I’ve been vegan for about 12 years (13 in January) after reading some discussions on Reddit about the theme, they hit me really hard after a beloved dog companion passed away.
I make pb&j daily, since it’s so easy and yummy. I often eat beans and rice, fried rice, the most varied curries and farofa!
Vegan for 9ish years now
I used to lift competitively, i dont anymore but the way of eating stuck with me, even if the quantities are lower:
Brekky: homemade flatbread (literally just flour,salt,water,oil, baking powder) and homemade hummus with a fruit and leafy green smoothie
Protein shake, homemade soymilk, banana, peanut butter, pea protein, sometimes oats
Lunch is just rice and tofu, sometimes veggies but usually not, i just microwave it at work.
Dinner is pasta with cannellini beans
Super cheap, easy to meal prep. Easily adjustable in amount for when i was counting calories, tasty enough. And also easy to change sauces and spices if i get tired of it.
