Tips for Giving Up Dairy

Dairy is Usually the Hardest for People to Give Up!

For those new to the veg lingo, vegetarians consume some animal products whereas vegans avoid all foods and products made of or by animals (including honey).

 

When we started out on our plant-based journey, we decided to become lacto-ovo vegetarians rather than vegans because we weren’t quite ready to give up dairy and eggs. As we have learned more about the harmful effects of dairy over the years, we have given up quite a bit of cheese but are always looking to improve.

 

In this episode of the Vegetarian Zen podcast, we share some tips for giving up dairy, some of which come from the amazing members of the Peas and Carrots Society! We also offer some vegan alternatives, in case you just need to have something “cheesy.”
