14-Day Vegan Meal Plan: Day 6

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.

Today’s menu is bookended by two fabulously satisfying meals, not only in terms of calories but flavor and nutrition as well. Breakfast requires a little planning and preparation, and you can bet we’re going to have that amazing coconut buckwheat granola for a snack tomorrow! Lunch and dinner on the other hand are about as easy as can be. Leftover soup for lunch, fortified with a hunk of multigrain bread (try an artisan variety from your local bakery). Then a simple-yet-sumptuous dinner of garlicy potato gnocchi and veggies. So good.
