What is Veganuary?
Veganuary is an initiative that encourages people to adopt a (more) vegan lifestyle for the month of January. The initiative was founded in 2014 by a UK-based nonprofit organization also named Veganuary. Its primary aim is to inspire individuals to try veganism as a way to introduce more plant-based nutrients in their diet, while being more environment-friendly.
Why try Veganuary?
Maybe you follow an omnivore gluten free diet, but feel like you over indulged during the Holidays and want to balance it out. Trying gluten-free Veganuary recipes can be a great way to reduce animal products and incorporate more plant-based dishes in your everyday diet.
Many participants in fact continue incorporating vegan meals into their lifestyle even after the month ends.
With this roundup you will not only be able to avoid meat and fish, but also enjoy dairy free and eggless dishes, without compromising on the flavor!
Here at SweetSensitiveFree all is gluten free and mostly vegan, so after enjoying these easy and comforting Veganuary recipe ideas, have a look around the blog too 😉
