    Frequently asked questions

    Veganuary is a movement that inspires people all over the world to live vegan, i.e. plant-based, for the first month of the year. The aim of Veganuary is to make the vegan diet better known, to convince more people of a vegan lifestyle and to eliminate prejudices. In addition, attention is drawn to issues such as the environment, animal welfare and health.

    Yes! Definitely. Our Veganuary recipes are super delicious and there is something for every taste. And what many people forget: Vegan food is much more than cooked vegetables and dry salad! There is now a super tasty vegan alternative for almost all dishes with animal ingredients.

    That depends entirely on you. Some people make the change very easily, while others struggle with it and miss certain foods a lot. Please remember here that your Veganuary doesn’t have to be perfect. For example, if you just don't want to do without cow's milk in your coffee, that's perfectly fine. You may find the change easier in other Veganuary recipes such as vegan cakes or overnight oats.
