Designing a vegan grocery list can be hard, especially if you are new to veganism. However, there are so many amazing vegan options out there, and vegan shopping can become an enjoyable and essential part of your vegan experience - if you shop the right way, of course!
Shopping begins with the grocery list. A successful shopping trip relies on a smart grocery list. But some vegans do not know what to put on their grocery lists! They may be trapped between their old world of meat and their new world of leafy greens, and are confused about what exactly shoould be eating. If you are one of those vegans, and are worried about not getting the vegan food best for you, don't worry! By the end of this interactive guide you would have mastered the technique of building a proper vegan grocery list!
A good grocery list (regardless if it's vegan) should be driven by two needs - nutrition and your tastes. If these two needs are in balance (one could make the argument that nutrition should carry a bit more importance than your tastes as well - it's just up to you, really!), then you have a good grocery list! In this guide you will get to choose the vegan foods that you like from each food group (fruits, vegetables, starches, etc.) to build your very own grocery list around NUTRIENTS and TASTE!
