Places to try Vegan food in Malta
Veganuary is done and dusted – but is it really? Veganuary is a charity-led campaign that supports vegans and people who want to try vegan food with a sort-of 31-day challenge usually occurring in January.
There are many reasons for one adopting a vegan diet, or lifestyle. It may be due to health reasons, care for the environment, animal rights issues – but this is not limited to only those who have strong belief in these areas.
Vegan food has been named “boring,” “tasteless” by many who have not attempted to get into vegan food fully. If you think vegans only eat lettuce, you’re mistaken! The rise of plant-based food has developed an astounding creative cuisine that is often full of flavour, texture and packed with nutrition.
When transitioning or switching to a vegan diet consider a well-planned diet and consult with a dietician as suggested by dietician Cynthia Sass in her 4 recommended steps to consider when turning vegan.
Martina from Food Therapy for a Conscious Living also gave us 5 tips to transition to a vegan diet earlier this month to help you ease into the new diet and lifestyle.
