Order Vegan Food Online And Eat Without Guilt

By Marissa Velazquez


If you lead a busy lifestyle, you'll know how important it is to be able to make food with no fuss. However, if you're vegan you probably also know how difficult it can be to fix quick, easy meals that are tasty and cruelty free. As veganism is becoming more popular, the range of products that can make your life easier and your menu more creative is becoming wider too. Even more convenient is that you can simply order vegan food online and have it delivered to your door.

A vegan is somebody who doesn't eat animal products. Where vegetarians won't eat meat or fish but will often eat dairy products and eggs, vegans won't eat anything that comes from an animal. This includes dairy, eggs and honey. The reason for this decision can be religious but veganism is growing as people are becoming more aware of the cruel practices involved in farming with animals.

Giving up meat isn't always easy. Many vegans will tell you that they really miss the texture and taste of a steak or a chicken breast but simply can't bear the thought of eating something that was once part of a sentient being. In the past, meat alternatives were limited to soy mince but these days there is a wide range of meat substitutes that look and taste like the real thing, from hot dogs to 'chicken' nuggets.

Many vegetarians find it hard to give up dairy and become full vegans. Cutting out cheese, for example, would mean cutting out delicious foods like pizza. Things have become easier though with the increased availability of cheese made from soy, for instance. Soy can be problematic for some people since it wreaks havoc with estrogen levels in the body and many people are allergic to it. However, milk and yogurt made of almonds, coconut, rice and even oats are available now.

If you love baking, being a vegan can be a bit of a challenge. Many recipes call for the use of eggs, for instance. You can now get cake mixes that don't require the addition of eggs and there are even starch-based egg replacements on the market. Instead of gelatin, you can use cornstarch, agar or carrageen to make those wobbly jellies that remind you of childhood.

Few vegans have the time to stare at their navels and make dishes that require hours in the kitchen. Suppliers of vegan foods now boast ranges of convenience foods that you simply need to heat for a few minutes. Whether you want a simple soup or bowl of noodles or whether you want a full gourmet meal, you'll find a heat-and-eat version for vegans.

Turning vegan doesn't mean that you have to give up your favorite treats either. Chocolate without dairy and marshmallows without gelatin are just some of the sweets you will find. There are so many brands of cookies for vegans that you'll never feel deprived of the good things in life. Some varieties are even free of sugar and gluten.

The best way to order vegan food online is to go to a site that specializes in supplying to vegans. They will have a bigger variety than other stores and will also have a better understanding of your requirements. Many of these sites also sell other products suitable for vegans, from cosmetics to clothing and shoes, so visiting them is like going to a cruelty-free department store.
