Anyone else doing veganuary?

I'm a guilty meat eater but for the past few years have done vegetarianuary. This year I want to try veganuary, at least at home (we go to pil for dinner once a week and don't want to add pressure!). Is anyone else giving it a go? Want to share any ideas? I could also do with losing a stone but though calorie counting and veganuary might be a bit much. I'm also doing dry January so that'll help hopefully!

My usual go to food is hearty food like stews, toad in the hole, cottage pie etc...

I can make a mean Passata for pasta, and I'm thinking chunky vegetable soups, tofu stir frys etc but would welcome any ideas! Also will look into some smoothies and juices with coconut milk or overnight oats for breakfast (when I actually eat it) I drink a lot of coffee but already prefer with oat milk.

I'm not planning on continuing past January, I enjoy meat and dairy too much but am willing to commit for a month at least and maybe discover some tasty dishes to integrate into my repertoire!

Hope you are feeling better @Ozzyskye.

I have been eating well this week, but pretty much just the best meals I had last week repeated, so I could have been more adventurous. Tonight we are having stir fried tofu, broccoli, red pepper, red onion and peanuts with whatever sauce DH has come up. I have been very good at taking in leftovers for lunch all week, but tomorrow I think I might have a Subway as I quite like their vegan options.

In general, it just feels pretty normal to eat a vegan diet at the moment and I am not having to put much thought into it, which is great. A lot easier than I expected. I am going out for a meal at the weekend, so that feels like a bit of a test.

Anyone got any good chocolate recommendations?

Glad to hear it’s going so well!

For chocolate I like:

Love Raw kinder bueno style bars (Asda, co-op, Holland and Barrett)
Nomo bars, they do caramel filled, fruit and crunch and plain (most supermarkets)
Vegan Lindt
Jeavons is amazing but only online
”Buttermilk” brand bars (despite the name it’s plant based) in sainsburys and maybe others
