I would like to transition to eating vegan and have tried to find substitutes for some of the things I’d miss the most. (Mostly cheese and maybe honey) But both buying and making these substitutes appears to be rather pricey. I figure there must be a way to go vegan without spending everything I have, so does that mean I just have to forgo the substitutes and completely change my diet? That’ll be tough, but I want to try. Any advice for getting away from animal products?
You’ll stop craving carnist ‘food’ over time, I promise! I think the best bet is to find recipes you like that are not trying to replicate something but are delicious as their own thing.
Plant milks are the only thing I buy regularly, but I’m not sure I would really consider that a substitute. People make their own for very cheap but I don’t use enough that it feels worth it to me. I go through a small container a week for two people, just to splash in our coffee.
