STEP 1: LIST (fruits and veggies)
Make a list of all the fruits and veggies you already like. This is a great place to start and you might be surprised by how long the list is. Keeping meals simple is the key to making this transition. It can get overwhelming with the amazing vegan recipes and cookbooks out there. My hack was putting 3 fruits or veggies on a plate. Simple and easy!
STEP 2: FIND (transitional foods)
Find vegan options for everything you like. From burgers to ice cream to pizza, plant based alternatives abound. Vegan alternatives are making there way to main stream grocery stores and restaurants so making the choice has never been easier. Even if you have a sweet tooth like me, the vegan options are endless. It’s not about giving up anything, think of it as substituting vegan options for the foods you already like.
STEP 3: PLAN (your meals)
This is the not so sexy part. Staying disciplined is the key to this. Plan your meals and stick to it as much as possible. Most people use their cravings to guide their choices and determine what they eat. Plan your meals and your path to veganism will be a much smoother one.
