My Top Five Vegan Junk Foods

-
I have good news for anyone looking to transition to a vegan-diet: you may be surprised to find out some of your favorite sweet-tooth snacks are already vegan-friendly! The items on this list are certainly not “healthy”, but you can definitely eat them while knowing you are not contributing to any animal abuse. There are plenty more junk foods that are vegan, but these are my top 5! 
1. Ben and Jerry’s Dairy Free Ice Cream

These vegan ice creams are available in Chunky Monkey, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Coffee Caramel Fudge, Cherry Garcia, Coconut Seven Layer Bar, Caramel Almond Brittle, and PB & Cookies. My mom is OBSESSED with the Coconut Seven Layer Bar ice cream, and she is not even vegan! You can definitely get your non-veg friends and family hooked on these. ☺


2. Thin Mints




Recently, all Thin Mints are being made vegan! While other Girl Scout Cookies can be vegan depending on the company that produced them, Thin Mints are vegan across the board now! These were always my favorite cookies growing up, does it get it any better than this?


3. Sour Patch Kids

 Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love these little guys? Some candies contain gelatin, which is not vegan. However, Sour Patch Kids and some other candies can be surprisingly vegan!

4. Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili Flavor

While most other flavors of Doritos are not vegan, these ones happen to be completely free of animal products! You can still enjoy this crunchy, tasty treat without harming animals. These are great for serving at a party when you want to show friends and family that being vegan does not have to be boring.

5. Oreos


Almost all flavors of Oreos (in the USA, anyway) are free of animal products. It is still important to double check the ingredients, but all of the ones I have tried are vegan! My personal favorites are mint and peanut butter; I could eat a whole pack at once! I am drooling while writing this, do I need to say more?

Healthy & Flavorful Vegan Meals

Sometimes it can be helpful to meal prep for the week, especially if you are typically really busy. Here are some recipes that may be good for you if you want to make some good meals for yourself and your loved ones. One meal you could do is take some of the Gardein Chicken tenders and bake those. You can put them over some rice or shredded veggies with some seasoning. I usually put a lemon on the side to add some extra flavor. Another thing that I typically put lemon on is some fishless fillets by Gardein. I had this with some cauliflower rice with lemon and garlic to flavor it. I also decided to have some zucchini on the side for extra vegetables. Another meal I love making wraps with some tortilla chips. For this above, you can stuff a tortilla with cucumber, tomato, hummus, and any other veggies that could be added. This is a great meal that can be healthy but filling. I like to have tortilla chips and salsa on the side as well. The last one that I want to sha

With all of the greener lifestyles that are being adapted all around the world there are tons of questions about exactly what veganism is, and exactly how it pertains to animals. For the vast majority of people it is extremely important to realize that you simply cannot make a sudden change like shifting from eating burgers every day to living a successful vegan lifestyle overnight. However, it is also possible to make some substantial changes that are on the path to becoming vegan and showing animals the respect that you believe they deserve. Many people in the quest to treat animals better are appalled to learn that many countries use some rather unconventional animals as food; this for many people can be action that triggers their desire to change to a vegan lifestyle, however for others it is simply another reason in a long list of reasons. Many countries such as China make usage of animals such as dog for their meals and many times people are unhappy to learn this, how

What is Veganism?

Trying to create a new eating habit and switch to Veganism is something that more people are attempting to do each year. From a lifestyle that used to be quite uncommon, it has grown into a much more popular option and is finding a massive amount of support in all walks of life. People who work two jobs, people who live in multi-million dollar houses and even the rebelling teenager down the block are all likely to be vegans at this point. With so many people turning to veganism it is no doubt that you have wondered exactly what it would mean for yourself as well. Most people think that veganism is exactly like vegetarianism. However, this is actually highly incorrect; they are two completely separate ideas that only share a few similarities. Typically speaking vegetarianism is a much easier lifestyle to adapt and is much less rigid. Vegan is much stricter and can be much harder for someone to change to on a quick basis. This can make it extremely complicated to actual
