Welcome to Planet Plantastic

The Planet Plantastic team have followed a vegan diet since November 2016. We've been experimenting in the kitchen ever since! Along the way we've discovered many new ingredients and how to create healthy, nutritious and delicious home-cooked vegan cuisine. Get inspired by reading our recipe posts. Find out more about how you can create scrumptious plant-based food here.

We believe that all living beings who we share this planet with deserve to live happy, free and peaceful lives. We're against using animals as commodities or for personal gain and, therefore, choose to avoid the use of any animal-derived products. Find out more in upcoming posts how you can cut out animal products from your purchases and create your own natural, plant-based and eco-friendly products instead.

Not only are we against the abuse, slavery and slaughter of the millions of animals who suffer in the food industry every year, we're also passionate about educating as many people as possible about these horrors. Our mission is to uncover these hidden crimes, so more people can make a conscious decision to stop consuming products that harm animals. If you want to find out how you can live cruelty-free, then read more here.

Compassion starts with self-love and acceptance then extends out to others. We're on our own journey of building compassion into our own lives, and there's still a long way to go! We believe that through practicing compassion we can make the world a more loving and peaceful place. Find out more about our personal journey in this series of posts.

A Veginners Guide
This series of posts tells you everything you need to know to get started on a plant-based diet. Healthy human bodies need the right mix of nutrients to function well. Aside from carbs, protein and fat, the right amount of vitamins and minerals (called micronutrients) are needed to support bodily functions such as the nervous system, heart, vision, and red blood cell formation.
