about

I decided to go vegan last summer after I discovered the hugely positive impact that it can have on my health, the environment, and all living creatures. I’m also finding it to be great way of keeping my meals fast, low-budget, and with minimal cooking time without wasting anything in the fridge…it’s been perfect for my busy university life. It seems like everyday now, I’m getting to experience amazing new vegan dishes, and so I’ll do my best to record them here daily!

Some themes in my meals that I try to stick to are: keeping things as nutritious as possible (this includes keeping things as close to raw as I happily can), making meals that require a very short preparation time (15 mins is often my max), and creating simple recipes that use up what I have at home without needing to go out and buy ingredients.

  14. Well done Elle for becoming Vegan. As long as you stick to a mainly Whole-Food, Plant Based diet your long term health is almost certainly assured. Very few people have such a long term view of life. I started eating healthily 40 years ago knowing that one day I would reach an age, baring accidents that is, when I would appreciate a lack of chronic health conditions. Just remember that there is no sacrifice involved in eating this way as delicious food can be prepared without having to resort to eating meat. Keep up the good work. Your body and the world will be forever greatful.

    • Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment. 40 years! That’s amazing and very inspirational! I’m only entering my second year as a vegan, and definitely sticking to the whole foods plant based diet as much as possible. The health benefits have already been tremendous and very noticeable. I’m just so glad that I was introduced to this while I was still young and before I did any long-term damage with my old eating habits.
