How To Have A Vegan Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is all about family, food, and football - at least for us! This year things will be a bit different but the food will be just as delicious. The thought of having a vegan Thanksgiving can seem as difficult as climbing Mt. Everest. But we promise it isn't as hard as it seems!

In Episode #7, we offer tons of tips on how to have a successful and delicious plant-based Thanksgiving. Pulling on personal experience, our advice focuses mainly on the food but also on fielding the inevitable questions that come from eating vegan at a food-based holiday.

Where and With Whom

As you can know, Thanksgiving definitely requires preparation. The amount of prep needed will depend on where you plan to spend Thanksgiving and with whom.

If you plan to join others for the holiday, a conversation needs to be had about what food will be there and what you need to bring for yourself. In this episode, we also cover various ways to handle conversations with non-vegans during this family holiday and how to share the vegan love while keeping your food safe from cross contamination.

If you're spending your holiday with those in your household, you have more control over your vegan Thanksgiving experience. You're less likely to have to answer a million questions and you can spend the day cooking vegan Thanksgiving dishes in the comfort of your own home.

Veganize Thanksgiving

No matter where or with whom you are spending your vegan Thanksgiving, you need to eat just like everyone else. In this episode, we spend far too long discussing how to make your favorite Thanksgiving dishes vegan. We also talk about why this is a good time to try something new or order from a local vegan restaurant. Of course, we give our favorite tip of all time - bring extra food!

With so many tips, we hope this episode helps you have the best vegan Thanksgiving possible and remember to enjoy the holiday as best you can.
