Conveniences that are accidentally plant-based, and other tricks:

• Most canned biscuits and most packaged breads

• Peanut butter

• Fritos (and most chips)

• Oreos (and many other cookies)

• Marinara sauce

• Guacamole

• Nutritional yeast (found in the baking aisle) adds a cheesy flavor to other foods.

• Capers add the type of bite in a salad that a sharp cheese does.

• Egg substitutes for baking or sauces: 1 tbsp flax meal or corn starch in 3 tbsp water. 

• Plant-based mayo, soups, butter, egg, cheese, dairy and meat alternatives can be found in most supermarkets.

If you want to become completely plant-based (or even part-time)
