Maybe you\u2019ve never heard of it, maybe you\u2019re taking part but flagging a bit, or maybe you\u2019re doing a wonderful job of sticking to a vegan diet this month, in that case I commend you and keep it up!<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>Matthew and Jane came up with the idea for Veganuary in 2013, they wanted to spread the word about veganism and set a challenge for everyone, focusing on the month of January because it is a time of new beginnings and resolutions. Trying the vegan diet and lifestyle for a month is easy because it\u2019s not a lifetime decision, you can try it out and see how simple it can be without the daunting thought of never eating meat or dairy ever again \u2013 but maybe once you\u2019ve realised just how easy it is and how great it is for the planet you\u2019ll decide to convert! Now the main reason people go vegan is because of the animals, we are exploiting innocent creatures keeping them in cages and tearing families apart for food that we can live without, and many think this is undoubtedly wrong. Going vegan is also the most effective way to help our planet, even more so than giving up your car! Take a look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.veganuary.com\/why\/\">Veganuary <\/a>website for more information. (You\u2019ll also find some great tips!)<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWe know it can be difficult to find vegan alternatives to some of your favourite foods, so we\u2019ve made it easy for you, have a look at all of our products tagged as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/tags\/vegan\/\">vegan<\/a>, it includes food, fashion and cosmetics that you can use and we are always expanding the range so keep checking back.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/310667-vego-whole-hazelnut-choc-bar.jpg\" alt=\"310667-vego-whole-hazelnut-choc-bar\" width=\"500\" height=\"159\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/310667-vego-whole-hazelnut-choc-bar.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/310667-vego-whole-hazelnut-choc-bar-300x95.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><br \/>\nBut let\u2019s be honest, the thing I\u2019ll miss most when I go vegan is the chocolate, so I\u2019m lucky we have a great range of vegan chocolate to keep me going. I\u2019m going to pay special attention to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/vego-good-food\/vego-whole-hazelnut-chocolate-bar\/\">Vego Whole Hazelnut Chocolate Bar<\/a>, a huge bar of vegan chocolate with whole hazelnuts, it\u2019s quite possibly the best bar of chocolate I\u2019ve tasted and will definitely curb your cravings.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWe may be coming towards the end of Veganuary but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s too late to try it! Go vegan for the next two weeks to prove you can do it, to see just how easy (and delicious!) it can be. There are hundreds of vegan blogs out there sharing wonderful recipes that will open your taste buds to a whole new world of flavour \u2013 it\u2019s only and complicated and expensive as you make it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re just over half way through January, which means we are also half way through Veganuary.
