Veganuary Top Tips

Whether you are doing Veganuary for a meal, week or the whole month here are our top tips:

Find your motivation

As with any lifestyle change you need a solid motivation to keep you going. There are many great reasons why you might swap more plant-based food into your diet; for a greener planet, better health, animal cruelty. Find a reason that inspires you. We would recommend watching Cowspiracy, Seaspiracy, The Game Changers, What the Health, and Earthling Ed’s you tube debates.

Find out your carbon footprint here and the difference you can make by going vegan. A not so fun vegan fact is: The average western carbon footprint from food is about 1.7 tonnes of CO2 per year. With a vegetarian diet this can be almost halved, and a vegan diet has about 15% less than a vegetarian one!

Keep veganuary simple

You don’t have to completely change the way you eat. If you normally eat frozen pizza for dinner just swap to a vegan frozen pizza. You don’t suddenly have to become a whizz in the kitchen and use ingredients you have never heard of before.

Be kind to yourself

It’s almost inevitable that you’ll make mistakes, but that is OKAY! Don’t be hard on yourself it can be an overwhelming change. Remember how much you are adding to your diet, rather than what you are taking away. Our biggest tip is to get used to reading labels. Allergens are listed in bold so watch out for milk and eggs. May contain means the product was produced in a factory with non-vegan ingredients which isn’t great for allergies but fine for vegans!

It’s not just about food

Check your cosmetics and cleaning products. You’ll be surprised how many aren’t vegan and cruelty-free. Our products are vegan and cruelty-free. Make an easy and simple swap today – delivered straight through your door.
