5 Things I Wish I Knew
11/01/22 • 27 min
Before going vegan, there were some things we wish we knew. The journey got so much easier once we figured out what to do in these 5 areas:
- Knowing what restaurants were in our area with vegan options. Not all restaurants that have a vegan option will come up on a vegan restaurant search, so look around and find them.
- Knowing our triggers and how to avoid getting hangry. Starting out especially, the hardest part was making sure that there were enough snacks available so we didn’t default to something easy and fall off the wagon.
- Knowing what food that wasn’t meat related was actually vegan. There are often non-vegan ingredients.
- Finding a local vegan community. It always helps to find like-minded people to share ideas and resources.
- Know and use your alternate protein sources.

What Are We Gonna Eat?
Welcome back! Today we’re going to talk about how to manage road snacks, eating out, and how to feel full. Going on road trips or going out to restaurants can be difficult, but preparation is key.
Here are some tips from our experiences:
- Pack lots of snacks.
- Research restaurants before you go and if there’s no vegan option there, eat before you go.
- Know yourself and your limitations.
- Bring your own dish to family functions or potlucks.
If you’re ever in San Antonio, definitely check out Binge Kitchen, Project Pollo, Cake Thieves, Blissful Burgers, and Earth Burger.

The Do's and Don'ts of Going Vegan
We learned these the hard way, so listen up! We’re diving right into some huge tips that will make things much easier.
DO bring snacks! You can’t make good decisions hangry.
DON’T just trust when someone tells you something is vegan. People don’t always know what that means.
DO take a B12 supplement. Experiment with protein shakes and quick breakfasts that’ll keep you full longer, but...
DON’T depend on processed foods. That’ll get you in a rut really quickly.
DO have a plan to curb your cravings.
DON’T feel like you have to give up on eating out. It can be done, just do your research ahead of time.
