Welcome back to another What I Eat in a Day post! This is a special edition featuring a standard day in my vegetarian/vegan Whole 30 diet from February. This is also the third and final post about the Whole 30 after my February experience tackling a vegetarian/vegan modification on the popular paleo reset diet.
So, without further ado, here’s a typical day of eating during the Whole 30:
Breakfast:
Tofu + garbanzo bean veggie scramble – Recipe here
This is my current favorite – I love a savory breakfast and this is flavorful, filling, and a great way to get in a few cups of vegetables first thing in the morning. Plus a great source of healthy fats and plant-based protein.
Lunch:
Smoothie time! I’m a huge smoothie fan and couldn’t stand to give them up during the Whole 30. So I traded in my favorite protein powder {which contains stevia} for hemp protein. It’s definitely… Strong. But I actually got used to it after a few days.
My usual combination is spinach, mixed berries, cinnamon, ginger root, maca, and hemp protein. Healthy and delicious – The perfect lunch.
Snack:
You’re not technically supposed to do snacks, but I would never be able to make it from 12pm until 6pm without eating.
I would start biting.
It wouldn’t be good.
I brought back chia seed puddings during the Whole 30 and have been really enjoying a super easy almond milk-chia-fruit combo around 2pm. It’s a great energy boost to get be through the end of the day and to fuel my after-work workouts.
Another go-to is crudite and hummus.
Dinner:
I love a salad beast for dinner and I enjoyed the task of creating new dressings and veggie combinations. I especially like cashew and avocado based salad dressings – They offer healthy fats, are super satisfying and yummy. Pairing a giant salad with a whole food veggie burger has been my go-to during the Whole 30.
