Vegans are the most strict and consistent vegetarians, the principles of which affect not only the field of food. Vegans refuse to eat all kinds of meat, milk, eggs, honey, gelatin, in other words, all products that are produced using animals. Vegans also refuse clothes, cosmetics, other household items, as well as entertainment in which animals are involved in one way or another.

People go vegan for ethical reasons, they feel sorry for animals, or they care about their health. And, despite the fact that many non-vegans imagine a vegan diet in the form of a leaf of Chinese cabbage, this is not the case. The vegan menu is very varied and vibrant. And it should be such that the body receives all the necessary products.

Buddha bowl or Buddha bowl

 

A new popular food trend is Buddha bowl or Buddha bowl. Its essence is that a small portion of cereals, vegetables, herbs, products that are a source of fats and proteins are laid out in a small bowl. They say that after meditation, the Buddha walked around the city with a round bowl, in which passers-by put beans, cereals and vegetables. And so, by the end of the walk, it turned out a full and healthy lunch or dinner. Such a bowl of vegan products can be different every time. Be sure to try!
