WFPB for Kids Blog: 21 Day Vegan Kickstart



Check out the 21-Day Vegan Kickstart website today. It is a great resource for Whole Foods, Plant-Based (WFPB) eaters, whether you are just starting your journey or already headlong into it.

The website is a wealth of information and they have an iPhone app. There’s a 21-day meal plan, great recipes, and several helpful videos (if you don’t like to read). They also offer celebrity tips and recipes, as well as a host of resources.

*Although the term vegan does not necessarily mean it is whole food, plant-based, this site does a good job of holding to the nutritional beliefs of the WFPB lifestyle: eating whole grains and a low oil intake, for example.

If you look at vegan baking cookbooks, they will often list white flour indiscriminately in the ingredients, as well as oil. With practice, you can learn what to substitute. I highly recommend “The Joy of Vegan Baking” by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. She lists many substitutes for eggs, for example, and the best occasion to use each (for breads, cakes, etc.).
