Veganism has become an increasingly popular lifestyle choice in the last few years, with more and more people switching to a plant-based diet for ethical or environmental reasons.

Now some converts have shared illuminating snaps of their grocery shops on social media to prove to meat-eaters that you don't have to rely on raw fruit and vegetables once you become a vegan.

Though many people switch to a plant-based diet for health reasons, others eat just as much processed food as before they cut out animal products from their life, as the snaps reveal.

From an Oreo obsession to a love for meat substitutes, these photos shared in the r/vegan sub-reddit reveal what vegans really eat.

And these shopping baskets are definitely not super healthy.

Some surprising items include: several ready meals (bottom left); hash browns (left); some ready meal curries (top centre); a packet of French fries (bottom right); some luxury bread (bottom right) and a packet of Oreos (underneath the colourful pasta in the yellow packet, centre)
