The Convenient Vegan
A Convenient Vegan craves the comfort foods they’ve grown up eating and are looking for easy, convenient, appetite-pleasing meals.
If that’s you, then, friend, you’re deeply grounded — once you spread your roots, you want to stay put and grow. You value consistency and persistent progress.
Your Why
You may have other reasons for being vegan than most. For example, maybe you were bit by a tick that left you allergic to animal products (it’s seriously a thing referred to as Alpha Gal Syndrome), or maybe there’s another aversion to eating omnivore, such as a dairy allergy.
Maybe you just don’t enjoy the taste or texture of meat anymore. These are all ok!
Convenient Vegan Wants
The reason may not be set in stone, but one thing the Convenient Vegan knows for sure is they like their creature comforts. You won’t be giving up your Mac and Cheese, Pizza, Chocolate Cake, French Fries, and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches any time soon. I don’t blame you!
Convenience craves accessibility. You don’t want to drive all around town looking for exotic ingredients. You need to be able to find what you’re looking for in the health food section of your local grocery store, or maybe at Target or Walmart. Otherwise, forget about it.
Some turn their nose up at processed vegan foods. A Convenient Vegan is not one of them. If you can have your Steak Soup (made with beefless tips), then bring it on!
