Vegan 4-A-Day
Yesterday, as part of Vegan 4-A-Day, I ate all vegan meals and snacks. I’ve been eating vegan all week as part my goal for the Winter Shape Up Challenge. I photographed some of vegan eats yesterday to show you what kinds of delicious foods you can eat while still adhering to the principles of veganism (no animal products or byproducts). Sorry for the bad quality… I had to take them on my phone!
Breakfast was multigrain oats with pumpkin, peanut butter, and banana.
I actually keep all these ingredients in the office, so all I have to do once I get to work is add water and heat.
I forgot to snap a photo of my lunch, but it consisted of a falafel sandwich with tahini, lettuce, and tomatoes. I also had a side of lentil soup. I munched on a PB&J Larabar in between meals.
Dinner was eaten at happy hour. I had a hard time finding something vegan on the happy hour menu, but finally settled on another Middle Eastern-themed meal.
Cucumbers and pita with hummus and tabouli. I had them leave off the tzatziki sauce that normally comes with the plate because it contains yogurt.
Yesterday was my fifth day being vegan and I have to say, it’s the most annoying when you’re eating with other people. When I’m cooking for myself, I have no problem at all.
