  • Free-range is little more than a marketing scam, designed to make us feel good about the products that we buy. Because if we feel good about what we’re buying, we’ll buy it again and again.⁠ ⁠ Chickens that produce free-range eggs can be legally stocked 9 hens per square metre.⁠ ⁠ Did you know that when hens are stressed and frightened, they end up fighting and pecking each other, causing mutilation? Luckily, farmers have an ingenious solution to this – involving cutting off their beaks with no pain relief. This is also perfectly legal and standard industry practice, even for free-range hens.⁠ ⁠ The male chicks are either gassed or put through a grinder still alive, when they’re just a day old. Because they’re worthless (in a financial sense, anyway).⁠ ⁠ Most people don't know any of this. Could you swap out your eggs?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #vegan #vegans #vegetarian #vegetarians #ukvegetarian #ukveggie #veggieuk #vegetarianuk #healthyeating #coaching #veganaf #helpgoingvegan #newvegan #veganhelp #vegansupport #parttimevegan #vegancurious #almostvegan #goingvegan #veggie #animallover #veganegg #tofu #eggrecipes #veganshare #vegetarianlife #vegetarianlifestyle #flexitarian #petlover #animallover
  • Did you know that I have coaching slots available?⁠ ⁠ This is the bespoke side of Learner Vegan, for those who need a little extra help. I wish I'd had someone personally there for me when transitioning, to cut out all the google searches and going around in circles.⁠ That's why I decided to launch coaching. To provide 121 support on YOUR specific life, situations and issues.⁠ I've been through a healthy plant-based diet, eating gluten-free, vegan pregnancies, living with a meat-eater and a lot more that I can help with.⁠ Troubleshooting with someone is much more effective than spending hours on the internet, plus it's a lot of fun!⁠ ⁠ One-off sessions and block booking both up for grabs.⁠ ⁠ 👍Get rid of those hours researching veganism.⁠ 👍Receive personal and confidential guidance on YOUR issues.⁠ 👍Be motivated, encouraged and supported to go and stay vegan.⁠ 👍Gain confidence in your choices.⁠ ⁠ Who needs this?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #veganhealthcoach #vegancoach #vegancoaching #howtogovegan #veganmom #onlyvegan #goingvegan #goveganstayvegan #stayvegan #veganiseasy #vegantransition #veganeducation #veganknowledge #tryvegan #veganforbeginners #veganbeginner #vegansupport #veganhelp #parttimevegan #parttimevegetarian #vegetarianlife #vegetariansofig #vegetarianlifestyle #vegetarianuk #veganstruggles #newvegan #vegannewbie #almostvegan #veganuary #veganuary2020
  • Thank you for everyone that joined me LIVE! I was answering your questions and tackling common issues from new vegans, and those doing Veganuary. One question was around being judged - seems as though everybody has an opinion about veganism! So how do you handle being judged by friends and family? Give this clip from the LIVE a watch to find out.
  • Before supermarket shopping...⁠ ⁠ ⭐️ Do A Little Light Reading! ⭐️⁠ ⁠ Food shopping as a vegan can be really easy and no fuss, but to get to that happy place you need to remember something: knowledge equals power. ⁠ ⁠ Being familiar with key non-vegan ingredients that pop up frequently, can speed up your shop immensely. Lactose can sneak into creamy products, egg white pops up in some Quorn foods, for example. ⁠ ⁠ You also need to be familiar with what you CAN eat. Many supermarket chains have a special range of vegan food now so you can completely skip the label-checking for those – think Tesco with Wicked Kitchen. Check their websites, do some research and you’ll be ready to quickly spot that packaging in the aisles and snap up those goodies. ⁠ ⁠ If there’s a certain food you can’t live without, make sure you know which aisle it’s in and what it looks like before you visit – nobody likes returning to the same aisle 3 times. I love buying tahini to make sauces, but it took me a long time to find it hidden obscurely between the pickles.⁠ ⁠ Don’t expect to get everything right on your first shop either. If you go home with something you later realise isn’t vegan, don’t beat yourself up about it. Take it back, give it to a friend or donate it to a food bank. You’ll remember for next time!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #newvegan #learnervegan #veganbeginner #vegancommunity #vegetarians #veggielife #veggielove #veganhelp #vegansupport #dairyfree #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #meatfree #meatless #veganbuys #veganmealplan #veganshopping #vegansupermarket #animallover #veganwannabe #vegannewbie #goingvegan #beingvegan #almostvegan #veganuk #ukvegans #ukvegan #vegansofig #veganuary2020 #veganuaryeats
  • I have to admit, I'm not much of a baker. I'd much rather make savoury meals.⁠ Luckily, I have an amazing mum who is! She makes and sends me recipes for cakes and bakes, that are easy enough even for me to have a go at.⁠ ⁠ A basic vanilla sponge cake pleases everyone. It's the perfect starting point for a birthday cake, or with added icing, whipped cream or sprinkles.⁠ ⁠ Ingredients:⁠ 210 g plain flour⁠ 250 ml soy milk⁠ 200 g sugar (white or coconut)⁠ 80 ml oil (olive or vegetable)⁠ 0.5 tsp bicarbonate of soda⁠ 0.5 tsp table salt⁠ 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar⁠ 3 tsp vanilla extract⁠ ⁠ Instructions:⁠ ⭐️Warm the oven to 180oC.⁠ ⭐️Add the flour, sugar, salt and bicarbonate of soda to a bowl (don't forget to sift your flour!) and mix.⁠ ⭐️Add the remaining ingredients, and whisk thoroughly.⁠ ⭐️Add the mixture to a greased cake tin (7in diameter works well).⁠ ⭐️Bake for 25-30 mins.⁠ ⭐️Eat alone or add vegan single cream, vanilla frosting or buttercream if preferred.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #veganliving #vegans #veganrecipe #veganrecipes #ukvegetarian #ukveggie #veggieuk #vegetarianuk #healthyeating #coaching #vegancoaching #helpgoingvegan #newvegan #veganhelp #vegansupport #parttimevegan #vegancurious #almostvegan #goingvegan #veggie #animallover #veganshare #vegetarianlife #vegetarianlifestyle #flexitarian #petlover #animallover #veganuaryeats #veganuary2020 #veganuary
