Vegan beer directory A-F. VeganYumYum | Yup, I'm back. Yoga - Gluten-Free-Vegan-Girl. I truly love yoga. It is what makes me feel calm and centered, yet energized.

I have not always been a yoga-lover though and I am aware of how it might seem like a very hard activity to get into, with the breathing, various poses and their odd Indian sanskrik names.

About the Vegan Diet A vegan diet is one that consists of only plant-derived foods. Vegans don’t use or consume any animals or animal products including flesh (land or sea animals), milk, eggs, or honey.

Eating vegan doesn't require breaking the bank or moving to a big city. The most nutritious and inexpensive vegan foods which can be found in any supermarket, are fresh produce, grains, legumes and nuts/seeds. These should make up the bulk of the diet for optimum health. Vegan processed foods in the form of soy hot dogs, vegan &"cheeses," desserts, etc are best eaten only on occasion. Isn’t vegan food boring? A popular myth is that vegans subsist only on soybeans and salad. Common vegan dishes include stir fry, pasta, rice and beans, chana masala, cucumber-avocado sushi, pad thai, quinoa, pizza, pancakes, french toast, waffles, veggie burgers, chili, soups, tacos, burritos, casseroles, stew, sandwiches, cookies, non-dairy ice-cream, cakes, pies, etc. Nutrition & Health Tips Special Foods Tofu.
