One of the many things I love about this blog is that every week I get to meet people who have decided to go vegan. It's wonderful being in touch with them and being able to support them and be a resource for them.
One of things that I have realized that seems to be common with people going vegan is that they are not used to buying a lot of vegetables. When I tell them what we typically buy they tend to be a little surprised.
So I decided to write this post and let you know what we typically have in our fridge. You will notice some items that tend to be considered healthy. I definitely do not consider myself an expert in nutrition but I do have links to nutrition experts on the main page.
Here we go:
Rice milk
Orange juice
Dates
Brocolli
Cauliflower
Kale
Swiss Chard
Spinach
Pears
Apples
Red peppers
Celery
Blackberries
Blueberries
Tofurky slices
Daiya shredded cheese
Vtopian cheese
Some vegan empanadas from Maria Empanada
Earth balance spread and sticks
Tofu
Treeline cheese
Tortillas
Veganaise
Braggs
We also have a lot of the compliments, too many to list.
I hope this is helpful to those of you who are new to being vegan, or even those who are looking for new food ideas. We really try to eat more fruits and veggies and less processed foods. We don't always succeed, but I definitely think we are on the right track.
Thanks for reading!
Gay and vegan in the burbs (of Los Angeles). I blog about veganism, equality, compassion, activism, politics, spirituality and the awesome life experiences of The Gay Vegans. The "s" includes my husband, Mike! I believe that we all have more in common than not and that we all have the power to be the voice of the voiceless. I want this blog to be a tool for me to build bridges amongst communities and those with differing opinions.

Sounds a lot like my fridge. I think there should be a refrigerator that is mostly temperature/humidity controlled veg/fruit bins for vegans!
ReplyDeleteYeah, all of those things sound about right! But we like Almond and Coconut milk :D and yummmmmmmm veganaise just for the veggie dip I make with it! So good. Other than that, I really never liked mayonnaise or veganaise for anything haha. But this was a cute blog entry :) Do you juice the swiss chard, or what?
ReplyDeleteHi Jamie! Thanks for reading! We use swiss chard in tofu scramble and as a side for dinner. Ihave used it in smoothies but not often.
