We often hear people saying they can not be vegan due to a lack of time. Well, about vegan food, it is interesting to have some time to prepare a few things, but nothing so different from what a non-vegan person needs to prepare to eat a healthy diet. Those who choose to eat out or order ready meals can choose from a variety of omnivorous food offerings. Here we will present some suggestions for eating well and without animal cruelty every day.
Custard: The exclusion of cheese from the menu may appear problematic due to its practicality and flavor. This is usually the final item to be left out of the ovolactovegetarian transition to veganism. Our recommendation is to always have pasties at home – some are freezable! – so that you can guarantee great food accompaniment for toast, salads, tapioca, and bread, which can be used for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Options: tahini hummus, olive pate, and jam: freezable. You can make a larger amount and freeze by portion. Guacamole, pesto, tofu ricotta, chestnut residue cheese, yam, or chestnut curd: not freezer-friendly, but last for a few days in the refrigerator.
Vegetables, fruits, and others:
When you go shopping, make sure that all the vegetables and fruits are washed and stored dry. When you are hungry, it is easier to prepare something quickly or take something with you to work, school, etc. No excuses that you were on the run and didn’t have enough time to eat!
Bread:
All in all, you can freeze your rolls! The trick is to heat them in the oven for a minute or two to bring them back to their crunchiness. Plus tip: most loaves of bakery bread are vegan, but always check the packaging or with the seller.
Kinds of milk:
Having milk ready is great for preparing cakes, porridges, sweet and savory creams, pies, ice cream, sauces… There are also some that you can freeze when using in recipes (to drink with coffee or plain, with cereals, etc., prefer it fresh ) such as chestnuts, sunflower seeds, peanuts, almonds; and to preserve in the refrigerator like coconut and oat milk. If you find the consistency of frozen milk after thawing a little strange, you can hit the blender again.
Remains and peels:
Veganism is also about sustainability! The less garbage we produce, the better. Are we going to get more from our waste and peels? The leftover seeds, fruits, and oilseeds you use to make your vegetable milk can become creamy ricotta, and base for cookies, bars, and crumbs. The peels of vegetables that will not be used for the preparation of the meal can be cleaned and transformed into a beautiful vegetable broth. Some fruit peels can also be used to make dehydrated snacks or teas.
