Vegan Staples i Rely on heavily
16
items Having these in my life have made veganism not only easier, not only better, but also FRICKIN SICK. Is veganism a bit more work and planning than being able to scarf down croissanwiches for every meal? Yes. But does that mean it has to suck? If it do...

“What do you even eat?” The answer may shock you!
FOOD!
Been making my own seitan for over ten years. Here's what with. Find my recipe video on my youtube channel: “the best and easiest seitan” 179k views
Vital Wheat Gluten | Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods
useful for making seitan and as an AMAZING breading-type coating for various things including seitan and tofu. Also amazing just by slamming back a tablespoon or so on its own.
Nutritional Yeast Flakes - Vegan Nutrition
More or less the greatest vegan yogurt there is. Very hard to find, though; it was gone for about 4 years after COVID. But now it's back at Whole Foods. The other one I like is Forager Greek Style (also listed)
Plain Oatmilk Skyr | Icelandic Yogurt
Only slightly easier to find than Icelandic Provisions but holy f*ck is it good.
Unsweetened Plain Greek Style Yogurt
USE CODE “MARK74117” for 10% OFF. I use True Nutrition's custom protein blends. I use a blend of 45% pea protein, 35% rice protein, 15% soy protein and 5% hemp protein. Per 34g scoop, there are 27g of protein. F*CK YEAH
For protein powders, it's tricky as a vegan because of two main reasons: a) powders lack a blend of protein sources (leading to wackass amino acid profiles), b) they often taste weird and crappy, and c) a lot of vegan powders add “greens blends” and ...

True Nutrition
The best and easiest-to-find vegan protein bar, as long as you're not trying to cut down on calories. This one is in the 350+ range, hence it is closer to a small meal bar than a true protein bar. I also like Nu-Go protein bars.
Builders Protein Bars - Clif Bar
Top-notch, excellent, and amazing. But once again, don't assume because it is “vegan” and a “protein bar” that you can eat five of them and not put on unwanted weight.
NuGo Nutrition: Nutrition Bars | Protein Bar | Real Snacks
For pure value, you can't touch this shit. ONE-POUND blocks. where can you even buy those anymore? 14 ounces is what you see most of the time these days. IT SUCKS. But Kirkland keeps the dream alive.

I make my own seitan. been making it for damn nigh a decade. But if you don't want to do that, I understand.
This is the best seitan you can buy at a store. And it's generally available in Stop and Shops I've been to.
And no, it's not a soy product. It is made of pure gluten. So if you don't like gluten, STAY AWAY.
Me? My body was build to decimate and destroy gluten. Hence I eat a SHITLOAD of seitan. And so should you.
but have other proteins too. The amino acid profile of seitan is a little limited.

Highly processed Meat Substitutes
There are three reasons to eat them. One: simplicity. Two: to feel like a normal person at Kirsten and Dan's barbecue. and Three: protein. I'm not going to be say they're “delicious” or “just as good” or “better” than real meat. Why? Because I don't ...
This is the REAL Field Roast hotdog. The “ballpark” one is BS. This one is 5000x better.
Classic Smoked | Field Roast
The original and best. This one actually CAN be delicious or highly enjoyable. Impossible beef is for republicans. Be a real one. Be BEYOND. No but it is my fave of the two. Impossible is good too but it's too limited. Beyond is more versatile. I DO ...
Beyond Beef | Vegan Ground Beef - Beyond Meat
you can't eat Beyond Sausages at every meal (too expensive), nor indeed can you do the same with Tofurky sausages (too cheap).
Field Roasts are right in the middle. Also, they microwave well, unlike any Beyond product. So they are ideal for meal preps.

I don't know if Beyond makes nuggets and I don't give a frick. Impossible nuggets are everywhere (even at AMC theatres, some of them), and they're hecka good. Complete shit, nutrition-wise, more or less. But a lot of fun. Five nuggets has only 10g of...

I went the full path. Any leather or other animal products I have procured while being vegan came secondhand. But these….these were first.
Xero Shoes discontinued both of the pairs of shoes I got from them! Those sneaks! But I liked em a lot. They were the Denver 1 and the Forza. Maybe you can find 'em on ebay.
I used it for 6 years. I'm a bifold wallet kinda guy. Now I have a hemp wallet (reco'd elsewhere in this list). But the Corkor developed a nice patina and kept its shape and toughness. Would definitely buy again.
All Wallets | Wallets made from Vegan Cork - Corkor
I got this when I got the 8000kicks Modular backpack (which is pretty ill). I have to say, I was relieved when the little weed emblem fell off, as I do not smoketh the funny stuff and I don't want mothafucks I'm laying mad bills on to get the wrong i...
Stealth Hemp Wallet | 8000Kicks
These shits are gangsta as frick. And they're cool as hell. Low-profile heel; I wish they were totally barefoot but they're pretty close. Steel-Toe as well!!! When I walk around with these, I look like a real “fashion/cool guy” who, like, lives on an...
