Vegans: what does your typical daily menu look like?
Answers:
I stay away from packaged/processed foods as much as possible...
Today I had:
Breakfast: Soy protein chocolate shake made with low fat soy milk...and a B12 vitamin.
Snack: dried bananas, peanuts, and white raisins and cranberry juice.
Lunch: Veggie burger (made from bulk dried veggie burger mix) on vegan bread with tomatoes, onions, and lettuce and water.
Snack: Banana and cranberry juice.
Dinner: Stir fried tofu and Asian veggies (edamame, mushrooms, bamboo, water chestnuts, baby corn, and carrots) on wheat linguine noodles with peanuts and homemade teriyaki sauce.
Snack: Will prob. have either fresh fruit (plum, strawberries, or a fruit and soy milk smoothie.
I eat tofu 4-6 times a week, beans 3-4 times, nuts nearly everyday in some form (such as freshly ground peanut butter with no additives on vegan bread), fresh fruit daily, vegan cereal (such as granola which you can find in a variety of combinations) and soy milk 5-6 times a week. I try to have a banana a day. Also, as additions to meals I try to add avocados, tomatoes, broccoli, leafy greens, corn, potatoes, onions, and mushrooms. For alternative snacks I will eat processed vegan health or protein bars, trail mixes with seeds as well as nuts and fruit. I also try to stay away from vegan alternatives to cheese, mayo, cream cheese, sour cream, etc. as they all seem to be very high in fat. Instead I prefer to get my fats from nuts and avocados.
