5 Vegan diet tips for a healthier New Year

1. Try new vegan recipes

Get out of your daily diet rut by committing to at least one new vegan meal a day. This will not only improve your nutrient intake (relying on the same dozen recipes every week can lead to deficiencies), it will also reinspire your love for eating vegan.

2. Eat more salads

Sure, a vegan diet is predominantly plant-based, if you’re looking to lose weight or need a boost in your antioxidant intake, salads are the way to go. Just be sure to go light on dressings so you don’t turn a healthy vegan salad into a vegan diet disaster.
