10 Vegan Food Hacks That Will ‘Change Your Life’

Derek Simnett, a certified nutritional practitioner with a popular YouTube channel called Simnett Nutrition, shares 10 vegan food hacks that can simplify plant-based eating and improve nutrition. These hacks include tips for keeping greens fresh longer by storing them in water, selecting ripe avocados with the stem intact, managing banana ripeness by storing them in the fridge or freezing them, and simplifying nut butter mixing by storing the jar upside down.

Simnett also recommends adding kala namak for an "eggy" flavor, creating a cheesy nut and seed crumble for toppings, embracing frozen fruits and vegetables for convenience and nutrition, grinding flax and chia seeds for better absorption of nutrients, cooking mixed grains and legumes together for improved texture and nutrition, and quickly identifying non-vegan ingredients by checking for allergen statements on food labels. These hacks aim to make plant-based cooking easier, reduce food waste, and boost the overall experience of transitioning to a vegan diet.
