5 Tips For Your First Veganuary

Last year more than 400,000 people signed up to the month-long challenge to follow a vegan diet for January. If you’ve been thinking about doing the same this year, perhaps you’re wanting to make the transition to a fully vegan lifestyle, or you just want to see what the hype is all about, we’ve created some top tips to help guide you through the month. 1. Sign up to Veganuary When you sign up to Veganuary, you receive a celebrity e-cookbook along with 31 recipes, nutrition tips and more. And better yet, it’s 100% free! 2. Plan your meals Following a vegan lifestyle overnight can be challenging to start off with, so try planning your meals in advance to help you feel more organised. 3. Follow Instagram and Facebook pages Social media pages can really help if you need inspiration or easy recipe ideas. Try searching for a vegan group in your area to join and talk to likeminded people. 4. Treat yourself to vegan goodies Stepping into the world of veganism doesn’t mean you have to miss out on your usual treats. There are plenty of vegan biscuits, chocolate and crisps you probably didn’t realise are ‘accidentally vegan’, such as Oreos and Jammy Dodgers! Just remember to check the ingredients if you’re unsure. 5. Mistakes happen Adapting to a new lifestyle is hard so don’t worry if you slip up, Veganuary is all about trying. Move on from it and keep going – you’ve got this!
