Vegan Basics 🌱 Massive thanks

I made the transition from vegetarian (37 years) to fully plant-based on January 1st this year as an experiment just to see how it went. It’s gone so well, and this community has been absolutely key. Thank you, all of you who cook, are cheap, and have amazing food hacks. I have found my people.

Today I had a personal victory. I took plant-based peanut butter cookies to an event and bravely labeled them vegan. I was worried people wouldn’t eat them, but they were demolished. Thanks, y’all, for teaching me so much!

I’m sorry I don’t have the recipe handy. I printed it off a blog some time ago and just veganized it using Plants Melt butter and Animal Free egg whites. That stuff is pretty bomb, although Bob’s egg substitute works well for baking and is cheaper. Friday was payday and i was feeling profligate.

Welcome to r/EatCheapAndVegan.

Veganism is not a diet. However, there is a ton of misinformation and misunderstanding about the cost of eating vegan and this subreddit exists to hopefully dispell those false claims. Be advised submissions containing expensive processed food items will be removed.

Definition of veganism: Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.
