Your First Vegan Grocery List

This is the first vegan grocery list that corresponds with the first vegan menu plan from Vegan Nutritionista. I am including EVERYTHING you will need to make each of those meals, so a lot of this stuff you might already have at home. You might want to print this and then cross off things that you already have.

Please try not to be overwhelmed!!

I know there is a lot of stuff on here. If you are moving from a diet where you eat meat to one where you eat none immediately, you might want to get all of this right away. Otherwise, you can pick certain meals to add in gradually and only get those ingredients from the first vegan grocery list.

All your herbs, oils, seeds, oats, etc are going to last you for some time, so even if you have to buy a lot at the beginning, you won't be adding that to your weekly grocery list.

This list is primarily for those of you who want to start your new vegan life immediately and need to know what to buy at the store. It's also for people who are looking to add more variety to their everyday vegan diet. 

I have also created a blank master copy of almost every vegan grocery you would need. To learn more about this downloadable vegan grocery list, click here.
