Anyone else love to see what’s in other people’s pantries and fridges? I do! I could probably stand and stare into a new fridge for an embarrassingly long time.
I’ve heard from a few non-vegans that it can be hard to picture what’s in the pantry (and fridge) of a vegan kitchen, so I wanted to share this unfiltered look at the ingredients that we stock in ours (by the way, both fridge and pantry were a bit sparse when I took these pics). Also, we don’t *always* have all the items listed below on hand. Lastly, for fresh produce, I find that things like leafy greens don’t last too long, so I often buy these fresh on a daily basis.
I created this list by going through all the items currently in our pantry and fridge, and then adding on some other items that weren’t there, but we regularly buy. I hope you find this helpful and that it helps proves that that switching to a plant-based isn’t as huge of a leap as society sometimes makes it out to seem.
