The first week of veganism was definitely tough because I wasn’t too sure what I was able to eat. For the most part, my meals during the day were very simple. Breakfast is a routine PBJ sandwich with almond or soy milk.

Lunch and dinner were mainly comprised of salads with different vinaigrettes. Between meals, I snacked on fruits such as apples, oranges and bananas. I also relied on CLIF bars to get me through the day. Two of the nights, I made stir-fry. I’m definitely getting a better hang of what I am able to eat and creatively exploring vegan options. I am excited to see more diversity in my diet in my second week.
