Gluten Free and Vegan

[Kari Ann McNair]

Is it possible to be both???

Yes, we have many gluten-free Vegans who are members of this forum.  As with any diet, make sure you are getting adequate nutrition.  My kid’s Vegan friend seems to live on Skittles and chips.  Not exactly healthy in my opinion.

I used to only eat small amounts of meat on rare occasions, and recently lost my ability to digest any meats or animal fats. I now only eat egg whites in the morning using plant sources for lunch and dinner.

You need to find replacements for protein, such has high protein plant sources, vegan protein bars, protein chips (Protes Chips), Protein Powders (I live off of these almost) I recently found HPN Blends of plant proteins which are great, Julian Bakery Pegan blends or hte plain sacha inchi taste like a do se do girl scout cookie, I rotate my proteins also from those and Jarrow Pumpkin, Naked Pea or Growing Naturals Pea protein, etc in shakes. I get most my fats from nut butters, and my baked goods made with nut flours, along with avocados so I even eat low carb this way.
You can take most gluten-free baking mixes and sub in a Flax Egg for eggs in them, my bakery does this with our paleo muffins to make them vegan.
You can also find vegan meats like Beyond Meat Crumbles, Burger Patties, Sausage, and Brats. OR do what I do and make your own, I use Naked Jackfruit company bulk bags to make batches of vegan meat products IE, Mix in to instructions for meat of sausage and Chorizo seasoning from The Spice Company, mix it up let it marinade over night and run it through a meat grinder to make vegan sausage or chorizo.
I also take the same jackfruit, mix it with BBQ sauce ans put it in crock pot for a hour or two for a knock off Pulled Pork that most people can not even tell.

hahahahaha skittles ? omg I would likely take off like a rocket  I forgot those existed! Yes adequate nutrition is key, I am only eating food I prepare and trying to rotate my food too. I need another fridge!

Anything you can make in a big bowl.  Divide it up!
