Question

I'm thinking about becoming a vegan.What kind of meals do they usually have for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Answer 1

For breakfast, i usually have a bagel with soy butter, cereal with soymilk, and some chocolate soymilk (sometimes coffee). Sometimes I like to have tofu scramble. I crumble to tofu real small in a pan and mix in mustard, nutritional yeast, and soy sauce. I also like banana muffins.

For lunch, alot of times I pack a salad (with spinach, squash, zucchini, and cucumber) and a piece of fruit. Sometimes I bring soy yogurt or bring a soy chicken burrito or something. I usually drink water at lunch.

As a snack when I get home, I like to have banana smoothies and banana bread (or zucchini bread). I also enjoy frozen bananas.

dinner varies. Sometimes I make chili with tomato sauce, different kinds of beans (usually kidney and black beans), corn, and sometimes olives. I also like tacos with refried beans (I find it fun to make them from canned beans) and brown rice. Sometimes I have potato questadillas. I put a peeled potato in the microwave with water in a bowl untill it is soft enough to smash. Then I mix it with salt and pepper, and smear on a flour tortillla. I pour some vegetable oil in the pan and fry it and eat it with salsa. Vegetable and tofu stir fry is also good.

If I want something for dessert, I like banana breas, zucchini bread, and soy icecream (but not all at once).

Answer 2

a typical vegal breakfast would be oats with soya milk or vegan toast (most bread is vegan) with a soy spread and yeast extract or jam. Cerials are popular with oat milk, rice milk, soy milk. Lunch any type of sandwich here are a few recSandwiches - Sandwich -  -

2 ripe avocados

Make the avocado butter:

Slice the avocado in half lenghtwise and remove the stone. Peel the avocado, then chop the flesh and put in a food processor. Add the lime juice, Tabasco sauce to taste and season with salt and pepper. Process until smooth.

Answer 3

For breakfast I have the same thing as I always had.  I have fortified breakfast cereal or hot oats with soy milk and maple syrup...or my favorite:  A blueberry bagel toasted with some tofutti better than cream cheese and strawberry jam!!  MMM...

For lunch I like peanut butter and jelly or a pb and rice mallow sandwich.  Sometimes I have left overs from the night before.

For dinner I make my family things like smart dogs and baked beans, vegan chili and cornbread, vegan pasta and sauce, vegan mac and cheese, vegan tacos, vegan sloppy joes, vegetable soup, vegan pizza, or sometimes I will just lay out a buffet of every vegetable I have and let my kids pick the vegetables they want on their rice.

For snacks we eat nuts, fruit, soy yogurt, crackers with soy cheese, peanut butter bananas, more hot oats, Popsicles, and a ton of other stuff :)

In the beginning it was a little hard, but it was worth it for the animals.  Just make sure you get enough calories and nutrients.  Most of the dinner items I listed have vegetable protein, and soy milk is a must.  It is worth it.  It helps your own health, animals, and the environment.  It also tells people in the meat industry that you won't support their horrific ways!

Good luck and take care.
