FAQ for Vegans

Plants, plants, and more plants! When you eat vegan, you exclude all animal products from your plate. Yes, that includes butter and cheese! Plants are extremely versatile and we’re positive you can make anything you can imagine with plants. So head on over to our recipe page for easy to make, flavorful vegan meals. 

As you can guess since plant-based foods are super duper fibrous/ easier to digest they lead to a variety of digestive health benefits and reduce the risk of constipation, bloating, and IBS.

Of course! By eating vegan you can help reduce the environmental impact of animal agriculture and food production which is a massive contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution.

All the vegans in the world can’t make a change overnight, but we can all do our part one meal at a time to help the world. If you’re viewing on mobile checkout the Cowculator App (IOS / Android) see an estimate of exactly how eating a little more plants can make a big difference.

The simple answer is: all plants have protein. If you want to go deeper, check out our blog post dedicated exclusively to this topic. 
For a brief overview: Plants source nitrate from the ground and turn that into amino acids, which is what protein is made of. Your body needs 20 different amino acids to function correctly, and through a combination of veggies, beans, nuts, and grains, you can get all of them. It’s easy to get the same amount of protein without using animal products.

Of course! As long as it doesn’t include milk, eggs, or other dairy products. Most breads you find at the grocery store are vegan, just be sure to check the ingredients. Biscuits, brioche, and potato rolls/buns are the sneaky ones, but of course there’s alternatives for each.

Yep! Like anyone else, processed foods can be vegan, but that doesn’t mean they’re “healthy.” Most processed foods aren’t. Pizza, chikn’ nuggs, and burgers are un/fortunately staples in our house. Eating vegan doesn’t necessarily mean eating healthily 😉 Cake, for example, can be made without dairy products. There are loads of vegan substitutes for eggs and milk (like applesauce, flax seeds, bananas, and nut milks). We’re not the biggest bakers, but when we do make sweet treats, they always taste great!
