BREAKFAST | It's the most important meal of the day right. This January I have loved to start my day off with a big smoothie. It's a little odd since it is freezing outside, but I have enjoyed it so much. And since I only put one frozen component into my smoothies (the blueberries) it doesn't leave me too cold, as long as I stay inside. I've been making this smoothie quite a bit, and my husband usually makes a huge smoothie for him and my daughter to share.
LUNCH | My daughter made us a cashew cream cheese cucumber sandwich one day and it was so tasty I've been enjoying it on a regular basis this January. It is a super simple sandwich but also quite filling. I like to add spinach to mine as well.
SNACKS | We typically don't snack a lot, but I think this January when we do it has just been on whatever fruit is ripe in the pantry. Kiwi, Bananas, Green Apples with lemon. Again, keeping it simple!
DINNER | One of our favorite dinners is our Mango Sweet Potato Rice and Bean Bowls. They are so satisfying and completely customizable for each individual at the table. Daniel loves to make his extra spicy with Jalapeños and Hot Sauce. I love adding lots of lime. Kennedy likes to eat everything separately. This is one meal where I get no complaints (from my 4 year old). We all love them!
There you go. A complete day in our plant based life. It might not seem like much but we just eat until we are full. That means in the morning I drink about 36 oz of smoothie while Daniel might drink a full Blentec container. I might have one sandwich while Daniel eats two. We drink lots of water and snack on a few things in the afternoon. As for dinner Daniel completely fills his plate and goes back for more while the rest of us eat our own full plate (and sometimes go back for more).
I love eating plant based. I'm hoping I can share a day in our plant based life regularly so you might be able to glimpse the variety of foods we enjoy over the course of a year.
