What can vegans eat?
Is there vegan bread and butter i miss butter on toast. Ive just turned vegan and i dont now much about vegan food. What can vegans eat no jokes please.
Answers:
Ok lets clear up something.
VEGETARIANS can eat dairy products and anything produced by a animal (but not meat of course)
VEGANS cannot eat anything produced by a animal, which includes dairy products, eggs, honey, and obviously meat.
You can eat butter substitutes, put try to stay away from most processed foods. Also be careful because alot of breads have eggs or milk in them. You can get vegan foods at almost any grocery stores these days or you could go to a health food store.
Vegans don't eat anything that casts a shadow
Nothing with a face.
Vegetable's? Fruit's? Some Eat Fish.
vegans dont eat anything that has a face or anything that comes from anything with a face. you can eat fruit and vegetables.
This is a great website for vegans.
Much kudos for you. I hardly eat meat, but I could never go vegan. I love chocolate too much!

There are some soy based products on the market. Check the organic/health food sections of your market. Some brands mark their food as vegan safe.
For more info on vegan diets, talk to your doctor - he/she should be able to provide some healthy eating guidelines. Also, check in health foodstores for vegan magazines and cookbooks. There are some good ones out there. You need to make sure that you are meeting your daily requirements for iron, calcium and Omega-3's.
I find it interesting that you've "turned vegan" without researching exactly what that entails.
Vegans generally don't eat any food with animal parts or biproducts... this includes dairy and eggs. Try the link below. It's got lots of vegan substitutions.
Yes they have vegan bread.Make sure the bread doesn't have eggs,milk(or whey), and mono diglcyerides.you can find it easily at a health food store.They also have margirane,but try to go to a health food store and buy non-hydrogenated margirine,they also have stuff called better than butter.Just try and buy foods that are as little processed as possible and you'll be fine.
i be live u can have peanuts and there is line of frozen meals that cater to the vegan menu.Morning Star is line vegan meals and breakfast meals and there is vegan Mexican meal out .They seal some vegan stuff at Walmarts and Specialty stores. Being Vegan is one of the most expensive but healthy life choices. Have you tried to google vegan meal options in the search engine . Because I'd hate for u to revert back your old eating pattern .I'm not vegan but I do eat like one some times for my dairy product s I drink Soy milk but I eat veggies alot of them ..I make a good eggplant Parmesan with fake non dairy cheese and a squash lasagna with a non -meat sauce. I love those meals but that's a healthier option being vegan and you don't feel all sluggish either and have less high blood pressure issues.
No meat, fish or dairy products.
I know a few vegetarians but none could go without chocolate.
Bread is fine, as are mushrooms. Not sure about honey.
I solved this in a creative manner. I invested in a cow (don't worry, there are other ways) and enjoy the raw butter that I make from her cream. She would become engorged if not milked, and therefor she gladly gives up her gift of milk. I churn the butter and make lovely raw cheeses using vegetarian rennet. When she calves, I forgo the milk in order for her to nurse her calf. She is pampered and well cared for. I consider her milk to be a gift. I feel the same way about eggs from well cared for chickens. I figure the hen lays an egg because it is unfertilized-just like a human females period-its not a baby, just unfertilized eggs. If the egg were left to rot, that would be pointless. You can get raw milk from happy cows at most food co ops (I didn't even know my small town had one) or a local dairy. I practice veganism in all other aspects-avoiding products tested on animals, etc. I asked some of the vegans on here their thoughts on this, and no one could find fault with it. I think balance is the key to all-not everyone fits into a neat little label. If you miss butter, then have some butter from a happy cow. I feel no guilt over the way I resolved this problem. I have severe food allergies, and cannot eat most of the things that vegans do, such as soy, tofu. wheat, and other things. I needed protein and fats from other sources, and this is how I solved it. Hope this helps a bit. (isnt it silly how we have to always mention no jokes? This topic draws alot of angry meat eating people, doesnt it) lol
Yeah theres vegan butter, milk, yogurt and even cheese(its not very nice though). Vega butter, milk and yogurt is basically soya. I have soya butter which tastes basically the same, and the milk and yogurt. The milk doesn't taste as nice as normal milk but its actually ok and the yogurt is okay too. Theres a brand of yogurt sold at supermarkets and they flavour it with fruit so it tastes a lot better.
You can go to Waitrose or Sainsburys and get these items, just look out for soya.
I'm a vegeterian but not a strict vegan. I just try and eat dairy free because I don't feel its very healthy. Seriously though even cooking for yourself as a vegan is so hard, if you go to a restaurant its hard enoug being a vegeterian but as a vegan you will seriously find nothing on the menu.
Also try and go on the Peta website ( just google Peta) and somewhere on there they have information for people who ar vegans. Also check out a local organic health food shop and tell someone who works there you have become vegan and they should be more than happy to help you.
First of all, welcome to the cruelty free world. You'll see your benefits as the time goes on.
As a vegan (a type of vegetarian), you must exclude all animal products - meat, fish, milk, dairy products, eggs, animal fats, honey etc. Any product which contains anything derived from animal's is known as a non-vegan product. You can't use anything what kills or exploits animals on any way. It's not that hard believe me.
The best solution about bread would be to eat a self-made bread. You'll be sure it's a vegan. Mix some brown flour with sesame, water, soy milk, baking soda (or yeast) and you'll be completely satisfied.
About butter, there is a soy based butter, but I wouldn't recommend it because of it's high levels of fats and proteins. Instead I recommend peanut or sesame butter, because of their nutritional values.
Also don't forget, by using anything tested on animals, and by wearing fur, leather, silk and/or wool you're supporting the animal's suffering.
Be natural! It's all you should do.
I love toast too!
So here is a the best.toast.you.will.ever.eat! *I hope you are in the US since these brands are available here.
Get some Rudi's Colorado Cracked Wheat bread (or any of their varieties - they are more expensive but they are SO worth it)
Get some Earth Balance spread - this vegan butter has no hydrogenated oil, all natural and tastes better than dairy butter!!! (really)
Toast and enjoy! (I use some Whole Foods brand strawberry jam when I want some variety!)

