  • Check out the 4-minute video for some quick tips on making it work for you! 😁 What questions do you have around eating out as a vegan? 👍
  • I love connecting with people and getting results for them. It's such a good feeling to watch new vegans hit their goals!⁠ ✊✊⁠ I'm a huge advocate for coaching. When I decided to eat more healthily, I hired a plant-based coach and embarked on a group program. It changed my mindset, habits, and explained everything in such a simple way. I fully committed to it and HIT my own goals - 28lb weight loss, improved mental health, less tiredness... the list goes on!⁠ 😁😁⁠ That's why now I offer my own form of coaching, for those new to veganism. Together, we figure out solutions and transformation just for YOU. It's all about getting you on the road to veganism!⁠ ⁠ Is 121 coaching right for you?⁠ YES, if:⁠ ⭐️You want to save time wading through the internet.⁠ ⭐️You want to talk to a real person confidentially.⁠ ⭐️You have issues specific to your life regarding going vegan .ie. pregnancy, children, cravings.⁠ ⭐️You'd love to save on stress by problem-solving any struggles you're facing quickly.⁠ ⭐️You need regular motivation to keep you on track to hit your goals.⁠ ⁠ Is this you?⁠ If you want this, let me know! Drop me a DM or find out how it works over in my BIO.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #vegan #vegans #vegetarian #vegetarians #ukvegetarian #ukveggie #veggieuk #vegetarianuk #healthyeating #coaching #vegancoaching #helpgoingvegan #newvegan #veganhelp #vegansupport #parttimevegan #vegancurious #almostvegan #goingvegan #veggie #animallover #veganpregnancy #pregnantvegan #pregnancy #veganshare #vegetarianlife #vegetarianlifestyle #flexitarian #petlover #animallover
  • ⭐️ Keeping Organised as a New Vegan ⭐️⁠ ⁠ As a meat-eater, it was probably easy to get by without thinking about meals in advance. You could grab a snack from wherever, or grab takeout on the way home. But thinking in advance helps us all out. It means we eat more healthy, save money on random snacks and meals, and can do some time-saving meal prep in advance!⁠ ⁠ ⭐️ Consider where you will be for the next few days at mealtimes, and plan accordingly. Factor drinks and snacks in too – I always have an extra something stashed in my bag, just in case I’m out later than usual! ⁠ ⁠ ⭐️ If you’re somewhere new, looking up restaurants online beforehand can help. Check out Tripadvisor – just enter ‘vegan-friendly (TOWN)’ in their search bar, and you should easily find where the plant-based people are going. Then you can narrow the options right down to your path of driving or walking. HappyCow Vegan Guide is also a great website that pinpoints vegan options near to you. It’s available as an app and will show you vegan stores and cafes too.⁠ ⁠ ⭐️ If you’re just looking to grab and go, see where popular chains are such as Pret A Manger and M&S Food. Most towns, airports and service stations have at least one vegan-friendly chain. In fact, in 2018, the UK launched more vegan products than any other nation. So you can get familiar favourites wherever you are! ⁠ ⁠ ⭐️ You can also personally ask for recommendations on Facebook groups. Local vegans are always happy to point you in the right direction, so that you don’t go hungry. If you’re too impatient to wait for responses, try the search function to see if anybody has asked a similar question in the group recently.⁠ ⁠ What do you do to stay organised when you're out and about?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #vegan #vegans #vegetarian #vegetarians #ukvegetarian #ukveggie #veggieuk #vegetarianuk #healthyeating #vegancoach #vegancoaching #helpgoingvegan #newvegan #veganhelp #vegansupport #parttimevegan #vegancurious #almostvegan #goingvegan #veggie #animallover #veganpregnancy #pregnantvegan #pregnancy #veganshare #vegetarianlife #vegetarianlifestyle #flexitarian #petlover #animallover
  • Want to show people how delicious vegan food is?⁠ 👍👍⁠ I remember going vegan and thinking I'd never be able to have cake or baked goods, because they had to have eggs in.⁠ Wrong again! Since then, I've discovered vegan meringues, brownies and all kinds of other goodies.⁠ 🍰🍰⁠ I like to make these cookies! They're actually one of the first vegan desserts I made, which of course means they're very easy to do.⁠ 😉😉⁠ They are perfect for school bakes, having guests over, or special occasions. ⁠ 🍪🍪⁠ TOP TIP: Leave them in for a few extra minutes if you prefer them crunchy on the outside.⁠ ⁠ Ingredients:⁠ 120 g vegan butter⁠ 100 g white sugar⁠ 100 g brown sugar⁠ 120 g plain flour⁠ 1 tsp vanilla extract⁠ 50 g cocoa powder⁠ 1 tsp baking soda⁠ 1 tbsp non-dairy milk⁠ 1 Pinch salt⁠ 100 g vegan chocolate chunks or chips⁠ ⁠ Instructions:⁠ 1. Preheat oven to 180C.⁠ 2. Add the butter, both sugars and vanilla to a bowl and mix thoroughly.⁠ 3. Sift the flour and cocoa powder into a bowl, then add baking soda and salt. Mix together.⁠ 4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and mix thoroughly.⁠ 5. Add the chocolate and milk. Mix the dough – it should be sticky and thick.⁠ 6. Roll the dough into small individual balls and put on a greased baking tray.⁠ 7. Bake for 10 minutes until still soft in the middle. Take out of the oven and leave to firm up for 10 minutes.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁣#whatvegansbake #vegansuk #veganbowl #veganhomemade #VeganInstagram #easytobevegan #eatingforhealth #veganuk #veganfooddiary #dairyfreerecipes #colorfulfoods #veganstudent #nourishbowl #veganeating #buddhabowl #nomeatnoproblem #veganideas #goingvegan #vegansoulfood #londonvegan #veganofinstagram #veganinspo #plantprotein #letscookvegan #veganism #nourishtoflourish #parttimevegan #vegancookies #veganbakes #vegancommunity
