Question

So i'm recently become a vegan, about 5 weeks ago. I'm doing rather solid on it with all my nutriunt needs taken care of.

So far i have...

Breakfast:

oatmeal

full grain bagel with vegan cream cheese

snacks:

nuts

pb&j sandwhich

potato

Answer 1

Bean tacos, or corn chips with a mashed pinto bean and olive oil dip.  Can put hot sauce also.  

Buy those plain Bush pinto or frijole beans when you can't cook your own.  Sesame seed oil, olive oil, or rice bran oil, and maybe some seasoning and hot sauce?  

I ain't a vegan, but I know when you quit meat and cheese etc., the beans don't give you near the gas you might think.

Answer 3

This is what I eat every breakfast, it's delicious and it never get's old for me...though from lack of variety it might get old for someone else.

- Cheerios

- Soy Milk

- Banana (1 chopped up in the cereal)

- Orange Juice

It works for me and is extremely healthy. For snacks well

- Organic crackers

- Butterless Popcorn

- Pineapple

- Apple

- Oranges

- Crackers

- Chips (I eat lots of chips)

- Apple Sauce

That's about as much as I can think of now.
