Any vegans?

I'm transitioning into becoming a vegan. What are some tips or vegan foods that you enjoy that are similar to meat? Also looking for vegan snack ideas. And recipes are welcome. Feel free to add me as a friend as well.

Some decent options are beyond burgers, beyond chicken strips, and field roast sausages.

I look to Pinterest for recipes and I love the forks over knives recipes
Snack on nuts, seeds and fruit.
The brand Amy's has some pretty good soy free veggie pattys
But, again you can also look at Pinterest and Forks over knives to make your own "meat" substitutes like veggie pattys, "meat"balls, and "meat"loaf, etc.
you can smash chickpeas and mix with avocado to sub for egg salad sandwiches.
There are so many options. We just have to be creative

There's a group called Happy Herbivores that is for vegetarians and vegans. If you use the search function you'll find it They have recipes etc

I have been adding vegan recipes to my household menu. My best find was an altered recipe for seitan using vital wheat gluten with veggie and chikn vegan bouillon, Taco Bell Diablo sauce, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast to make tiny chicken pieces.

I also heard of True Nutrition's Vegan Optimizer protein powder but havent tried it yet.

And I've found the easiest way to pick new vegan foods is to make a list of accidently vegan foods you like from the lists people post online, then search them in your grocery store's app to see if they carry it. You can then fill in recipes off that list.

Oh and one last thing: brown dried lentils are a super cheap high protein source. 980 cals per pound dried, 114g protein. Don't get the other kinds if you're avoiding a large price mark up.
