14-Day Vegan Meal Plan: Day 10

Veganism is very popular nowadays, but for most of its followers, it is not simply a diet, it’s a way of living based on ethical, environmental and ultimately, health reasons. The vegan diet eliminates animal products and byproducts completely and replaces them with plant-based substitutes such as fruits and vegetables, tofu, cereals, seeds and nuts.

DAY 10

Breakfast:

Spicy morning margarita smoothie with 240 mL limeade, 1 avocado, juice of 1 lime, 30g vanilla-flavored pea protein and thin slices of jalapeno pepper to taste – 322 kcal

Snack:

180g honeydew melon drizzled with 2 Tbsp orange juice and 1 tsp honey – 197 kcal

Lunch:

Asian salad with 150g grilled tofu, 60g shredded cabbage, 30g diced radish, 30g shredded carrots and 30g crushed peanuts, dressed with 2 Tbsp asian salad dressing and 1 Tbsp sesame oil – 561 kcal

130g spicy roasted chickpeas – 150 kcal

Dinner:

Broiled portobello mushrooms (2) topped with veggies sauteed in 2 Tbsp olive oil — 100g fresh spinach, 60g sun dried tomatoes and 2 cloves minced garlic — seasoned with 15g pine nuts and crushed red pepper flakes to taste – 459 kcal  

Daily total:  1,689 kcal

The word of the day is most assuredly “spicy.” Rise and shine with a virgin margarita infused with veggie protein, fiber and satiating monounsaturated fat. Next up is a awe-inspiring Asian salad for lunch that will press all the right buttons on your taste buds. Then for dinner, chow down on some meaty portobello mushrooms topped with veggies and spicy flavor, this time from crushed red pepper flakes.
