Looking to eat healthier? Need some inspo in the kitchen? These apps for vegans can help!
By Maya Campbell
Being a vegan is a lifestyle that requires dedication, especially if you consider veganism also involves fashion and cosmetic choices. Thankfully, the transition to a vegan lifestyle has become a bit easier thanks to technology.
For example, creating delicious vegan meals becomes way easier and faster with the help of recipe apps, that walk you through what you need to shop for and how to cook it, with glorious, inspirational pics of the results. There are also online resources that offer information on which cosmetics brands are cruelty free or not with a quick check on your mobile phone.
According to the Washington Post, the proliferation of mobile data has changed how we access information forever – no longer are we using clunky cookbooks to guide us through meal creation, for example – most of our food inspo comes from Instagram, Pinterest, and now, the proliferation of Apps for Vegans.
Through these, you can find not only great recipes, but also information on supermarket food brands and restaurants, too. Just visit Google Play, Amazon, the Android or iPhone store (depending on your device), and you’re set!
