It’s no snaccident that these foods are vegan.
It’s automatically assumed that adopting a vegan diet is quite difficult. And though this can be true in some cases, there are, believe it or not, plenty of options to ensure it’s really not. When you just can’t make it to lunch or dinner without grabbing something quick and easy to munch on especially, following a vegan, vegetarian, or plant-based diet can seem like a daunting task.
