It can be easy being vegan ...

A lot of people have been asking me about veganism recently and it seems like people just think it's too hard to do. I think it's only hard because we've learned to eat a certain way and you sort of have to rethink that way of eating.

So ... to those people who think "what will I eat?" ... Here are some examples!

Vegan Breakfasts:
♥ Peanut butter and banana on toast
♥ Vegan cereal and a non-dairy milk (like hemp milk, oat milk, rice milk, or almond milk) note: loads of cereals are accidentally vegan - just read the label
♥ Soy yogurt and some granola
♥ Fruit
♥ Oatmeal with maple syrup swirled in
♥ Tofu scramble
♥ Vegan Muffins (I usually make a bunch on Sunday and eat them all week!)
♥ Link to vegan brunch ideas


Vegan Lunches:
♥ Hummus with a pita for dipping and some raw veggies
♥ Salads with no cheese or meat (I love to throw some beans in mine)
♥ Amy's Brand frozen non-dairy meals (great to keep in the freezer at work so it's just there when you need it)
♥ Veggie wrap sandwiches (let your imagination go wild)
♥ Veggie Chinese food (most Chinese food that is vegetarian is also vegan)
♥ Veggie sushi
♥ A veggie burger
♥ Thai food ... Middle Eastern (falafel, baba ganoush, etc) ... Indian ... the list goes on ...

... and my subscription to Vegetarian Times is always a wonderful source of recipes.

Please comment with your vegan lunch and breakfast ideas!
I'm always looking for new ideas. :)
