Vegan Hacks You Might Not Have Known

Becoming vegan when you’ve been raised on a non-vegan diet can be very difficult. It’s hard to know how to use or cook vegan produce as some things shouldn’t be treated as their non-vegan counterparts. Here are some vegan life hacks that might sound odd but trust us, we know all things vegan.

Curdled milk?

Some brands of vegan milk curdle in hot drinks more than others. It’s about finding what brand or type of milk works best for you. However, for an instant fix, try putting the milk in before the water. Yes, there have been many memes about people who put milk in first, but it really does make a better cuppa.

Dry substitutes?

Quorn pieces especially can become dry if cooked for too long. Try cooking the vegetables and other ingredients first as many vegan substitutes only need heating up. Always use the guided instructions on the packaging for the best result.

Secretly vegan!

Did you know Oreo’s are vegan? Yep, there are loads mainstream treats and snacks that might not say they’re vegan but, when you look at the ingredients, they are!
