Interesting that you have milk in your huel! Bet that’s one thick shake.Haven’t decided to go vegan or veggie but a few changes have been on my mind recently. The first I am going to try is swapping skimmed milk for almond milk in my Huel morning and lunchtime shakes. Heading out in a bit to buy it, no idea what to expect taste wise?!?
Do you feel like you get enough protein? That’s something I still struggle with. I have the fake meats (impossible, beyond, quorn) which are good for a fix but too much of it and I feel a bit bloated.Don't try and live solely off the fake meat type things - you will maybe diewhole grains, beans, nuts etc are your friend. That's not to say you can't get some of the Richmond kev Keegan sausages, but try and vary it.

I never really got on with almond milk, it just tasted a bit weird to me and was a bit watery. Oat milk is really good (oatly) but I can’t get on with the low fat version…it just seems watered down so you have to use twice as much of it like in tea. I just go regular.

Interested to get other peoples thoughts too
I am pescatarian at the moment and have been for about 18 months so I have tuna/swordfish steaks and then I have some whey protein powder to try and boost protein intake, as well as Huel shakes which have a fair bit. But will one day go fully vegan but need to work out other protein sources
Grains and pulses combine to give complete protein : eg beans & rice, beans on toast.Yeah I think so, I exercise a lot though and I guess it's hard to tell? Like as in I wouldn't really know what that felt like I guess. I do think there's a lot of myth around the amount of protein we need and totally depends on the person / what you do.
There's tonnes of protein in various different beans, nuts etc and the amount is not much different to chicken, albeit slightly less. I think getting "complete proteins" is a little more difficult and depends upon the combinations of food you eat (I'm no expert on dietary science but perhaps someone on here knows a bit more?).
I do eat fake meats etc but try to limit the amount I do, generally feel okay after them. Whey protein used to make me feel bloated, I don't supplement protein anymore (used to get the vegan bulk powders ones, but found they just made me lose my appetite).
Yeah, it's decentAnybody tried the McPlant?
Missus had one the other night and I had a regular Big Mac.Anybody tried the McPlant?

If you have the space, get some 'rescue' chickens. Guilt(ish) free eggs every day.I just learnt something terrible.
7 billion make chicks are culled each year in the egg industry. They are literally thrown into a grinder or suffocated with co2.
humans are fucking trash how can we have letit get to this?
I’m not vegan yet I’m pescatarian but often I’m going more and more for plant based options. Prefer oat milk, love impossible/beyond meat stuff, don’t really miss chicken all that much as there’s quorn etc. Eggs there’s a product called “Just Egg” that is pretty good.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not like “against” eating meat I love it. I’m just against factory farming. It’s fucking horrific and cruel.
Deep deep down anyone with a heart knows this and when you try and talk to people about it (myself included for many many many years) the truth is we just don’t want to know the truth, because we think it’ll make us feel guilty or it’ll put us off. Well, good? If it’s that bad that it will do that, then we shouldn’t be doing it or eating it should we?
Back in the day when there were small small individual farms and animals were given plenty of space and roamed around freely and generally we needed animal products to live off/survive, then that’s one thing. But now it’s not that way at all, the conditions are horrific and we have viable substitutes.
I need to go completely vegan I think I just need to get the willpower.
Am I the only person who thinks all Greggs bakes taste the same?
Basically carbs and oil with some filling.
Don't get me wrong, I love a Greggs bake. But they all taste the same.
See also Subway.

I’ve been mostly having veggie/vegan sausages for a while but this week tried Richmonds meat free ones…honestly can’t tell the difference.
Lips and arseholes.Is there any meat in normal Richmond sausages?
Mars released a very good Galaxy vegan bar i think it was with caramlized sea salt bits in it. Is it exactly the same as a galaxy bar no obviously not, but definitely enough for a fix.Talking of vegan chocolate. Any recommendations.
That's the thing, if you're doing it for ethical reasons around animals, you really should be vegan.
Thats the thing, when you're replacing stuff thats processed beyond all recognition anyway, it's pretty easy.I’ve been mostly having veggie/vegan sausages for a while but this week tried Richmonds meat free ones…honestly can’t tell the difference.
What's hard and probably never going to happen is replacing things like steak, chicken breast etc. But im okay with that
Yeh it’s called in vitro meat I think but - not for me thanks I’m not sure it would take off. ShudderI'm fairly sure there's people looking into lab grown meat now?
Based on this, my missus bought a pack of Richmond ones yesterday and we tried them last night.I’ve been mostly having veggie/vegan sausages for a while but this week tried Richmonds meat free ones…honestly can’t tell the difference.
