Hello,

I have been vegan for quite a while and have tried to merge paleo into it once before. When I did try Pegan I thought I was going to die and dreamt of bean burritos. Eating healthy has been a learning experience for me and I am a bit more knowledgeable than I was 4 yrs ago. So I am hoping to give it another go.

I was wondering if any of you have any tips for someone who is hoping to merge into your Paleo lifestyle. Prehaps some vegan friendly recipes? Please and thank you. :3

    I don't see how vegan and Paleo would work! What is left to eat? If legumes work for you I would say, eat them.

    For vegan protein: hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, nuts, dark leafy greens.

    This guy has a "pegan" diet, but it's not entirely vegan. Good food for thought, regardless.

    You're very likely going to have to give somewhere. Paleo and Vegan are, in their pure forms, mutually exclusive.

    It might be worth looking at why you're vegan and see if where the compromises are that you are willing to make. Then, look at why you want to include Paleo and see where the compromises there are.

    For health purposes, the ultimate goal should be to ensure that your diet is nutritionally complete and gives you the energy to do what you enjoy.
