Veganuary: recipes and tips for your vegan month

As is now tradition, January becomes Veganuary ! The first month of the new year becomes the perfect opportunity to discover plant-based recipes and get closer to a “greener” way of bringing flavor to the table.

But how did Veganism Month come about? And how can we make the most of it to learn all about plant-based nutrition?

What is Veganuary and how to find out more

Veganuary is a new trend but already very much felt and consolidated in the vegan and vegetarian community all over the world. Suffice it to say that the 2021 edition brought well half a million people actively trying plant-based eating .

The idea is linked to good intentions for the new year, which is why January was chosen. In this period, in fact, we are more predisposed to change, to try new lifestyles and good habits, which are healthy for the body, mind and the planet. It all starts with shopping in the right way, choosing lots of seasonal fruit and vegetables, good flours and oils, and perhaps integrating with our own superfood favorites.

By registering on the platform , you will receive emails with recipes, ebooks and advice to gradually get used to a vegan diet or plant-based , also depending on your starting point (if you are omnivorous, pescetarians , vegetarians or other).

The reasons are also important: according to the 2021 survey, 22% of users would have chosen to try the month of Vaganuary for health reasons, 46% for love of animals, 21% to help the Planet and 11% for other personal reasons, such as food intolerances and the like.

Recipes and tips to start a vegan lifestyle

Of course, for those who love meat and dairy products it is not easy to become 100% veg from one day to the next. That is why it is a journey, one step at a time, guided for 31 days, which can then be continued on your own autonomously thanks to the knowledge and recipes acquired.

Because often, in truth, you don't even try for just one very simple reason: you don't know what to bring to the table!

First of all, it is not true that being vegan means eating only salad, a few tasteless and unappealing foods, on the contrary.

Many of the foods that are the basis of our diet are already vegan, in themselves: don't you believe it? Our beloved pasta with tomato sauce and pizza marinara!

And it really takes very little to make many dishes and desserts vegan: risotto, if creamed with olive oil instead of butter, cakes, by replacing the butter with coconut oil , savory pies, by using chickpea flour to create the creamy filling instead of the egg... these are just a few very easy substitutions, which open up new scenarios, new flavors, colors and combinations!

We at NaturaleBio also have a 100% veg recipe book coming soon… keep following us!
