You heard that right; beer is vegan! So, if you’re wondering what other guilty-pleasure beverages and foods you can still indulge in on a vegan diet, then we’ve got you covered!
What Is a Vegan Diet?
A vegan diet focuses on consuming fruits and vegetables, or plant-based alternatives. Unlike vegetarians, vegans completely avoid meat-based products, including eggs, milk, cheese, mayonnaise, and even seafood. By maintaining a vegan diet, one can reduce the risk of diabetes, high-blood pressure, and many other diseases related to over consumption of meat.

If you love adding a burst of flavor to your dishes, you might be surprised to find that some steak seasonings are vegan. These seasonings can enhance the taste of vegetables, tofu, or other plant-based proteins, providing a savory kick without any animal products. But, do check the ingredients before purchasing since not all seasonings are made equal.

Whether you enjoy them fresh or fried, traditional spring rolls can be a great vegan option. Filled with a variety of vegetables and wrapped in a thin pastry, they offer a crunchy, savory snack or appetizer that is naturally free from animal ingredients.
Popcorn
