How to be kind of vegan??

Question

I wasn’t planning on becoming a full vegan or anything, but do you guys have any tips on how to cut down on my animal product consumption? I already don’t eat that many dairy products, but I would appreciate some ideas and recipes to cut down on how much meat I’m eating

Answer

I think the easiest way to begin your transition is to think of it as “just this meal”. Or at least that’s what I did. I found telling myself I’d never have animal products again very daunting and it seemed impossible, so I just started by doing it one meal at a time. For every meal I ate, I asked myself “is there a way to make this plant-based?” And 9.9/10 times I ended up creating a vegan dish 🙂 if you need some inspiration, you can look up 1000’s of vegan recipes on Pinterest, and I also highly recommend the Thug Kitchen cookbooks because they really walk you through everything. 
In the meantime, here are some easy subs:
1. Instead of milk use plant based milks. To replace the creaminess of yogurt in a smoothie use frozen banana or avocado (peel the banana and break into chunks before freezing, otherwise you’ll never get it out of the skin lol) 
2. Next time you want tacos try using black beans or pinto beans instead of meat
3. Pack snacks. It’s not easy finding plant based takeout, so try to keep some almonds, fruit, or veggies and hummus with you
4. Invest in tahini, nutritional yeast, quinoa, and a good non stick pan. You’ll use them a fair bit.

Answer

It helped me a lot to pack my home with high protein vegan options and to focus more on fun yummy vegan options than on missing meat. Marinating and grilling portobellos , pea sprouts , lots of peanut products lots of bananas, hemp meal , Tempe I just think about how great these foods make me feel and I don’t call myself a vegan because strictly I’m not - and with a marine biology degree I can say it’s ecologically beneficial to consume farmed* shellfish like oysters and clams and locally produced honey.
