Vegan pantry staples that will make going vegan simple this Veganuary

So here you are. You’re finally biting the bullet and starting this wonderful new decade by going vegan. We know starting out is never easy, we’ve been there.

But trust us it’s worth it and you’ll feel much better both in body and mind! So that you don’t feel like you’re missing out here are some fridge and pantry staples we would recommend to stock up with this Veganuary.

Bread

Just because you’ve gone vegan now doesn’t mean you have to give up bread! Many breads, like sourdough, are vegan, because it’s based on the combination of flour, water and yeast. It just depends on whether the loaf has been butter brushed on sweetened.

So, in your local bakery you might find they have several vegan loaves, or take a look at TheVeganKind Supermarket where you can find a wide selection of different bread times including burger buns, naans, etc.
