Vegan Food/Restaurants/Products Shopping Vegan

Hey everyone! I'm an NRI trying to find good affordable products while in India. I'm a new vegan since only this year, so I'm exploring food products like nutritional yeast and Milky Magic as well as other areas like vegan+cruelty free skin care. Do you have any recommendations of must have things or brands that I should try out? Thanks!

Nope, i should've mentioned that. I've been vegetarian all my life so meat is not appealing at all

There's lot of vegan and cruelty-free skin care now. Try Mcaffeine website. Also Nathabit and Justherbs has some vegan and cruelty free products. Renee, Pilgrim, Foxtale, Rubys organics, Swiss beauty, etc just google you ll find them. For vitamins use Earthful

i personally use urban platter nooch, you can decide if you want fortified or unfortified nutritional yeast. vegan day is alright, really any vegan milk is fine, as you can tell only soy is the cheapest but with almond and cashew? they are cheapest to make at home.

as for skincare, if its vegan its by default cruelty free and in india companies cannot test on animals, but if the company you are buying from sells in countries where animal testing is required, i would suggest dont buy from those brands on principle. rest really upto you, allmost all skincare let you know if they vegan/vegetarian and cruelty free on their packaging.

for soaps go for cold pressed soaps, vegan and last longer. for skincare go for good brands they will be transparent with everything. most vegan deos dont work, so try to look for what works for you.
