A very big tip to going vegan is to not get mad at yourself for making a mistake by eating something you thought was vegan and turned out to be not vegan. We are human and mistakes are just another way of learning something new.
My tip: give up NOTHING! There is a vegan way to make EVERYTHING you love. Most people aren’t like “pro-animal cruelty” or “pro-coronary artery disease”. They really just don’t want to give up foods they love. But once they see they can still have a version of everything they love, and that replacement foods have come a long long way, it’s easy to “stick to it”. My favorite way to convert people is to cook and bake for them. 🙏🏻 Thanks for all you do! Five years vegan and I wouldn’t touch a tofu scramble until I saw you make one Candace. It’s a weekly staple now for us! You wouldn’t know it isn’t eggs. Grateful for you and all the vegan vloggers!
Great tips. I have only been vegan for 2 months and loving it. I love to cook and have quickly realised that I don’t want to try and replace meat, eggs and cheese but just eat real foods and am excited about trying new adapted veggies recipes without meat. I still eat some processed stuff but mainly when out. The only thing I have been struggling a little bit with is other people’s opinions. It seems that when you tell people that ur now plant based they tell you how they couldn’t do it and how can you give up meat eggs and cheese (still haven’t found one I like in Australia)😂 I am still trying to get my head around eating this way. I tell people it’s for health reasons, which is true but I am not ready to express my views on animal rights yet. One step at a time. Thanks for your videos they’ve helped me adjust to becoming a vegan without all the guilt. 🌸
Skin-on Potatoes boiled with garlic and rosemary then mashed with plant based milk, butter, bouillon and nooch. Add some siracha if you like a little smoke and heat. Serve plain with butter or with a simple, light gravy.
First thing that really inspired me when I started eating more plant based was recipes! I received a few vegan cook books as gifts and 3-4 days out of the week, I would choose a recipe from the book and make it! It was fun and I feel like it improved my cooking skills a lot!! Another thing that I found super cool was TVP. If you love bolognese or chill, try throwing in some TVP instead of the ground meat and you’ll be amazzzzed! Good luck to anyone who is planning on going vegetarian/vegan or even just trying out meatless Monday’s! Before you know it, you’ll be inspiring your friends and family to cut down on their meat consumption! You’ve got this 💕
I love how you’re adding tips on cooking, to me going vegan has helped me learn how to cook! I feel like it’s a super power honestly. Thank you for making this, had to share it!
Speaking of BECHAMEL: OMG those people that say, "We solved milk" actually did❣ I make béchamel sauces now with oat milk instead of anything else and it is so neutral, with the vegan butter and flour roux, you cannot tell the difference. I just had to figure out the ratio. The conventional ratio was 1:1:1 meaning 1 Tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon of flour for 1 cup of whole milk. The oatmilk bechamel is 2:2:1. Thickens up and carries flavors just like the original. It is amazing and there is no reason to give up anything at all, anymore. People can't tell my vegan lasagna is vegan.
You're welcome! I can't believe I got a direct response. I feel so special. Thank you for doing what you do. You have so opened up the world of vegan cooking for me. @@EdgyVeg 💖
Loved this. Cooking with the recipes you know but just swapping to vegan is such a good thing. So easy to google replacements for things/find a TH-cam video on it.
loved these tips! My best tip is to have a good spice selection at hand. It's somewhat daunting when you're a new vegan or new cook in general and you're missing something. Look at recipes in advance that you'd like and stock up if you can!
Candice you look amazing!! Thank you soo much for making this video. I've been vegan over 6 years and raising my girls vegan. The only way I learned to substitute and grow was looking up recipes on TH-cam and pinterest. Prep truly is everything! Although I have no control when it comes to measuring 😅 I love seasoning!! My fiance just bought me a vitamix for Xmas and I truly love how much more we are eating whole foods. Like cashew cream for tacos, smoothies, cheesecake, and so much more. Just today I made black bean Brownies, deep fried pickles and bruschetta. It's wonderful how much you can do with whole foods and seasoning!! I'd like to make light on LIQUID SMOKE As long as it's vegan it's an awesome marinate and seasoning when I cook my tofu with Maple syrup garlic, salt and liquid smoke. It intrigues people to try tofu. I did it last summer with shishcabobbs. I made an Asian stir fry the other day and went full out, with tahini and sesame seeds and added mandarins oranges, my gosh it was sooo good!! Its all about what you like.. cause any dish can be made vegan with small adjustments. Planning and preping your meals ahead can be so helpful in our busy world and educating yourself on how to veganise a dish and getting that satisfactory level is everything!! I love living this way and I only wish to show how tasty it is and how good it feels eating plant based foods.
