Since I'm vegan, incorporating elements of a canine ancestral diet into my lifestyle will be more about emulating the nutritional balance rather than the exact foods wolves consume. Wolves eat a mix of proteins, fats, and plant matter, with an emphasis on whole, nutrient-dense sources. Their diet is built for survival, strength, and endurance—qualities I can mirror through plant-based foods while maintaining my values.

### **Key Elements of a Wolf's Diet & Vegan Alternatives**

#### **1. High-Protein Intake**

Wolves thrive on a protein-rich diet, which fuels their muscles and sustains their energy for long periods. You can incorporate:

- **Legumes & Pulses** – Lentils, chickpeas, black beans, and split peas

- **Soy-based Proteins** – Tofu, tempeh, and edamame

- **Seitan (Vital Wheat Gluten)** – A high-protein, meat-like option

- **Hemp & Chia Seeds** – Packed with complete proteins

- **Nutritional Yeast** – Adds protein and a cheesy flavor to dishes

#### **2. Balanced Fats for Energy & Brain Function**

Wolves get essential fatty acids from prey, but you can substitute with plant-based sources:

- **Omega-3s** – Flaxseeds, walnuts, algae-based supplements, hemp seeds

- **Healthy Fats** – Avocados, olives, coconut, and nuts

- **Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs)** – Found in coconut oil, which can boost energy like animal fats do for wolves

#### **3. Micronutrients & Minerals from Wild Plants**

Wolves eat berries, grasses, and herbs instinctively to maintain their health. You can add these:

- **Berries** – Blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries for antioxidants

- **Leafy Greens** – Kale, spinach, dandelion greens (high in calcium and iron)

- **Herbs & Wild Edibles** – Nettles, burdock root, and spirulina for detoxifying and nutrient density

#### **4. Gut Health & Digestion**

Wolves consume organ meats and bones for vitamins and minerals. A vegan version includes:

- **Fermented Foods** – Sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, and kombucha for gut health

- **Seaweed** – Rich in iodine and minerals, similar to nutrients found in animal organs

- **Mushrooms** – Reishi, lion’s mane, and chaga mimic the adaptogenic benefits of organ meats

#### **5. Cyclical Eating & Fasting**

Wolves don’t eat constantly; they gorge, fast, and graze on small plant foods. You might try:

- **Intermittent Fasting** – Eating within a set window (e.g., 8-hour feeding period)

- **Feast & Fast Cycle** – Some days with high intake, some days lighter with just fruits and greens

- **Instinctual Eating** – Listening to your body’s needs rather than forcing strict meal times

#### **6. Hydration & Natural Electrolytes**

Wolves get hydration from prey and fresh water sources. For you:

- **Coconut Water** – A natural electrolyte boost

- **Herbal Teas** – Dandelion, mint, and chamomile for hydration and benefits

- **Infused Waters** – Lemon, cucumber, or berries to mimic mineral-rich natural waters

### **Meal Ideas Inspired by a Canine Ancestral Diet**

- **"Hunt & Gather" Bowl** – Lentils, roasted mushrooms, wild rice, dandelion greens, and tahini

- **High-Protein Wild Plate** – Grilled tempeh, hemp seed pesto, roasted root veggies

- **Feral Smoothie** – Blueberries, coconut milk, hemp protein, chia, and spirulina

- **Forager’s Broth** – Miso soup with seaweed, tofu, and mushrooms

- **Raw Energy Bites** – Dates, walnuts, cacao, flax, and a touch of sea salt

I'm a nerd and a vegan wolf so have my collected information and brainstorming

[radicalcoffeeclub]

what are ur go-to vegan recipes?

Thanks for this question! I like to cook at home so here are a few meals I make on the regular.

-Soup with onions, potatoes, carrots, sweet potato, cauliflower and chickpeas in a coconut milk curry broth with ginger

-Pureed soup with red lentils, canned tomatoes, carrots, sweet potato, onion, garlic, sometimes I add coconut or oat cream and sometimes I eat it just as a tomato based soup. Top with hemp oil and hemp seeds to make it amazing and get those omega fatty acids

-Tofu casserole (spin on classic finnish casseroles): sliced potatoes and onions with grated tofu and dill mixed in an oven dish and topped with oat cream

-Pasta salad with pesto, tomatoes, whatever veggies you like, tofu and/or chickpeas and hemp oil

-Couscous with beans, tomatoes and veggies

-Tortilla wraps with rice, beans, veggies and whatever other toppings you like

-Vish soup (again a spin on finnish creamy salmon soup): potatoes, carrots, onions and smoked tofu in cubes in a basic veggie broth with lots of pepper and dill, topped with oat cream

-Pasta in many ways: sometimes super simple with just some oil, garlic and maybe peas or chickpeas, sometimes with a hearty tomato based soy (or pea based) mince sauce, sometimes with oat cream and some mushrooms, I also use different meat replacement products every now and then to mix things up (like using vegan "ham" for a varbonara)

-Lentil sauce with potatoes or rice, basically just cook some lentils with onions, spices, maybe some veggies, and tomato puree and/or oat cream

-Fried noodles with veggies and tofu or edamame in various sauces like teriyaki

-I also have to mention overnight oats and smoothies to get those fruits and berries in!

What else, what else... these are the first that come to mind. I hope you got some ideas from these! :) I like pretty simple foods and basically I cook whatever I feel like eating on a given day. I do also eat like convenience store pre-made food especially on days I'm working late, I'm glad there's vegan options to choose from but I do try to eat home cooked food most days. ♡
