It is impossible to list all the foods that vegans eat, but on this page we give you some guidelines to choosing vegan foods, and some suggestions on what to get.

Keep in mind the new four foods groups of the vegan diet: vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes. It is always a good idea to balance your diet and eat some of each food groups on a regular basis.

Vegetables
Buy a wide variety of vegetables, preferably the deep green and yellow-orange ones. White and sweet potatoes are excellent foods. Avocados are high in oil content; therefore, use them sparingly. Fresh vegetables are the best, frozen would be an acceptable second choice, with canned vegetables your last choice. Be sure to read the labels.

Fruits
Buy a variety of fresh, ripe fruits to use at breakfast with your whole grain cereals or at supper time. Apples are one of the best fruits. Citrus fruits are good, too.

Grains
Eat many different types of whole grains, such as whole wheat, rye, oats, rolled oats, brown rice, millet, buckwheat, 100% cornmeal, and whole barley. Cook whole by themselves or in a mixture with other grains. For variety, grind them.

Pastas
Buy whole grain products, such as spaghetti and macaroni made from whole wheat, corn, spinach, artichokes, or soy flours. Check labels carefully.

Legumes
Legumes are dry beans and peas. For economy, buy these in bulk. Use a variety throughout the week or month. Good choices include pinto and red beans, garbanzos (chick peas), lentils, black beans, split peas (green or yellow), great northern, navy or white beans, and lima beans. Soybeans are high in fat and protein; thus, they should be used sparingly.

Nuts & Seeds
Use very sparingly. Nuts and seeds are classed as concentrated foods because of their high fat content. Limit nuts to 1/6 to 1/10 of the ingredients in loaves and casseroles. Almonds are the king of nuts for nutritional value.

Bread
Make your own bread if at all possible. Read labels very carefully and choose whole grain breads and bread products as much as possible. Remember that the term "wheat flour" refers to white, refined flour.

Crackers
Some good choices are Norwegian Ideal whole grain flat bread, crispbread wafers, Ryquita crisp, rye bread, Hol-Grain Waferets, Finn Crisp, Rye Krisp. Some stores carry 100 percent whole wheat matzos - look for the variety made without eggs. Also, read labels carefully as some companies make product variations that may not be the best choices for a healthy diet.

Condiments
Sweet herbs often enhance the natural flavor of food. Most sweet herbs are available in supermarkets; however, natural foods stores often carry them in bulk at much lower prices.

Soy ice cream
Meat is not your only source of protein

Should buy a cookbook

if u dont know maybe u shouldnt be one...

There is lots of stuff you can eat as a vegan. You really need to do your research because there are thousands of great things out there. Go to a health food store like Whole Foods and you can find great things there..and most will say Vegan right on the outside so you don't have to read all of the labels. There is even Vegan chocolate cakes! And Bocca burgers are great too!

If you become a vegan then you cant eat or consume animal products! Diary-free ice cream, soy products. You have to take supplements!

I LOVE tofutti ice cream, especially better than pecan.

I like this one

Um... protein is far more abundant in fruits, veggies, and beans than in any of the nasty products the meat and dairy industries pump out.

I had dairy-free fudge ice cream last night, and it was awesome.