I actually find cooking vegan meals easier because I don't have to worry about being careful with meat products, eggs, etc. But I always wash my vegetables;)
Same! Cooking meat was so gross. Ever since cooking vegan I really enjoy cooking! I think the only difference is you need to learn how to cook new meals.
Great tips, totally agree you need to know how to cook , I am Hispanic and so happy that I still eat my favorite foods my plant based way. Using spices is a definite plus. I have only been eating this way for about 2 years and love it and hope to continue the rest of my life, I was able to exceed my goal weight eating this way which is another plus. I have been watching your videos for sometime now and everything always looks so good.
Another tip I have is buying a few cookbooks: - 1 for everyday healthy food (like "Oh She Glows" or "Power Plates"); - 1 for comfort classics (like "The Edgy Veg", "Fuss-Free Vegan", "Vegan Comfort Classics", "Sweet Potato Soul"); - 1 for sweets (any dessert cookbook by Isa Chandra or "Chloe's Vegan Desserts" by Chloe Coscarelli). This way you'll be pretty much covered for all your food needs: but this time vegan! Follow the recipes and you'll learn while enjoying yourself a lot in the kitchen ☺️
Full disclosure: I just found out Angela Liddon's support for a white supremacist anti-mask and anti-vaxx movement. I won't support this person anymore, but you do you. You can always find "Oh She Glows" books in thrift shops or borrow at your local library.
I had no idea where to find nutritional yeast when I first went vegan, but once I found it, I wondered why I never heard of it before because it is amazing! I have a friend who has been vegan for decades and I should have brought her with me the first time I went looking for some of these new ingredients. Have a guide or be a guide!
I cannot bring myself to use vegan butter or margarine but I enjoy trying vegan recipes. I hope to do more and more vegan recipes in the future. I am starting to understand how that a vegan diet can give me enough proteins, no problems. And iron if I add more green veggies. I see vegan cooking as an alternative if I miss ingredients to make a cake or pancakes for example. I dont have eggs, no problem, I can still make pancakes! Thank you for inspiring us and for the well done presentations , your personnality shines through, you sound authentic.
This has been thee most helpful video! I live in Montana and my shopping options are almost non existant. I've been veggie for 7 wonderful months and vegan for about 2 weeks. This girl is riding the struggle bus for sure😂😂😂. Thanks so much for your kindness and help!!
As a vegetarian for over a quarter century I say: Before becoming vegan or vegetarian LEARN TO COOK. Learn to follow a recipe. Learn to measure ingredients. Learn flavor profiles. Learn timing, testing for doneness. You need to learn all of this with foods you are already comfortable eating so you can more easily evaluate new vegan recipes. Learning to cook is especially important for people who live in places where vegan convenience food isn’t available and their only option is to cook all of their meals. Learning to cook and becoming vegan at the same time is extremely frustrating and may cause one to give up the journey.
One way to stay the course on your Vegan journey is to be Vegan for the animals. 🐷 Just be proud of yourself that you are part of something bigger than yourself, you are helping put an end to these horrific crimes committed against innocent helpless souls. 🐮 Plus cooking a Vegan meal is an act of Love and Kindness. ❤ 🌿 Your body is a Temple, not a Tomb for dead animals. You will be healthier and happy and saving money on doctor bills. 🌻
Trying new things is definitely helpful! I haven't tried avocado until I went vegetarian at 21 years of age. I didn't like it because I had no idea how to eat it or know when it's ripe. But now I love me some guacamole!
You’re awesome Candice. I look forward to every video. Obviously you have a cooking channel but maybe you’d make an updated “why I’m vegan” or the differences of choosing to be vegan instead of only being plant-based. I also enjoy your flying off the handle ex-girlfriend rants. I wish you peace and love for yourself and others.
I want to buy your books, but they are only selling hardcover books. Are you planning to make your cookbooks available in Kindle format? That would be helpful to us with visual challenges and it would seem to be more Eco-friendly.
Excellent video Candice and I love 😍 cooking and being vegan has helped me have more variety in my diet and be adventurous in the kitchen ( it's never boring 😴). Great tips for new vegans. It's even easy to veganise non vegan recipes. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕Candice.
