The start of a new year is a time to try new things. If you’ve ever thought about trying out a plant-based diet, January is a great time to get started. Every year, people around the world participate in Veganuary - a pledge to try going vegan for one month. Here at Mother Raw, all of our products are vegan, so we wanted to share a little more about Veganuary for anyone who’s inspired to give it a try this year!
What is Veganuary?
Veganuary is a 31-day pledge to try vegan for the month of January. Since 2014, almost 1 million people in 192 countries have participated.
Going vegan can help animals, protect the planet, and it’s good for your health, so people have many reasons for transitioning to more plant-based lifestyles. Participating in Veganuary is seen by many as a step toward a better world. Their mission is to build a global movement with the aim of ending animal farming, creating a world where food production does not destroy the environment, and improving human health. A plant-based diet can also be good for your wallet, as protein-packed legumes, grains, and vegetables are often less expensive than meat protein.
How to get involved
To participate in Veganuary, all you have to do is take the pledge to try vegan for 31 days. You’ll receive daily emails with free resources and advice to help you along the way, including recipes, meal plans, and helpful tips. It’s an amazing opportunity to learn more about plant-based eating and try something new. Make it even more fun by finding a friend to join you as you venture into Veganuary!
After you’ve decided to try Veganuary, you can get started on your vegan diet! Find your food inspiration and then buy your plant-based groceries. You’re in luck because not only are all of our products vegan, but we also have tons of delicious vegan recipes you can try! Going vegan doesn’t mean giving up your favourite foods - we’ve got everything from sushi to gyros to pizza.
If you’re interested in trying a more plant-based diet, Veganuary is a perfect time and we at Mother Raw are here to help!
