The Plant-Based Life: A Day in the Life of a Vegan
Labels, love ‘em or dislike them–I am proud to call myself plant-based, a.k.a vegan. I don’t eat animal products, nor “processed” foods. My household pantry is filled with whole foods like nuts, seeds, and grains. My refrigerator is stocked with fruits, veggies, and lots of pickled concoctions I make to mitigate food waste but also create gut-friendly foods.
In this article, I am bringing you everything vegan I eat in a day. Think of this as a peek into my whole food plant-based life that I hope can be of inspiration to you!
Early AM
Water with lemon and Celtic salt
Every morning I spring out of bed and head to the kitchen for filtered water. I add Celtic salt and fresh lemon to kickstart my system, optimize hydration, and balance my gut.
Coffee
Organic espresso with homemade nut mylk
After hydrating, I head to my espresso machine for a strong Americano using organic dark roast beans and homemade nut milk.
Breakfast
Curry tofu scramble with olives and avocado or Berry smoothie with HUM core strength powder
My breakfast alternates between a tofu scramble or a berry smoothie, packed with nutrients and flavor.
Lunch
Roasted veggies with quinoa
For lunch, I enjoy a light meal of roasted veggies with quinoa and a drizzle of tahini.
Snack
Apple with almond butter or veggies with hummus
For a snack, I opt for an apple with almond butter or veggies with homemade hummus.
Dinner
Chickpea pasta with tomato sauce or vegan pizza and salad
For dinner, I indulge in chickpea pasta with tomato sauce or homemade vegan pizza served with a side salad.
Dessert (if any!)
Hot cocoa or popcorn
For dessert, I enjoy homemade organic popcorn or a warm cup of hot chocolate made with nut milk, cocoa powder, and maple syrup.
The ONE supplement I can’t live without
As a plant-based eater, I prioritize getting a boost of B12 through supplements to support my health and well-being.
Remember that everyone is different, and it’s essential to eat according to your needs. Happy eating, vegans!
