If you’re a new vegan or someone interested in becoming vegan, this episode will be so valuable to you!

Aida’s family is from Eritrea and her cultural upbringing as a first generation Eritrean-American helped shape her food choices later down the road. Growing up, she understood from an early age where meat comes from since her family and community would buy fresh meat from local farmers and would often see the animals being slaughtered.

In this episode we chat about:

• Aida’s personal journey going from being a pescatarian to a vegan, and what inspired her to go vegan
• Veganizing cultural dishes
• Being a vegan mom, raising vegan children, and the complexity of transitioning a family to veganism
• Nutrition myths about meat and dairy that we all were raised to believe
• Strategies for staying full and feeling satisfied as a vegan
• Why raw vegans need to eat larger portions
• Tips for new vegans to help them transition easily, make delicious & simple meals, and feel satisfied when eating plant-based
• Why you need to find what works for YOU as a new vegan
