Hi Reader,

​

Today, we're gonna talk about a topic that might hit close to home for some of you -

​

"How to Go Vegan if You Have Food Allergies."

​

We know making the switch to a vegan lifestyle can be a bit challenging, especially when you're dealing with food allergies. But don’t worry, we've got your back!

​
​

Know Your Allergens:

• First things first, you’re gonna need to identify your food allergies like a vegan detective. Whether it's nuts, soy, or gluten – understanding your allergens will be your superpower.

Explore Vegan Alternatives:

• The great thing is, there are tons of alternatives available on the market that are plant-based (and actually taste good). Swap out allergen-laden ingredients with their plant-based buddies. Almond milk bothering you? Coconut, oat, or rice milk could be your new best friends. (I vote for Oat, it’s INCREDIBLE, in my humble opinion)

Whole Foods FTW:

• Fruits, veggies, grains, and legumes are the real MVPs. Go for whole, unprocessed foods to keep things simple and allergen-free. Once you have your base down, then it’s easier to build upon it.

DIY Delights:

• Channel your inner kitchen maestro and whip up your own meals. This gives you Total Control over what goes into your food, ensuring a safe and allergen-free feast.

Label Literacy:

• Get cozy with labels. Scan those ingredient lists like you're reading the latest bestseller. Many packaged vegan products proudly flaunt their allergy-friendly status. In fact, there is a section after the ingredients are listed that list if any common allergens are in the product. Head there as well to make sure you’re safe.
