Vegan milk transition
I see so many posts in this community about people wanting to transition to veganism but can’t find good milk alternatives. I thought I’ll share my personal experience as a strict twice a day chai drinker for 24 years of my life.
Before I turned vegan I tried to stop consuming milk several times but as any addiction goes it never really was easy. Once I decided to stop buying milk altogether and a day later I found myself ordering a carton, making that chai and dunking that vita marie biscuit. It felt good.
Cut to a few videos later, watching the forced impreganation of cows, I was naturally devastated. And just like that, that very day, I stopped. There was half a carton of milk in my fridge and I just couldn’t consume it anymore. I never looked back. Sometimes I still feel like an adrak chai would fix my day. But is it worth the cruelty? And my answer was always a no. I haven’t tried oat milk with chai mostly bcos it’s outside my budget for daily consumption also bcos if I like the taste I know I’d want it every single day.
But if you’re someone who finds it difficult to transition, I would say it’s ok. Be half vegan. It can feel too much to give up a diet u were used to all ur life. I feel we’d rather have more people as partially vegan than none at all. And perhaps if we take smaller steps, it’ll get easier down the road where u won’t find the need to consume dairy after all. If all of us really did witness the cruelty of the dairy industry, maybe it wouldn’t be so hard? Idk.
