A lot of people think that to be vegan, you have to give up all of the things that you love. My face scrunches up every time someone says “give up”. Those are two separate words that should never be put together in the same sentence, because of the negative connotation. In terms of eating, the words “give up” imply that you are forgoing something that you truly do not want to forgo and I don’t believe that you ever have to “give up” anything to become the person you want to be. As you all know by now, my favorite line is “you don’t have to give up what you love, you just have to find a new way to do it.” That’s why I created a list of new ways to enjoy the same old things you love…vegan style. Most of these items can be found at Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Sprouts, HEB, Walmart, or Kroger.
