What I eat in A week as A Vegan (Vegan African Recipes + Comforting Winter Meals)

chickpeas

🥗Healthier: lentils

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Lentils are high in protein and cheaper than chickpeas.

nutritional yeast

🥗Healthier: brewer's yeast

💰Cheaper: parmesan cheese

Brewer's yeast offers similar flavor and is often less expensive.

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade vegetable stock

💰Cheaper: water with seasonings

Homemade stock is lower in sodium and more flavorful.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Wash the vegetables before using them.

Prep the vegetables: chop the celery, carrots, and brussels sprouts.

Heat a pot on the stove and add 5 cups of water.

Add dried rosemary to the pot and bring the water to a boil.

Add vegetable bouillon paste to the boiling water and stir until dissolved.

Break the vegan chicken into pieces and add it to the pot.

Add the prepared celery, carrots, and mushrooms to the pot.
