What vegan products should I use instead of egg, dairy and other animal ingredients?
Use the following conversion list to substitute ingredients with vegan animal-free products.
*Read ingredients*
*Tip* Add Flaxseed (finely ground) to salads, soups, pastas, even ice cream (soy or rice based, of course). My favorite dessert is Purely Decadent Vanilla Ice Cream with a teaspoon of Flaxseed and a teaspoon of salted sunflower seeds. Yum! Flaxseed is rich in Omega-3, 6 and 9 Fatty Acids and is a great source of Fiber.
Substitute for healthy dessert recipes, convert healthy vegetarian recipes, vegetarian kids and vegetarian meats to vegan choices.

*Always read ingredients to make sure you are buying vegan (meatless, dairy free/egg free) products. Beware of animal bone char and animal derivatives. Also, some brands make both a vegan version and non-vegan, which could contain dairy, so read ingredients. There are new products coming our regularly, so once you shop in your vegan sections, look around for new ingredients that are vegan.
