Veganuary is a popular UK non-profit organization that promotes and encourages people to go vegan in January month. The event began in 2014, and since then, people are becoming more active to go vegan in January. It is a crowdfunded campaign, where participants sign up online and receive daily supporting emails.
They are offered a vegan starter kit with a recipe database and product directories. Participants share images and recipes on social media and communicate the message that going vegan is easy and fun. Vegan food trends are making it easier for people to go vegan. Also, PETA is offering a Veganuary cheat sheet to encourage people to go vegan.
If you are also planning to go vegan but don’t know where to start, here is the datewise cheat sheet shared by PETA.
Order yourself a vegan starter kit that can guide you in turning a vegan more easily and healthily.
Support a local vegan restaurant b/y ordering vegan foods and sending positive reviews for them. You can find several restaurants that turned vegan or offer vegan foods to meet customer requirements.
Vegan meat, or better known as mock meat analogs, faux are products that resemble qualities of animal-based meat-like flavors and textures. Vegan meat is made up of wheat gluten, soya, or vegetable protein. So, head towards a local grocery store and go for any one of the vegan meats.
When you go for vegan ice cream or other dairy-free products, then you are also feeding cows. You can find several shops and brands that offer vegan ice cream options. So, on 7th January, taste vegan ice cream and share feedback.
Donate vegan food to someone in need or a local bank. Several food banks distribute foods to the communities in need and contribute vegan nonperishable items. This could be an excellent way to save animals and to help people in need.
Vegan fish is also a great option to eat in the Veganuary. Pay a visit to a local supermarket and select vegan fishes available.
PETA offers several free vegan recipes. Right from breakfast to dessert, you can try a variety of vegan recipes every day. If you are trying a new vegan recipe, don’t forget to post pictures on social media and tag @peta.
If you are turning into a vegan for the first time and come up with queries, then feel free to ask questions from the vegan experts and personal vegan coach. Read about PETA’s free vegan mentor program and then sign up for further guidance.
From home-made cheese to mac-n-cheese, try other delicious dairy-free cheeses that are available in the supermarket. Some vegan cheese contains whole foods like cooked vegetables and seeds with other spices to make it tastier.
Give vegan gifts like a vegan basket to people who are turning vegan for the first time. Fill the basket with vegan fish, vegan wine, vegan chocolates, and more. Giving gifts is also a sign of encouraging a person to go vegan.
Let the restaurants and cafes know how you feel about their vegan food. Do comment or share feedback about them with your friends and family. Let them know where they have to improve and what they have to stop.
Host a vegan party for your friends and family. Bake a vegan recipe or cook something new to impress your guest. Here are vegan tacos recipes that you can try this Veganuary.
Host a film screening with your non-vegan friends. Virtual parties are getting trendy these days. People are using Zoom, Teleparty, and other apps to party virtually and to discuss it together.
Inspire everyone to go vegan by putting colorful vegan boards outside your home. You can also display a PETA poster on a window or anywhere at your place to show people you are supporting a vegan lifestyle.
Now, when you are stacking up vegan goods at the grocery store, leave a stack of vegan starter kits in the magazine rack. You can also email PETA Team for free supplies.
Order free egg carton enhancer stickers or visit local stores and hand them to people you know would buy eggs.
Tell people you are going vegan by uploading a Facebook profile photo or using animal-friendly Instagram filters when sharing stories.
You know that Starbuck offers several delicious vegan milk options, like coconut milk, soy, and almond milk. But, customers do not find paying extra for that dairy-free milk a great option. It is time you should urge Starbucks to stop charging extra for choosing dairy-free milk products.