You're Canadian?? So cool!! I had to downgrade myself to "aspiring vegan" just because I don't understand protein well enough and I wasn't getting enough in my diet. (So I eat eggs and stopped worrying if milk was an ingredient.) I'll review your channel to see if you have any "about protein" videos.
Ok but the dairy free Boursin cheese is the BEST vegan cheese I have ever had the pleasure of eating! It’s pricey but I literally had to read the package when I tried it because it tasted so real I couldn’t believe it!! Anyway thanks Candace!!🥰
You can always HIDE Kale and other greens in sauces, dressings, cheeses... almost anything as long as you don't care about the color green. do smoothies etc.
And being vegan doesn't have to be healthy! Which many ppl think it is but you can still eat vegan burgers and French fries and be vegan! I recomend ppl to go out to vegan restaurants if they can like once a month or something and try differnt vegan dishes to expand their paladare.
Hey Hey >;-) I loved the taste of the Milk left at the bottom of the cereal bowl after my breakfast. I am happy to say I have found that flavour . I use the screw lid ziploc jugs. The small one. Add one cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk and 2 or 3 tablespoons of real maple syrup. Your call with how much maple. Shake well and enjoy. I drink this all the time >;-)
And what exactly are those who have the normal gene expression where the factors needed to utilize synthetic b12 are absent? Especially true for those of Nordic and Northern Europe descent, where a lack of milk, meat and egg causes deficiency, and, possibly permanent damage? It seems to me, vegans want to ignore this truth, but this need, not met by my vegan diet nearly killed me.
@@atCatLeigh You’re right, I lack intelligence. I must need to repeat using myself as a test subject. After all, in the religious tenets of veganism, animals have more value than any human. I don’t understand why, maybe it’s because humans are sinners from birth, and we’re stupid enough to question our Creator. In any case, I wasn’t able ever to understand why vegans work so hard and go to such extreme expense to make meat analogues. But, really, seriously, why do you call that dough ball Satan rather than bread? (Yes I know it’s spelled seitan… but that’s not how it is said, or heard) For me, it was less than a year, and I had to cut off my thin, frizzy hair, and not even school glue held my head coverings in place. Even my grandpa was trying to stuff me full of shrimp and crab. He sure knows nothing about nutrition, but he raised six children. The good news is, Jesus ate fish, and, he attended weddings, where meat was served. He also held the observation of Passover, and for it, a lamb must be the center of the observance. I find it impossible to argue with what he did, or how, or why. If it’s good enough for my Creator, it’s good enough for me, and I’m one of 7 billion on this earth. And still, no one has answered my question. Why do so many people fail? If the vegan diet is the right one, why are we designed to eat milk from birth? Why do we feel like we are starving after a gallon of pasta, but we’re full and satisfied when we share a small fish? Lastly, why is there such strong traditions of fermented food? The Celts fermented oats, in Africa, teff is fermented. South American populations barely survive on nixtamalized corn. Asian countries ferment vegetables, including their soy. Someone please tell me why it’s necessary for bacteria to be growing in our food. Why sourdough bread?
@@atCatLeigh Personal beliefs and religion are two separate things; all the same, the humane treatment of animals is a tenant of faith. And humans always have precedence above animals. Always. Which is why the human needs for fat soluble vitamins is why we have regulations stipulating when, and how, and where we raise animals.
Please consider what the building blocks of your food have been. When eating grass fed beef, you can be sure that that beef is made 100% from grass, and that grass was grown from the atmosphere. One never needs to fertilize a cow field. When you are eating vegan crops, the chances are that the building blocks of your food have NOT been carbon from the atmosphere, but carbon from fossil fuels. In every step of growing crops, fossil fuels are relied on heavily. Not just ploughing the fields and harvesting, but feeding and protecting too. Those essential fertilisers and pesticides are made using fossil fuels for raw materials and energy. When we eat vegan crops, especially, we are contributing to global warming on a horrendous scale. You're not just burning fossil fuels extraneously, you are burning them in your body now too, because that is what your food was made from. You are essentially polluting the planet, like a gas guzzling car, just by breathing.
According to the Oreo FAq and I quote "Yes, OREO products are veggie-friendly! Are OREO cookies suitable for vegans? No, OREO have milk as cross contact and therefore they are not suitable for vegans. ... OREO products do not contain nut or nut traces."
