January is always a good time to try something new - whether it's a new look, or an entire lifestyle overhaul - and one of the most popular things to change in January is your diet.
And if you're looking to eat more healthily, it could be worth giving veganism a go.
Launched in 2014, Veganuary is a charity which encourages people to go vegan for the month of January. But what does being vegan involve?
Vegans don't consume any animal products. AT ALL. That includes dairy (so no cheese or ice cream), eggs and even honey.
It might sound pretty extreme, but veganism has become increasingly popular over the last few years, and when done right, the vegan diet is high in nutrients and low in fat. Plus it's better for the animals, and the environment.
What's more, if you're creative, you can still eat all of your favourite dishes... just with an imaginative vegan twist!
Fancy giving Veganuary a go? Well you're in luck. We've rounded up the best family-friendly vegan recipes, which even your kids will enjoy. Check these out...
