Beginner's Plant-Based Shopping Guide

This guide is to help you discover a whole new world of food and flavors that won’t disappoint. Ok….some may….but don’t let that stop you. There will be plenty more that will ROCK! This guide is not intended to include EVERY vegan food option that is available; we just want to get you started with the basics. Be ready to take some time to explore the grocery stores to find all of the amazing plant-based choices.  

Many things that you already eat may be plant-based. Other things that you wouldn’t imagine have animal products in it, do. Bread, for example, often has milk in it. The most important thing to do is to read ingredients on everything. When a label says “this may contain” or “made in a facility that uses”, it is not made with that ingredient; it is an allergen disclaimer.  

Now is the best time to switch to plant-based foods.  The food world is offering more and more options every day.  It is no longer the cardboard-tasting veggie patties of the 80's era. If you are craving the flavor and texture of meats or cheeses, they are available to you in plant-based form.

The future is plant-based!  Please join us!