Most foods are made in facilities that make other non vegan products. That’s doesn’t make Oreos not vegan. Oreos have been a dairy-free and vegan treat since they first launched. Despite the creamy center filling, the cookie contains no milk. With the exception of a few flavors that contain some animal ingredients like honey, most Oreos are vegan.
@@EdgyVeg but then of vegan because made in an environment that has milk. Aka cross contamination. People would have no issue then, with a vegan meal being cooked in something that meat was as well. Aka cross contamination. Or a salad bar where they put it right next to a meat prudish. That does cross contaminate.
How to go vegan: learn to FORCE yourself to eat disgusting, bitter crap that you actually hate. Yes, this woman here doesn't realize it, but when she says that "boiled vegetables are boring and disgusting" and that you need "spices, condiments and cooking techniques and recipes" to get yourself to eat them, what she is clearly (though unintentionally) saying is that VEGETABLES ARE NOT MEANT TO BE EATEN BY HUMANS. Grass tastes delicious to cows in its natural state. Cows don't have to add spices to them. Yet grass tastes bitter and disgusting to us. If you have to disguise the flavor of a "food" item in order to be able to swallow it, then it's OBVIOUS that your body is telling you NOT to eat it. When these vegans use spices and condiments, what they are doing is bypassing their bodies' security mechanisms and fooling them into taking all the toxic garbage in. It's actually quite dangerous. Everything that's toxic tastes BITTER. The bitter flavor (and the rejection we feel towards it) is nature's way to protect us against ingesting harmful substances. That's why all alcohol tastes bitter, and that's why ALL VEGETABLES taste bitter too. Being vegan is literally biochemically torturing the hell out of our bodies.
I'd start veganizing slowly or go 100% vegan and just slowly increase your fiber. Vegan food could easily overwhelm your body if you don't already eat a lot of fiber
I don't get it. Why do a lot of vegans feel they need to blemish their beautifully clear skin with tattoos all over? I'm vegan but I'm not into needless pain from ugly inks. That's a total turn off for me, and not to mention the fact that it also harms the reputation of vegans in general as it makes them look like junkies. PETA please continue to encourage a healthy vegan diet but not tattoos. No mink nor ink !
A very big tip to going vegan is to not get mad at yourself for making a mistake by eating something you thought was vegan and turned out to be not vegan. We are human and mistakes are just another way of learning something new.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Everyone enjoys a vegan diet differently and that's why its so amazing
Been vegan for 5 years. still love hearing tips from others

Speaking of BECHAMEL: OMG those people that say, "We solved milk" actually did❣ I make béchamel sauces now with oat milk instead of anything else and it is so neutral, with the vegan butter and flour roux, you cannot tell the difference. I just had to figure out the ratio. The conventional ratio was 1:1:1 meaning 1 Tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon of flour for 1 cup of whole milk. The oatmilk bechamel is 2:2:1. Thickens up and carries flavors just like the original. It is amazing and there is no reason to give up anything at all, anymore. People can't tell my vegan lasagna is vegan.

For me, it was less than a year, and I had to cut off my thin, frizzy hair, and not even school glue held my head coverings in place. Even my grandpa was trying to stuff me full of shrimp and crab. He sure knows nothing about nutrition, but he raised six children.
The good news is, Jesus ate fish, and, he attended weddings, where meat was served. He also held the observation of Passover, and for it, a lamb must be the center of the observance. I find it impossible to argue with what he did, or how, or why.
If it’s good enough for my Creator, it’s good enough for me, and I’m one of 7 billion on this earth. And still, no one has answered my question. Why do so many people fail? If the vegan diet is the right one, why are we designed to eat milk from birth? Why do we feel like we are starving after a gallon of pasta, but we’re full and satisfied when we share a small fish? Lastly, why is there such strong traditions of fermented food? The Celts fermented oats, in Africa, teff is fermented. South American populations barely survive on nixtamalized corn. Asian countries ferment vegetables, including their soy. Someone please tell me why it’s necessary for bacteria to be growing in our food. Why sourdough bread?
@@atCatLeigh Personal beliefs and religion are two separate things; all the same, the humane treatment of animals is a tenant of faith. And humans always have precedence above animals. Always. Which is why the human needs for fat soluble vitamins is why we have regulations stipulating when, and how, and where we raise animals.
