Making small changes to what you eat can have a big impact for your health, the planet and for animals.

For baking:

1 egg = ½ avocado  

1 egg = ½ ripe banana  

1 egg = 3tbs aquafaba (chickpea water)  

1 egg = 3tbs peanut butter  

1 egg = 1tsp baking powder + 1 tbs vinegar  

1 egg = ¼ cup apple puree

  • Swap out hard-boiled eggs in salads with white beans. 
  • Make an omelette with chickpea flour and a bit of turmeric for colour
