About Free Vee-gan

Free Vee-gan is about the liberty to eat what you want. It doesn’t matter if you are a vegan, a carnivore, a vegetarian, or a raw food enthusiast. 'Vee' stems from my childhood nickname and also from being vegan myself. Many of the foods/recipes in this blog will be vegan but, they will also be 'free '. This means free from pesticides, chemicals and allergy triggers like soy, wheat, and gluten. Ultimately, 'Free Vee-gan' is about freedom for vegans and it is a place where you can discover and find many nourishing and delicious food options to enjoy. It is about the freedom to consciously chose want to eat! Now how freeing would that be?

Welcome!

Without even realizing it, my journey to becoming vegan began a couple of years ago when I was diagnosed with several food intolerances (wheat, soy, peanuts, beef, and eggs). Being diagnosed with food intolerances was a blessing in disguise for me because it has guided me towards a more holistic life.
Since the diagnosis, I started incorporating more fresh vegetables and fruit into my diet and eliminating meat gradually, until I was eating a pescatarian diet. And, my journey has never stopped. At the start of my yoga teacher training course a few months ago, I decided to eliminate all animal products from my diet. This included meat, dairy, and fish. Initially, I thought this choice would last only for the first part of my training which was a few months ago. Boy was I wrong- it is going on 3 months. After feeling so amazing, both physically and mentally, I am making this a permanent lifestyle change. So, I invite you to follow me as I embark on my transformation.
