What I eat in a week as a vegan

Posted on January 14, 2019June 30, 2022

I am really trying to make this blog more personal, because I think it is easier to relate to and I love reading more personal things about other bloggers myself. Also, I get a lot of questions about myself. ‘How do you do this?’ or ‘What do you do there?’ and so I think this blogpost will answer one of those questions. This question is ‘But, what do you eat?’ since I am vegan. Here’s what I eat in a week as a vegan.

Vegan

I’ve stopped eating meat about three years ago. After that, I realized that that wasn’t just right for me just yet. About 1,5 years ago I went vegan, because I felt like that was the best thing to do. In some of my blogposts you can read why I am again the consumption of animal products, like this one, this one and this one.

But, that’s not what this blogpost is about. This blogpost is about how that choice is translated into my daily life. It’s not spectacular, but you know, I thought it might be fun to share it. So here it is: what I eat in a week as a vegan.

Saturday

Breakfast: Three kaiser rolls with vegan filet American. 
Lunch: A vegan ‘grilled cheese’ sandwich, with mustard, mayonaise, soy cream, cumin and noble yeast flakes.
Dinner: Potatoes slices out of the oven, with thyme and rosemary, with some curry sauce and vegan mayonaise.
Snack: a cup of paprika potato chips.

Sunday

Breakfast: Two crackers with muhammara hummus.
Lunch: Two vegan pancakes with raisins and agave syrup.
Snacks at a birthday: some cucumber, potato chips, paprika and cashew nuts.
Dinner: Gazpacho soup with a slice of bread and another vegan ‘grilled cheese’ sandwich.

Monday

Breakfast: Two crackers with peanut butter and cucumber and a pickle (I eat pickles at very random times, I know).
Brunch: A smoothie made from kale, banana, a kiwi, lemon juice and acaï powder.
Lunch: Two ‘grilled cheese’ sandwiches with ketchup.
Dinner: Two slices of bread with some veggies and a portobello and sweet potato fries out of the oven.

Tuesday

Breakfast: Three rusks with peanut butter and muhammara hummus.
Lunch: A pot of asperges, kidneybeans and some corn snacks.
Snack: a hand full of nuts.
Dinner: Rice with mushrooms, haricot verts and a bean sauce.

Conclusion

I did this a while ago too, you can read that week here. If I compare it my conclusion would be that I eat less highly processed food, so that’s good. But, this week was a week with a lot of potatoes (and carbs in general), twice in one week. I could do better I think, healthier. But, I am pretty content. I don’t do most of the groceries since I live with my parents, so just eat what’s there. I am really excited to do this in a few years, when I live by myself. Then it will be all on me. But, for now, I want to eat more veggies, fruits and nuts, so that’s a goal for now.

Also, this diary is not entirely vegan. On Friday I ate a bun and vegetarian ‘chicken’ filets. Both were not vegan, but vegetarian. I ate it at the Food Bank, the lady there knows I don’t eat meat, but the whole concept of ‘vegan’ wasn’t clear yet, I had a hard time explaining it somehow. But, she made a lot of effort for the vegetarian things and the bun, so I ate it. This is quite extraordinary. I am content though! I didn’t always talk about the drinks, but I drink mostly water.

Yours sincerely,
Romee

Ik ga dit jaar weer de challenge aan om de winter door te komen zonder de warming aan te zetten. Hiervoor ging mijn essential, een warmwaterkruik 💦, kapot. In deze reel laat ik je zien hoe ik een ‘nieuwe’ tweedehands kruik kocht. Vandaag te lezen op whenateengoesgreen.com: een inspirerende documentary over Greta Thunberg: I am Greta. Een documentaire over hoop, maar vooral over doorzettingsvermogen 🔥. Lees het nu via de link in mijn bio. Meer vegan producten in de schappen, yay! Gisteren probeerde ik voor het eerst de vegan lentil tikki masala saus van Patak’s 🧑🏼‍🍳. Zie in deze reel wat ik ervan vond. Vandaag verscheen er een nieuw artikel op mijn blog over: 5 dingen die ik niet koop. Want we denken vaak dat we dingen écht nodig hebben, maar vaak is dat niet zo 🧠. Check het artikel via de link in miijn bio. Vorige week verscheen er een artikel op mijn blog over alles wat ik nieuw kocht in 2022. Dat is een groot deel van mijn negatieve impact. Deze week was het tijd om te kijken naar de andere kant van de medaille. Vandaag lees je op mijn blog een artikel over al mijn positive impact in 2022 🌞. Je vind de link naar het artikel in de link in mijn bio. Afgelopen week verscheen er op mijn blog een artikel over alles wat ik nieuw heb gekocht in 2022. Eén ding op de lijst waren deze onderbroeken (een stuk of 20). En nu denk je misschien: waarom zou je in één keer zoveel onderbroeken kopen? Op 31 december, nog net op de valreep in 2022, kwam er een video online op mijn Youtube-kanaal over voedselcoöperaties. Ik denk namelijk dat voedselcoöperaties ons voedselsysteem democratischer en eerlijker kunnen maken 🥦. Elk jaar stel ik mezelf als doel om geen nieuwe spullen te kopen. Er is weer een jaar voorbij, dus het was tijd om te evalueren. Is het me gelukt om in 2022 geen nieuwe spullen te kopen? 🛒 Je leest het vandaag op m’n blog. Ook tijdens het gourmetten kan je heel makkelijk vegan eten 🌱. Zie hier wat ik at als vegan op de tweede kerstdag 🎄. Gourmetten is een topoplossing als je niet uren in de keuken wilt staan. Lekkere snacks kopen, even snijden en alles neerzetten en bakken maar!
