What is a vegan diet?
A vegan diet is plant-based and one which doesn’t include any products that are derived from animals - dairy, meat, and other by-products such as honey.
Veganism is fast becoming an increasingly popular lifestyle and dietary choice for many people and there are now scores of dedicated vegan restaurants, vegan-friendly ingredients in supermarkets, and vegan cookbooks readily available.
Grains, seeds, beans, pulses, nuts, vegetables and fruits make up the bulk of vegan cooking.
To cater to people living with diabetes who follow a vegan diet, we have developed a range of brand-new recipes, from delicious breakfasts to mouth-watering main meals.
Look out for our vegan meal plan, which looks at the diet in more depth, advising how to follow a vegan diet healthily and identifying what it could mean for your diabetes management.
