Vegan emergency food supply list

Vegan staple foods to have in case of an emergency

Easy and manageable vegan emergency food supply list that will last you a couple of weeks in case you need to stay inside. How to have a well-stocked vegan pantry.

My husband and I have been in Florida visiting my brother for the past few weeks. It’s been interesting to watch the coronavirus news unfold from passive “fake news, liberal conspiracy” skepticism to toilet-paper-hoarding panic (think it might be time to install that bidet we’ve always wanted #SqueekyCleanAssHoleClub)

We’re heading back to Michigan tomorrow, so it will be interesting to see what it’s like on the road.

We will be coming home to an empty fridge. Since I love having certain staples on hand (beans, pasta and sauces, frozen veggies) we won’t be completely out of food. Plus, one of my secret talents is being able to whip up meals from a seemingly empty pantry.

Still, I’m feeling just a teensy bit anxious to get back and get some basic food necessities in case we won’t be able to leave the house for a couple of weeks.

I’m sharing with you the vegan food supply list that I’m going to buy when I get home. There’s no need to freak the fuck out, I just plan on buying enough for a couple of weeks. I plan on making a lot of soups in my instant pot and pasta dishes.

To keep our immune system up, we’re going to continue to make our daily green smoothes. We pack in as many greens and antioxidant rich foods as we can in there.

I’ve also had an Imperfect Foods subscription for a while now. They deliver produce and foods that stores otherwise wouldn’t buy because they look too “ugly”. So, I will be buying whatever produce they have on hand this week. It’s great because they deliver it right to your doorstep, so I may not even have to go to the grocery store.
