the actual food you have to eat but learning how to cook beyond meat, veggie, carb, repeat and learning how to slowly implement vegan choices. That is where I've been struggling the most. Like I've come to view meat in the last six months as an occasional thing rather than a daily or even weekly thing. Same with a lot of dairy products. Like I have a sensitivity to milk so i haven't drank straight cow's milk in probably over two years, but I've struggled to find good replacements for yogurt, sour cream and my favorite food cheese. Chao slices have definitely saved my hind end for my grilled cheese fixes. Still haven't found a homemade vegan cheese yet or like cheese board cheese replacements or a good plain greek yogurt replacement. I am trying to go for a practical, more realistic approach since I have issues with disordered eating and my end goal is to have 80% of my meals vegan, 15% vegetarian and 5% omnivore(?) for the time being. It gives me the flexibility I need to fall off the wagon or be a week day vegan and a weekend/special ocassion/holiday omnivore.

Girl: “$10 Coconut Yogurt” Everyone: sheesh the prices in LA Erin: THATS NOT VEGAN

[@warpaint329]

I'm not vegan, but these all look delicious!

[@SingingSealRiana]

I cook vegan since I'm 12 for variety, although I will never be able to go vegan. But there are just so many fun things to do you would not consider if not restricted and eating pizza, Macncheese and burger all days. While I'm absolutely not a fan of soy and mock meats, I enjoy tempeh based on other legumes. Soups and curries based on coconutmilk, cake using flax seeds instead of eggs and I totally love the tast of a good oatmilk in my coffee ^^

@@sarahelizabeth2359 for short, I totally could resist the temptation, I know cause I more or less recently crossed all and everything people crave from my plate... But it does not make sense from a health perspective in my special case.

[@xerav1]

The reason I love watching most of these vegan recipes and videos, most of them just classify as halal food unless you are using alcohol or any item that is not halal. but all these nine recipes qualify as halal, so I can easily replicate them. even though I am not a vegan.

[@euskopost.5354]

Yes!! and halal restaurants are usually great for vegetarians and vegans,so it goes both ways 💚

[@smahane3155]

@Sstun Taar by ZSA omg exactly! Especially when you don’t live in a country where the majority isn’t Muslim, it can be very hard with products. I felt very happy seeing your comment, knowing we’re together in this :)

[@Swameh]

I appreciate Mei giving a good rundown on the more expensive products, especially for new vegans, and I have to say that Rachel's recipes overall are the most appealing. Will is a hoot & needs his own segment.

People who don't soak their beans before cooking them are really making their own lives so difficult 😂

[@jengilbert8858]

It's easier & faster to pressure cook them without soaking. An electric pressure cooker also saves on electricity use vs electric stovetop

[@lindsiria]

For people who aren't aware, soaking your beans overnight will help break them down, so you aren't gassy after eating them. Cooking them for an hour will make them edible... but you can easily get bloated.

[@fullmetalalchemist4562]

youlovelindseyyay My bowels are soo used to beans and lentils that I don’t get farty or bloated

[@karinamed5473]

I soak my beans overnight and still have to cook them for a while. I have no idea how she only boiled it for an hour

[@Vanessa-fs7oz]

@@karinamed5473 I was thinking the same thing. I don't trust that those beans are done, but the recipe was still great. She reminded me how much money (and waste) I'll save cooking beans from dry rather than from canned.

[@grace-lb2nw]

Mei didn’t even make anything she actually eats on a daily basis. She probably just saw this as a chance to use Goodful’s budget to buy what she doesn’t usually buy.

[@allieb3477]

As someone who’s never eaten meat before I want to see how people take that challenge

[@jaminwaite3867]

It’s always the cheaper version...beans, lentils, peas, tofu, edamame, tempeh, etc.

[@SingingSealRiana]

I would not count chickpea flour as an egg substitute. It is a cheap, whole food and preparing it similar to eggs is anciant in India and other countries close, it is its own thing. Same goes for natural tofu and tempeh. But yeah, otherwise I'm real not fond of substitutional ingredients which are often highly processed, expensive and unnecessary. Coming up with vegan recipes without those really should not be that big of a deal as it is framed as.

[@Cinia18]

Yes as someone who is going vegan I don’t want to just replace my meat with vegan meat .
