As an increasing number of people make the shift toward a vegan lifestyle, the demand for ethical and cruelty-free fashion grows, too. This is especially true when it comes to shoes, which are commonly made of wool, leather, and even fur. Fortunately, some shoe brands have gotten ahead of the movement and started to create cruelty-free alternatives. Many of these shoes are even made with sustainable materials such as recycled plastic bottles and “leather” made from pineapple. If you’re in the market for a new pair of shoes, here are a few of our go-to vegan footwear brands.

NAE

NAE is a Portuguese footwear brand that stands for No Animal Exploitation. Its shoes are made from eco-friendly materials like cork, recycled PET, and pineapple leaf using fair labor practices and certified ethical manufacturing. The brand also offers a small line of bags and other accessories, many of which are made from apple-based leather.

VEJA

While not exclusively vegan, VEJA is a French shoe brand that has a dedicated vegan collection made from eco-friendly materials such as recycled plastic. Its vegan shoes come in a range of styles, some of which are made using animal-free alternatives to the brand’s best-selling leather designs. Others, such as the Nova sneaker, are made from organic cotton. 

MATT & NAT

Matt and Nat is a Canadian brand specializing in vegan bags and accessories, though its footwear collection is quite extensive as well. With a wide range of shoes including boots, flats, and heels, vegans and eco-conscious consumers alike are sure to discover the perfect pair. Most Matt and Nat shoes are made from recycled bottles and windshield resin, and the brand is currently in the process of testing fruit-based leather for future collections.

There are many reasons you may be looking to substitute eggs when baking. Most people hope to replace eggs to make a dish vegan or because of an allergy. But now, with the outrageous price of eggs across the United States, it’s best to find other alternatives when you can. Thankfully, there is a great secret to substituting eggs. 

Eggs are important in baking for a few reasons. They help bind ingredients together, provide moisture, and of course, add taste to the food. Despite all of this, there are ingredients you can use instead of eggs–but one of them is better than the rest!

The answer is applesauce! Yes, this delicious snack is also a great addition when baking because it has a lot of the same effects as eggs. If you want to replace an egg, use a ratio of ¼ cup of applesauce to every one egg needed for the recipe. You can do this for cakes, muffins, and so much more. 

Using applesauce is also great because you can buy it in individual-servings and store them in your pantry for a lot longer than eggs. Make sure that you are using unsweetened applesauce, though, or else you might end up making your baked goods a little too sweet!

Whether you follow a plant-based diet full time or for health reasons aren’t able to tolerate milk, ice cream can be one of the most difficult things to give up. Fortunately, you’re not alone and many people have removed ice cream from their diet. This switch has led plenty of ice cream brands to start producing dairy-free versions of this beloved treat and some are even better than the real thing. Here are a few we love.

Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Coffee & Boba

Three of our favorite things combine in this superstar frozen dessert available at Trader Joe’s. It’s made with a coconut milk base, cold brew coffee made from Thai coffee beans, and tons of deliciously chewy tapioca boba pearls. You’ll want to stock up on this one—trust us. 

Van Leeuwen Cookies & Cream Caramel Swirl

A match made in heaven. Chocolate sandwich cookies and homemade caramel complement each other perfectly mixed into vegan Tahitian vanilla ice cream made from a blend of cashew milk and coconut cream.

Oatly Frozen Desserts

Everyone’s favorite cow’s milk substitute now makes ice cream you can feel good about eating. A creamy oat milk base provides the perfect canvas for a whole range of flavors. They’re all delicious, but we’re partial to mint chocolate.
