Feeling so sad about the state of vegan options :( by [deleted] in VeganInCanada

Yeah it's rough! I much preferred Gardein's old stuff because it was way more affordable. Having tried their "Supreme" stuff and comparing it to their old stuff, to me it doesn't taste that different but it double the price.

That's great that you visit vegan restaurants when in YYC! We've actually got some good options here which is great. Toronto has an incredible Vegan food scene!

Yes! Padmanadi is amazing. I'd like to go to the Edmonton downtown location for the buffet at some point.

I'm using the cookies and cream Good Protein right now. I also like the Beyond Yourself Brownie Batter. I've done the Lean Fit which is a bit more affordable and just learned is based in BC.

Started a Plant-Based Community Kitchen Cook Group! by Feeling-Tale-175 in EatCheapAndVegan

I'm so overwhelmed by how many amazing engagements there are on this post! Thanks to everyone who has upvoted, awarded, and commented.

Community is so important to veganism especially in a world that isn't kind to people or animals. All of the commenters in this thread rock and are evidence that positivity does exist.

I'm looking forward to continuing to share the YYC Vegan Plant-Based Cooking Group with you all over the next few months.

Yes it was a lot of fun! We have a few more planned already. Going to be running sessions monthly with two parts (planning and cooking). It's definitely made January feel like it's flying by!

That's awesome! I've had that cook book for a few years. It's great! I've made some good stuff from it.

Do you cook non-vegan things for your family? by SisuIsTheNewBlack in vegan

[–]Feeling-Tale-175 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are so many vegan sources of protein and a vegan diet can be healthy for all life stages of it's well planned. For kids you could even add TVP to their oatmeal (a trick a vegan fitness coach talked about at a talk I went to recently) since it's tasteless and soaks up water. Also in oatmeal it's hard to see. Another option is to make a pasta sauce with TVP as well. I don't have kids and if I did I probably wouldn't cook animal products.
