What to Tell Your Family When You Want To Transition
If your family did not reach the conclusion to become vegan by unanimous vote then you may have to do some convincing. Then again maybe not! Whatever the situation here are a few reasons to share with your family why going vegan is good.
1. You will save money. Replacing meat with more vegetables and fruit is estimated to cut food bills by an average of $4,000 a year. That’s a family vacation a year or some other type of fun.
Remove the Junk Now
Does your family snack too much on junky foods? Are you ready to clean your pantry of all the junk that sits in wait for you to consume it and fill your body with toxic ingredients like sugar and salt. In determining what needs to go you have to take the time to look into the pantry and find all foods that are processed, hydrogenated, and artificial and even some things that have a long shelf life.
Vegan Pigs In A Blanket
A homemade version of a fun breakfast idea.
Whip up a batch of pancakes and freeze them in short stacks of three. Just a package or two of vegan sausage links is all that you needed to create this quick and economical meal idea. Thaw out a stack of pancakes. Heat up three sausages in the microwave. Wrap a pancake around each sausage.
Voila!
You’ve got an instant pig in a blanket. Eat it as you watch the last of your favorite morning show or as you walk to the bus stop. It can be eaten in the car without too much fuss or mess. For a sweeter taste and less mess, add a little maple syrup or agave nectar to the batter when makingthe pancakes.
