INGREDIENTS

If you're new to a plant-based or vegan diet then going food shopping for the first time can be quite daunting, so I've put together a list of what my fridge and kitchen cupboards usually consist of. I don't buy everything on this list every week (the cupboard items such as oats usually last a few weeks) but it'll give you a general idea of what to buy if you're unsure! Sometimes I buy different fruit and vegetables but I've listed the ones I buy most weeks.

What brand of almond milk (and other non-dairy milks! ) do you buy? :)

  I usually buy Alpro unsweetened almond milk but occasionally I'll buy Rude Health almond milk when I can find it (or when it's on offer!) :) I also sometimes buy Oatly oat milk, Alpro coconut milk and Rice Dream organic rice milk x
