    Can be lots of things. I have a family member with a dairy allergy so we’ve experimented with quite a few. We’ve had ice creams based on soy, rice protein, cashews, coconut, and probably some I’m forgetting. Some are quite yummy.

    You can make an avocado based ice cream as well

    This one, cheap from Lidl and didn't taste all that good is made from coconut oil.





    My mom bought some from the brand Oatly, which is made out of oats

    I just checked - the Ben and Jerry's vegan version is healthier than the non, but the non-dairy kind is fat and carbs through the roof!

    Is anyone really concerned about that, given that you're eating ice cream? ;)

    Well, I have been known to say “fuck it!” a time or three.

    Since my daughter and I both hate coconut, the oat version seems to be a far better option. Thank you for the review.

    I liked this one. Made with soy.

    For protein I would probably add broccoli, sweetcorn or lentils to a jacket potato and sweet potato is nice too, to mix it up a bit. Some people like beans. I'd probably add aioli (garlic mayo), cheddar cheese or cottage cheese as it can be a bit dry.... that's one type of meal, it really depends on what good you like! Quinoa is a grain which makes a good protein alternative and add some homemade ratatouille or roasted vegetables. Budda bowls are quite popular and they contain chick peas, sweet potato, salad and whatever you like with tahini dressing (although I've never tried it). 

    I'm sure there are lots of vegan alternatives out there, like vegan quorn, tofu and soya, but you'd have to look into it to double check. Health food shops have a fair share of vegan alternatives. I don't know anything about pea protein I'm afraid as I am a small sized woman.

    I just recently decided to go vegan. I've always been an athlete and I still play competitive golf, run Spartan Races and lift heavy in the gym. My daily caloric goal is 2079 and my macros work out to be 192g protein, 70g fat, and 170g carbs  I'm having trouble putting together a meal plan that will allow me to consistently hit those numbers. Any advice?

    In the past I never supplemented protein because it was so easy to get my macros from food. But am I going to have to look at supplementing with a pea protein or something? Obviously fats and carbs are easy targets with this way of eating. Thanks!

    The vegan buffé restaurant GREENROOM inside of the amusement park Liseberg is really good.

    Gone full vegan since new years. Pretty damn easy with all dairy-products existing in an oat-alternative. 

    Cream:



    Creme Fraiche


    Turkish yoghurt



    I also think this cheese works. Doesn't really eat cheese. But if I have to, this is nice.
