Being a vegan can sometimes be challenging. April Sampé, founder of the web series Veg Out & Dine shares the three items every vegan should have in their kitchen to help make it easier!
1. Nutritional Yeast
Nutritional yeast is a popular ingredient for vegan cooking. It is a favorite substitute for cheese and is good to keep at hand for adding a savory flavor boost whenever needed.
2. Plant based milk
Cashew milk, almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk and other plant based milks are a staple in the vegan fridge. Cashew milk is thicker than other plant based milk products, which is why it is a preferred vegan ingredient to cook with. It also has a whole milk flavor due to the thickness.
3. Mushrooms
Mushrooms are important to have in your vegan kitchen because they are a heathy substitute for real meat products and can be seasoned to have a meat flavor. They are also affordable addition to any meal.
