Do I have to go vegan overnight? +
Absolutely not. In fact, most people find a gradual transition much more sustainable. You might start with "Meat-Free Mondays", then expand to fully plant-based breakfasts, and so on. Every step counts and there is no timeline you need to follow.
Is vegan food expensive? +
Plant-based staples like lentils, beans, rice, oats, seasonal vegetables, and tofu are among the most affordable foods available. Vegan "convenience" products can be pricey, but a whole-food plant-based diet built around legumes and vegetables is typically cheaper than a meat-based diet.
Where do vegans get their protein? +
From an abundance of plant sources! Lentils, chickpeas, black beans, tofu, tempeh, edamame, quinoa, hemp seeds, nutritional yeast, and seitan are all protein-rich. A varied plant-based diet easily provides all essential amino acids throughout the day.
What supplements should vegans take? +
The main supplement most vegans benefit from is Vitamin B12, as it is not reliably available from plant foods. Many also supplement Vitamin D (especially in less sunny climates), iodine, and omega-3 DHA/EPA from algae. We recommend consulting a registered dietitian for personalised advice.
Can children eat a vegan diet? +
Yes, a well-planned vegan diet can support healthy development at all life stages, according to major dietetic organisations. It does require careful planning to ensure adequate intake of B12, calcium, iron, zinc, iodine, omega-3s and Vitamin D. Always work with a paediatric dietitian for guidance.
