2013 has proved to be a big year for power couple Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. Not only did they welcome their first child in March, daughter Lincoln Shepard, now the stunning Kristen has also been named the Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity of 2013!
"I had a hard time disassociating the animals I cuddled with—dogs and cats, for example—from the animals on my plate, and I never really cared for the taste of meat. I always loved my Brussels sprouts!" says Kristen, who, after being vegetarian for many years, eventually went vegan.
She's not the only new mother to make the list and show the world that a vegan diet is as easy on the body as it is on the eyes. Vegan moms Jenna Dewan Tatum and Tia Mowry were also nominees in this year's contest. Politicians scored big, too, with former President Bill Clinton and Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Cory Booker both racking up votes. And today it seems as if you can't see a top film or TV show that doesn't star one of our sexy vegetarian nominees—Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Joaquin Phoenix, Casey Affleck, Rooney Mara, Edie Falco, and Peter Dinklage (and too many others to mention!) scored big with voters, too.
HAPPY VEGAN EATING!
1. WHAT TO BUY
Overhaul your shopping list by adding a few mock meats and nondairy delights. Here are some of the products that make our mouths water the most! Best of all, many of these can be found at grocery stores in your neighborhood. A few of our favorites are Daiya vegan cheeses, Gardein vegan meats, Earth Balance vegan butters, and Silk soy milks!
2. WHERE TO FIND ’EM
Many grocery stores have a natural- or health-food section, where many vegan items can be found. Some products are located in other areas, though. For example, veggie meat slices and tofu are often kept near the produce and some frozen products are kept near breakfast foods. Vegan margarine and soy milk are frequently kept right next to the dairy varieties. Be sure to ask a store clerk for help if you can't find what you are looking for.
3. WHERE TO EAT
There are usually vegan options no matter where you are—a restaurant, a friend's house, or on the road. You just have to know what to look (and ask!) for. Here are some pointers to help you eat vegan when you're away from home:
• AT A RESTAURANT:
There are vegan and vegetarian restaurants around the country, but you can also find plenty of vegan options at restaurants that serve meat. Check out our list of chain restaurants that are serving up meat-free meals. Don't worry if your favorite spot is not on the list. Just ask the waiter what vegan options are offered, and most restaurants will accommodate you—even a steakhouse!
• AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE:
Get involved! Call ahead of time and ask your friend what is on the menu. Offer to help make it vegan or bring a tantalizing vegan dish to share.
ON THE ROAD:
When traveling, arm yourself with an app that will help you find the closest vegan or vegetarian restaurant. One of our favorites is the Happy Cow app.
TIPS FOR EATING OUT
Denny’s, Red Robin, and Johnny Rockets all offer mouthwatering vegan burgers. When dining at the retro diner Johnny Rockets, try the delicious Streamliner—a vegan burger topped with grilled onions, shredded lettuce, fresh tomato, pickles, and mustard (pictured here).
