Keep in mind why you became a vegan or vegetarian
There are many reasons to stop eating meat and animal foods. Some do it to limit animal suffering in the world and to help save our planet by not overusing its natural resources. If that’s the sole reason for you, then vegan ice-cream ticks all the boxes. But a lot of vegans and vegetarians are at least partially interested in improving their health on this diet. If that’s the case then beware that using “allowed” ingredients to recreate the modern foods that made us fat and ill is probably not going to help.
Avoid your trigger foods
The ingredients you put in a meal can make it healthier but they won’t make it less addictive for you. Did you used to overeat ice-cream? If the answer is yes, then you should probably avoid it when trying to improve dietary habits.