@@heatherknits124 Actually, some people’s bodies can’t make use of the natural forms of some vitamins.
You're so cool!!! 🙏
thanks!
Amazing girl
Please consider what the building blocks of your food have been. When eating grass fed beef, you can be sure that that beef is made 100% from grass, and that grass was grown from the atmosphere. One never needs to fertilize a cow field.
When you are eating vegan crops, the chances are that the building blocks of your food have NOT been carbon from the atmosphere, but carbon from fossil fuels.
In every step of growing crops, fossil fuels are relied on heavily. Not just ploughing the fields and harvesting, but feeding and protecting too. Those essential fertilisers and pesticides are made using fossil fuels for raw materials and energy. When we eat vegan crops, especially, we are contributing to global warming on a horrendous scale.
You're not just burning fossil fuels extraneously, you are burning them in your body now too, because that is what your food was made from. You are essentially polluting the planet, like a gas guzzling car, just by breathing.
Raw till 4
“for the love of god season your food!!!” Lol seriously this is a huge tip

Actually, your claim that most pastas are vegan is untrue. MOST pastas are made with eggs. Please read labels before buying.
According to the Oreo FAq and I quote
"Yes, OREO products are veggie-friendly! Are OREO cookies suitable for vegans? No, OREO have milk as cross contact and therefore they are not suitable for vegans. ... OREO products do not contain nut or nut traces."
Most foods are made in facilities that make other non vegan products. That’s doesn’t make Oreos not vegan.
Oreos have been a dairy-free and vegan treat since they first launched. Despite the creamy center filling, the cookie contains no milk. With the exception of a few flavors that contain some animal ingredients like honey, most Oreos are vegan.
@@EdgyVeg I tried Oreos once and was like. Where is the Flavor.
@@EdgyVeg but then of vegan because made in an environment that has milk. Aka cross contamination. People would have no issue then, with a vegan meal being cooked in something that meat was as well. Aka cross contamination.
Or a salad bar where they put it right next to a meat prudish. That does cross contaminate.
My biggest tip is forget everything you thought you knew about tofu. 😆
great tip!
I see you had to stop yourself from laughing when you said "treat your meat"
Haha “for the love of god” 😆
How to go vegan: learn to FORCE yourself to eat disgusting, bitter crap that you actually hate. Yes, this woman here doesn't realize it, but when she says that "boiled vegetables are boring and disgusting" and that you need "spices, condiments and cooking techniques and recipes" to get yourself to eat them, what she is clearly (though unintentionally) saying is that VEGETABLES ARE NOT MEANT TO BE EATEN BY HUMANS. Grass tastes delicious to cows in its natural state. Cows don't have to add spices to them. Yet grass tastes bitter and disgusting to us. If you have to disguise the flavor of a "food" item in order to be able to swallow it, then it's OBVIOUS that your body is telling you NOT to eat it. When these vegans use spices and condiments, what they are doing is bypassing their bodies' security mechanisms and fooling them into taking all the toxic garbage in. It's actually quite dangerous.
Everything that's toxic tastes BITTER. The bitter flavor (and the rejection we feel towards it) is nature's way to protect us against ingesting harmful substances. That's why all alcohol tastes bitter, and that's why ALL VEGETABLES taste bitter too. Being vegan is literally biochemically torturing the hell out of our bodies.
Search up Indian vegetarian dishes. Then pick up the vegan dishes outta them. You'll find the best dishes you'll ever find. Thank me later👍🏻
I can’t find good vegan meat I don’t know why but it don’t look good it smells awful I don’t know 🤷
Don't be scared if you have a diarrhea in the beginning.. Lol, tell us how to avoid that? 😁
I'd start veganizing slowly or go 100% vegan and just slowly increase your fiber. Vegan food could easily overwhelm your body if you don't already eat a lot of fiber
I don't get it. Why do a lot of vegans feel they need to blemish their beautifully clear skin with tattoos all over? I'm vegan but I'm not into needless pain from ugly inks. That's a total turn off for me, and not to mention the fact that it also harms the reputation of vegans in general as it makes them look like junkies. PETA please continue to encourage a healthy vegan diet but not tattoos. No mink nor ink !
Why do you feel the need to judge?
@@CaroAbebe Well, you're judging me right now with your question, aren't you? 🤔
Lol, ftlog, season your food!
please!!!
