What I Eat in a Day | High Protein Vegan Easy Dinner Recipes

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. As a vegan, I strive to make sure that my meals are packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals. I also try to make sure that my meals are easy to prepare and don’t take too much time. Here is a look at what I eat in a day, along with some of my favorite high protein vegan easy dinner recipes.

Breakfast

For breakfast, I usually have a smoothie. I like to make a smoothie with almond milk, frozen banana, spinach, and a scoop of vegan protein powder. This smoothie is packed with protein and vitamins, and it’s a great way to start the day.

Lunch

For lunch, I usually have a salad. I like to make a salad with mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a vegan protein source such as tempeh or tofu. I also like to add some nuts and seeds for extra crunch and protein. I usually top my salad with a homemade vinaigrette dressing.

Snack

For a snack, I usually have a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts. I also like to make a vegan protein bar with dates, nuts, and seeds. This is a great way to get some extra protein and energy in between meals.
