I don’t normally post my meals so I’m not used to wanting my meals to be awesome for you all to see! It’s a good kind of peer pressure :)
I wish my first vegan meal post would be more interesting but we are low on groceries and I am unemployed… so I’m working with what I’ve got!
I started the morning off with vegan cinnamon-flax waffles.
They were gross- otherwise I’d share the recipe. Next time I will use less whole wheat flour.
But I ate a huge one anyway (see above: unemployed) with some Smart Balance and maple syrup.
A few hours after breakfast I headed out for a 4.3 mile walk/run (it was too hot to run!) and came home to some strength and stretching.
Workout followed by two spoonfuls of Sabra Roasted Pine Nut Hummus (review: AMAZING!!!) and some fresh watermelon straight from the bag.
Lunch was a spring mix salad with black beans, carrots, red onion, ginger dressing and BacUns. Plus another 1/2 waffle in effort to finish the batch (with Smart Blance and all-fruit jam).
Yum!
Afternoon snack included a few handfuls of Kashi GoLean…
…and fresh strawberries and cherries!
Dinner was sweet potato fries (with sunflower oil, paprika, hot sauce, Country Bobs and garlic salt) and a mix of endamame, corn, peas and black beans over fresh spinach.
So satisfying! I am itching for something sweet; maybe I’ll have a banana and PB now :)
There’s one simple, satisfying and healthy vegan day. See you tomorrow!

Your dinner looks soooo good - my kind of meal!
I just tried Sabra for the first time today - same flavor that you just ate - WOW!! That stuff is uber creamy and fantastic and addictive!!
check out my skinny hummus. cheap, easy and healthy.
i haven't tried that flavor of hummus. i'm currently working on a container of trader joe's three layer hummus...so delicious!
Sorry the waffles didn't work. They looked good.
And your edamame/sweet potato dinner looks wonderful!
good luck my dear, it sounds like a fun adventure!
hey from a fellow vegan (5 years and going!)...8th continent soymilk isn't vegan :( the vitamin d it contains is derived from animal. you may or may not be worried about that, but just thought i'd let you know!
Great job on becoming Vegan. I am vegetarian and have considered becoming vegan, but I'm not ready yet...
Thanks for sharing the days food with us
Impressive vegan eats! Hehe, I am glad I'm not the only one who eats GoLean by the handful:)
Even though you say your waffles were gross, they still look good to me! ; )
Nice! I did a vegan week a couple months ago and loooooved it. I couldn't believe how satisfied I felt, and how I had zero stomach issues!
That waffle looked amazing, too bad the taste was off!
After trying it a few months ago, I can literally not stand to buy any other brand. Two days ago I just made my mom buy it also. I seriously think its liquid crack.
congrats on a successful vegan day!
right now all of the gardens (including mine) are getting flush with veggies. so hit the farmers markets and get all the good stuff while it's here and cheap!
this is a great time of year to eat vegetarian.
Congrats on going vegan! I'm vegan too. My doctor always tests my B12, B6, and iron levels and they are all A-ok! Also, I recently had a bone density scan and my bones are actually stronger than they were before I was vegan!
Mmm I love Sabra hummus too :) Aww look at Dixie in the background, hehe :) Looks like some good eatin there girlie!
You may or may not have posted your recipe for sweet potato fries before, but they look delicious and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing.
I love Sabra hummus! I haven't tried that flavor yet, but I'll pick it up next time :D
Looooove your dinner. Looking forward to hearing how veganism works out for you!
