‘Veganize’ Your Fridge This Summer

  • ‘Veganize’ Your Fridge This Summer
In the steadily growing market for veg-friendly products, healthier options for kitchen basics are making it easier than ever to ‘veganize’ the fridge. 
 
“Vegetarian alternatives for milk, cheese and eggs are examples of essentials that are readily available to provide healthier options whenever the refrigerator door opens,” says Alyssa de Hoop, Special Events Coordinator for Veg Food Fest.
 
Here are some great tips to veganizing the fridge this summer— when brunch on the deck and a BBQ at the cottage are very popular activities.
 
1. Swap your dairy milk for Almond, Coconut or Soy Milk. With top brands such as So Delicious and Natura, you’ll get to enjoy this yummy essential without having to sacrifice flavour.
2. Invite family and friends for Sunday brunch and whip up the usual omelettes and frittatas, surprisingly made from tofu.  Three tbsp of water mixed with 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed is another great option for those delicious baking recipes that require eggs, but instead can be made using these ingredients or replacements.
 
Aside from the fridge, the barbecue is often the second-most important appliance in the summer, and luckily, there are an increasing number of vegan alternatives to the traditional steak and ribs.
 
4. Grills work great for all sorts of veggie recipes, both packaged and home-made.  Get your grill master on with Field Roast sausages from Whole Foods or beet burgers from Yamchops.
5. Chickpea or black bean burgers, grilled mushroom and pepper skewers, marguerite pizzas and even some traditional fare like corn on the cob are some of the endless possibilities for tasty, healthy outdoor cooking.
 
Removing meat or dairy from your diet is not as difficult as people think; in fact, it’s actually pretty delicious.
