What are the types of food that Vegans eat?!
I going vegan and don't know what to eat and what not to eat!?!?HelpWww@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Hey, I went vegan recently!. I don't think it's as hard as everyone makes out, and I don't think you need to eat a bunch of weird foods, or even eat a lot of tofu if you don't want to!. I don't eat tons of tofu or algae or anything!. The foods a lot of people worry about most are sweets (like ice cream) - there are plenty of alternatives there!. Dark chocolate is usually vegan, most packaged cookies (including oreos) are vegan, and sorbet is a good alternative to ice cream at a conventional ice cream parlor!. There are less store-bought bakery options, but you can easily make those for yourself with soymilk and butter substitutes!. Here are some simple meal plans:
Breakfast:
Cereal with soymilk/almondmilk/ricemilk
Fruit salad
Oatmeal with raisins
A fruit smoothie
Easy lunches:
Pasta salad
Salads (toss in some garbanzo beans or candied nuts for protein)
Hummus-cucumber sandwich with tomato, sprouts, and lettuce
Fruit salad
Thermos of soup
Hummus with sliced vegetables and pita
Lunch/dinner meals:
Wild rice pilaf served with salad
Spanish rice and beans with corn or tortillas
Pasta with marinara or sauteed veggies and olive oil
Vegetable stir-fry with brown rice
Spicy tofu with rice
Udon noodles with vegetables and soy sauce
Miso soup
Vegetable sushi
Falafel sandwich
Bean and rice burrito (grilled vegetables optional)
Lentil soup and fresh bread
Bean soups or stews
Vegetable soups
Vegetable lasagna
Butternut squash ravioli with sage and olive oil
Good snacks:
Raisins or other dried fruit
Nuts
Chips and salsa
Vegetables with dip
A piece of fruit
Good luck!

Type!? They eat the non meat/non meat by product type of food!. They avoid anything that has anything to do with animals: eggs, milk, honey,sugar, leather, gelatin, etc etc!. also includes non food items such as leather, fur, feathers and the like!. some even go to the extent of avoiding or giving up pet ownership (that's a point of debate even among vegans themselves)
Just curious though how and why you would want to be a vegan and yet not know anything much about it!. I would think that before you would be "going" something, you would at least know what the "going" would take!.It's like saying "I want to be a lawyer!. By the way, what is a lawyer anyway and what do they do!?" Not trying to discourage you or anything but you should do a bit more research before you start "going vegan"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

DO eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, dark chocolate, and soy products!.
DON'T eat meat, dairy products, honey, jello, non-vegan sugar, or eggs!.
Going vegan can be very healthy if done right, there are many vegan Olympic athletes!. I applaud you for making this difficult but important decision!. Remember to drink lots of water to stay hydrated, and don't be afraid to try new things!. Probably the best thing about quitting meat is the huge number of new foods you have the opportunity to try!. I suggest you go down to your local library and get out a few books about vegan cooking to get your started - the library always has the best stuff!. Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can eat anything that doesn't come from an animal!. With the right recipes, the possibilities of creating your favorite dishes are endless!. Many recipes are also very easy to veganize! Some of our favorite vegan recipes: meatballs in sweet BBQ sauce, meatloaf, nacho cheese and teriyaki tofu! Mmmm! I'll never go back to meat, the plant world has it all!Www@FoodAQ@Com
