Is the thought of a vegan Thanksgiving overwhelming? If so, relax. It’s super easy—all you have to do is use vegan products instead of animal products. That’s it.
Here are some popular vegan alternatives to common animal ingredients found in Thanksgiving recipes:
Here’s how you work it: Find out who is making the food for your Thanksgiving dinner and ask them to buy the vegan versions of these products and use them instead of the animal versions. No one will be able to tell the difference (I know from experience).
If you’re shut down, just make a couple of dishes of your own and take them with you to your Thanksgiving celebration! You’ll look like a good person for making food to share, plus you can still eat tasty food.
Oh, and be sure to show this guide to your parents if you haven’t already!
Good luck!

I had vegan dishes for thanksgiving, but my mom is oddly against veganism so i had to watch my food so she would not accidentally add any dairy products.. I hate that my mom tries to stop me from being vegan it’s so annoying.
go vegans!

Haha, I know how that’s gonna turn out… my mom wouldn’t even let me have my OWN graduation party be vegan. We had to settle for vegetarian. :/
