5 reasons you should take part in V7 this World Vegan Day
World Vegan Day is the perfect time to start V7, our 7-day vegan challenge! Here’s why…
V7 is our new vegan challenge asking you to go vegan for one week. The daily meal plans and complete shopping list makes it easier than ever to kickstart your vegan journey. You’ll receive three simple, delicious and healthy vegan recipes every day for a week and all the tips and tricks you need.
Today is World Vegan Day and marks the beginning of World Vegan Month. Our challenge to you, throughout November, is to give V7 a go and see where your vegan journey takes you. Here are the top 5 reasons why you should take part…
It’s great for your health
As the weather is getting colder and we are spending more time indoors, it’s really important we support our immune systems with healthy foods, especially with the pandemic continuing to spread in the UK. Eating vegan can support your immune system by increasing the amount of fruit, veg and wholefoods you’re eating. Meat and dairy have a whole host of health issues connected to them, so why not cut out the bad stuff and see a healthier you with V7?
It’s great for the planet
Did you know that going vegan is the single biggest action you can take as an individual to reduce your impact on the planet? The government has announced we are in a climate emergency and now it’s up to us to take action. Going vegan can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 73 per cent, and V7 has everything you need to get started!
It saves lives
Over a billion animals are killed in the UK each year for food, with more than 80 per cent being intensively reared on barbaric factory farms. Choosing vegan takes these animals off your plate, saving approximately 100 lives a year. Go animal-free for one week with V7 and we’re sure you’ll feel happier about your dietary choices.
Have fun experimenting in the kitchen
Some people think going vegan is difficult, but thanks to V7 it couldn’t be easier. You’ll receive three easy, tasty and healthy recipes every day, meaning you can have fun getting creative in the kitchen and trying new things. We all know how regimented weekday dinners can become, so get ready to mix it up with our innovative recipes.
It’s an achievement
As the days get colder and the nights get shorter, we can all do with a pick-me-up. Challenging yourself to try V7 is a great way to get out of old habits and feel proud of yourself. You’ll be learning new recipes and cooking methods, discovering new foods and hopefully creating lasting change. Our 7-day meal plan is designed to help you succeed, and feel healthier and happier too!
It’s clear that we think V7 is amazing – but we’d love to know what you think! Make sure to tag us in your V7 journey on social media and let us know how you get on. Find us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Good luck!
