How do I fuel my day?

Written By Kim Joy

I start my day with a cup of Mushroom Hot Drink (Mega Mushroom Powder) with dash of coconut sugar and a splash of almond milk. I either have homemade vegan yogurt with granola or overnight oats with fresh blueberries.

I gave up coffee over 3 years ago. I became a vegan in 2019, I was a pescatarian for years before that.

Overnight Oats with Fresh Blueberries

Lunch is almost always a salad! I am a creature of habit and salads are just so easy and can include losts of yummies.

Not a big sandwich fan. Though I will have vegan scrambled eggs and vegan bacon fro time to time for lunch because I love them also.

Salad with leftovers from dinner last night- cleaning the fridge out! But super yummy!

Dinner is the big meal of the day, I usually eat around 4-4:30 pm because I have to leave home at 5:30 to go teach. Sometimes I make a pot of Cuban Black Bean Soup or Vegan Fried Rice with Veggies and Tofu to last a few days.

Shells with mushrooms and spinach with Vegan Feta Sauce- a favorite!

What do I drink during the day? Water with electrolytes, water with lemon, sparkling water with flavors. When I teach at the colleges I might take a cola for the sugar boost but I could very easily drink too many in a day so I use it was a weekly treat :( I do need to break this habit.

How do you fuel your day? It is interesting to hear about peoples food habits.

Eat well and live long!
