Surviving Easter on a vegan diet

Hi!
Happy Easter,
Okay Easter is a really hard time to avoid unhealthy food (especially if youre trying to lose weight for a holiday!  :@ )
Some people have been asking me what I do for Easter since I don't have dairy products... and it couldn't be simpler!
MOST supermarkets provide for people on a dairy free diet. Here is the Easter egg my parents got me along with 2 bars of chocolate! Kinnerton are a compant dedicated to bringing people dairy free dark chocolate confectionary and take special care to avoid cross contamination! If you couldn't tell already I've enjoyed over half of this egg. 



















Another amazing vegan friendly brand is Moo Free who have an amazing selection of chocolate bars, buttons and Easter eggs! They have a load of flavours and are avaliable in a lot of supermarkets and online stores. 

















Still struggling to find something at your local shop that's vegan? Sometimes people can't access supermarkets easily, and that's okay! Most corner shops sell Fry's chocolate cream, by cadburys. This chocolate is also vegan! 

That's chocolate out of the way... but there is something else a lot of people might struggle with, since most people have a large roast meal on Easter Sundays with a large portion of dead animal ( meat!). 
Vegans might struggle to find something to substitute the chicken, pig or cow on their families plates. There are so many vegan substitutes out there now, it's so simple! 
I recently bought myself a nut roast to try, they are really easy to make and serve up a pretty large portion! Vegan friendly and include a load of vegetables, a source of protein and is high in fibre. Only £2.49 at Tesco!
If you have a Holland and Barrett nearby, you should be able to find a lot of amazing vegan meat substitutes, 

VBites have one of the best ranges in the UK for vegan fake meats. They do a turkey style roast , a gammon style roast and beef style roast and LOADS more!

Anyway, if you don't like to have fake meats you can just ask to have extra vegetables instead... ;) 

Anyway, I hope everybody has a great holiday! Hoping to post more soon.
