6 Vegan An Vegetarian Alternatives For Beginners

In This Article:

Food shopping when trying to be become vegetarian can be overwhelming. I remember my first food shopping trip I got a ton of things I really didn't need. Thats why my trial and error is great for anyone starting off. This list is some of my favorite staples I have used. I hope this makes your journey into living plant based easier for you.

Morning star maple sausage patties

A great alternative you can use for breakfast or you can even chop it up and put it in your gravy for pasta.

Gardein quinoa breaded nuggets

I loved chicken nuggets as a kid. I have gone through many nugget alternatives so I was so happy when I finally found one I liked. I have friends who eat regular nuggets and couldn't tell the difference.

Tofu

Tofu is a staple in my diet. I pair it with everything and you can sauté it however you want. It is so versatile. Pair it with some stir fry trust me its delicious.

Beyond meat burgers

These burgers are delicious. They are my staple during the summer. My family will sometimes choose these burgers over regular ones, thats how good they are.

Tofurkey deli slices

Going vegetarian doesn't mean meals cant be quick. Tofurkey deli slices are a great alternative to ham and for quick lunch sandwiches. it contains a lot of protein and still taste good.

Morning star corn dogs

I live a pretty much plant based life. But finding alternatives to childhood favorite foods is my favorite thing. Corn dogs bring me back to fairs and amusement parks. They have regular ones and mini corn dogs. How cute is that. If you are looking for a treat these are great.

There are so many great alternatives I haven't listed. My favorite brands are Morning Star, Gardein, Quorn, Boca, and Beyond Meat. I would try it out regardless if your vegetarian or not. This could be a great start to meatless Mondays.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together.

Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
