There are many myths surrounding plant-based cuisine. One of them is that vegetarians and vegans don't provide their bodies with all the nutrients they need with restrictive diets . Conservative meat eaters also believe that plant-based cuisine is lacking in variety, tasteless, and expensive. On the other hand, dishes prepared with vegetables are sometimes perceived as demanding and time-consuming. Not surprisingly, however, all of the above theories are false. However, when switching to a plant-based diet, we must follow a few rules.

Developing a varied diet

Plant-based cuisine contains all the necessary nutrients if we pay attention to the right balance and variety of meals. It's worth remembering legumes, which are the main source of protein for vegans and vegetarians. Let's also include nuts and seeds in our diet, pay attention to the use of colorful vegetables, and reach for a variety of cereals and rice .

It's a good idea to plan your menu in advance. This simple process not only allows us to focus on introducing a variety of foods, but also saves considerable time and money. It's also worth checking your pantry every few months to see if the vegetables we're using are a source of all the nutrients we need and whether we should add anything new to our diet.

Delivery

When transitioning to a plant-based diet, it's worth stocking up on products we'll reach for often. As mentioned above, every herbivore's pantry should include a supply of dried or canned legumes, seeds, and grains, as well as cereals and rice. It's also worth keeping oils on hand, both those intended for thermal processing and those intended for cold serving in salads.

Yeast flakes , smoked paprika, black salt, and coconut milk are also often included in popular plant-based recipes—so it's good to have them in your pantry. It's also worth having a set of dried herbs and other spices that you'll reach for often.

Experiment

There are currently many books on plant-based cooking on the publishing market. You'll also find many tips on our blog. When deciding to become a vegetarian or vegan, it's worth looking for inspiring recipes, trying new ingredients, and not closing yourself off to new things.

It's also worth seeing how popular vegan and vegetarian chefs are cooking.

If you follow the tips above, you'll quickly find that switching to a plant-based diet isn't complicated or inconvenient. A little willpower can therefore combine our choices with healthy and delicious food. Whether this happens depends entirely on us!