Also
Holland & Barret have a wide varity of products for Vegetarian & Vegans, u can buy jelly sweets & Vegan Chocolate etc.
Hope u suceed in ur new healthy living, I've been vegetarian for 14yrs now, and its great, my views to dairy products are eggs & milk are a by product to the cows, hens etc. I stayed with friends who own a dairy farm and asked everything, thinking about the cruelty of milking etc and was told if a cow isn't milked its becomes very painful and uncomfortable for her. As for eggs I only on occasion when I touch eggs buy free range, never battery eggs.
No offence but as a vegan I have to say you've been a bit daft.Not switching to being vegan-that's great,but switching without finding out about vegan alternatives.
Most supermarkets sell dairy free spread which tastes just like margarine.

eat wot you like and be happy!
Natural markets would probably carry vegan bread. Earth Balance is a vegan "buttery" spread that is fantastic.
First of all, congratulations on joining the cruelty free, ethically sound world of being vegan!
Yes, you can have butter on toast. Pure make a range of vegan margarines which are readily available in most supermarkets and indeed most breads are vegan, but do check the label. CoOp label all their products to let you know they are vegan, their breads are no exception.
You can eat just about anything that says "suitable for vegans" and anything that doesn't contain any animal products. Also, you'll need to look at cutting out leather, silk, wool and other fibres made from animals.
Veganism is a lifestyle that is built around three things 1. Reducing cruelty to animals 2. Reducing exploitation of poor communities and 3. Reducing your impact on the environment. Keep this three things in mind and you can't go wrong.
Good luck, and here are a couple of sites you should visit to help you out.

You should have researched before turning vegan. You can eat anything that doesn't contain any animal ingredients at all.
Make sure you get a varied diet and you'll be fine.
