There's a lot of mixed messages on the internet when it comes to veganism. So this month, we're looking into a few myths and rumours about the vegan diet in hopes that it'll to clear up some of the confusion.
If you're considering going vegan, make sure to give this a read!
Before we get into the post, I’d like to mention that it’s Mental Health Awareness week, and if you'd like to treat yourself, we're offering 20% off on the Pamper Hamper in our Shop between the 13-19th May.
Now, let’s bust some myths about veganism!
This is one of the myths about veganism that can be harmful. Though a lot of people claim that there is no need for supplements on a vegan diet, studies ( 1, 2 ) have shown that vegans and vegetarians have a higher risk of getting B12 deficiency. To avoid that, we recommend vegans to take B12 supplements.
It’s important to pay attention to nutrition no matter your diet. So make sure that you receive all the nutrients you need, whether that’s from food or supplements.
The staples of a healthy vegan diet are not expensive at all. Things such as rice, legumes, vegetables, and fruits are easy to find at your local food store and are rarely expensive. This, of course, depends on where you are based, but in most cases, staples aren't that pricy.
What can cause a vegan diet to be more expensive is processed, and prepackaged vegan food. So as long as that is kept at a minimum, you should be able to eat a healthy vegan diet without spending too much money on food.
Veganism is about avoiding animal suffering. This includes diet but extends to other parts of life such as avoiding products that have been tested on animals.
According to vrg, It’s not that hard to get protein on a vegan diet. There are plenty of plant-based foods filled with protein for vegans to consume. Things such as tofu, lentils, and chickpeas are all good sources of plant-based proteins that taste delicious!
Good luck on your vegan journey!

In the hustle and bustle of the corporate world, it's essential to foster a culture of appreciation and camaraderie among colleagues. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through the exchange of corporate gifts. However, finding the perfect gift that embodies thoughtfulness, practicality, and health consciousness can be a daunting task. That's where we come in!
This month it’s National Vegetarian Week 14-20th May, so I thought it would be good to share some tips on ways to change your lifestyle, whether that be reducing your meat consumption or fully committing to a change of diet. I think for most of us choosing a vegetarian diet and lifestyle is because of a strong belief that is the right thing to do. Changing your lifestyle to accommodate someone else's views will be harder to achieve without your reason why! For me reading and understanding is the first port of call and there are some great resources out there that will support your decision, try The Vegetarian Society .
