"Accidentally Vegan" Foods

Author: Animal Protection of New Mexico February 20, 2021 Duration: 33:25

In this episode of Teach Me How To Vegan we discuss a wide variety of foods that are naturally, or "accidentally" vegan. From veggies and hummus to Cracker Jacks and Oreo cookies, there are so many foods that can still be included on a vegan diet, depending on your specific goals and lifestyle. We present a plethora of ideas to consider as you plan and adjust your diet. Even for many people who focus on a healthy lifestyle, it can be helpful to have a list of foods to fall back on in a pinch.
