Vegan Lingo Explained
I know this is not a vegan recipe at all, but I think to be an even cooler vegan (because you're already cool if you're vegan), then you should know these terms.
Nutritional yeast= nooch (aka DELICIOUS vegan cheese and an excellent source of B12)
Blueberries = bluebs
Strawberries = strawbs
Bananas = nanas
Coconut = coco
Avocado = avo (vegans put avo on EVERYTHING)
Frozen = fro
Seitan = usually used to make vegan meat and derived from the protein portion of wheat
Tofu = used to make vegan meat, made from soy and very high in protein (if crumbled, tofu can also be used to make a tofu scramble, which is the delicious vegan equivalent of scrambled eggs)
Tempeh= also used as a vegan meat, very high in protein, and also made from soy
Quinoa = (AKA queen of like everything) a seed that can be used to replace rice in almost every dish and again high in protein
Vegenaise = vegan mayo
Daiya = company that makes vegan cheese
Hummus = vegans are pretty much 90% hummus because we eat so much of it
Aquafaba = thick water in which canned garbanzo beans come in and it can be used to replace eggs in vegan meals and desserts
Rawnola = a raw version of granola and it's made with oats and dates as a base and sometimes contains other add-ins
