It’s day three of the What We Ate In A Day series in celebration of Veganuary!

Once you get comfortable with eating plant-based, you’ll notice that you will keep specific items in your kitchen at all times. It could take a few weeks to figure out what you like to eat, what your favorite brands are, what your go-to meals are, etc…

Here is a short list of things we often have in our kitchen, including some of our favorite snacks to buy at the store:

Items we always have in the kitchen:

• Nutritional Yeast
• Raw cashews
• Unsweetened plant milk (almond, rice, soy…)
• Beans, canned or dry – our favorites are kidney beans, cannellini beans, garbanzo beans, and black beans
• Rice (brown because it’s more nutritious) and pasta (obvi)
• Lentils, red and green/brown
• Coconut oil
• Coconut cream, stored in the refrigerator
• Vegan butter like Earth Balance
• Dairy-free creamer for coffee
• Lots of your favorite veggies!
