Here's a thread for those who have occasional vegan days or are vegan all the time.

A vegan's diet is different from a vegetarian diet. A vegetarian diet is a diet that includes no animal flesh (fishes, cows, pigs, rabbits, geese, gelatin etc.) but may include eggs, dairy products and honey.

A vegan is someone who uses/eats no animal products of any kind, such as dairy, flesh of all kinds, honey, eggs and so on, so if what you are eating today is free from animal products, please feel free to post!

Today:

2 servings seitan (wheat gluten) and oven fries

Soup of spinach, carrots, leeks, garlic, onions, shallots, cabbage, potatoes and spices (2 BIG bowls of this!)

1 sprouted grains english muffin and 1 tsp. coconut oil

2 cups Vitasoy Complete soymilk

2 cups Calcium-fortified orange juice with hemp protein powder

1/2 cup low fat soy ice cream

1 gallon of water

Hey, this will be cool to read!

Thanks, TBJ333...I hope others will be inspired to try a vegan day once in a while

Ok.

Here goes. I wasn't COMPLETELY vegan. I had one piece of taffy. Otherwise, I was completely.

For breakfast, an Odwalla nutrition bar.

For lunch, a "Natural High" sandwich from Erik's Deli (a local chain) that had whole wheat pita, sprouts, avocado, tomatoes and pickles.

For dinner, roasted eggplant, green and yellow peppers with green and yellow string beans. Also some seasoned potatoes.

Finally, I didn't drink as much water as I should have. I'm working on that one.

Oh yeah. Additionally, one large apple.

Mina, that's a veggie-rich day! Please post here everytime you have a vegan day

Awesome idea. =D

Yesterday:

Oatmeal with a banana

Vegan lasagna (Made it on Thursday night.. sooo good.) with a glass of Silk Soymilk.. vanilla flavored.

Veggie delight from subway, italian bread, no cheese, everything but jalepenos and onions.

Sour Patch Kids... whoops. Hehe.

Not enough water. =\

Oooh just found this!!!

Vegan chilli made with soy mince, carrots, kidney beans, onions, peppers (left over from last night)
Baked potato
Vegan oatmeal bar
2 tangerines
2 pints water
Fresh squeezed orange juice

1 1/2 cups oatmeal and soymilk with cherries

2 cups pineapple

1/2 cup gluten cooked with garlic, lemon and herbs

2 cups broccoli

1 cup chocolate soy milk

Salad with beets, mixed greens, carrots, onions and lemon garlic dressing

1 gallon water

Today was a crappy day because I got "stranded" and couldn't eat at home, hence the garlic knots I stayed within my calories but it was NOT a nutritious day at all.

Sprouted grains bread with coconut oil and 1 cup orange juice

6 cups salad (romaine lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sliced red onion, seeded and sliced cucumber, kalamata olives and a lemon garlic dressing)

5 small garlic knots (doughy bread )

Hemp protein powder, soymilk and mixed berries shake

1 gallon of water

I am not vegan but I just realized I had a vegan day. I am trying to limit my dairy intake due to allergies and husband was completely vegetarian for years and is working his way back to it.

Kashi cereal w/low fat vanilla soymilk

Salad-cherry tomatoes, red onions, chickpeas, black olives, mushrooms, cucmber, radishes, green pepper w/ olive oil & vinegar

snack of dry roasted peanuts

Boca burger-vegan variety with wild rice and spinach

Would you be willing to share your gluten recipie?--my hubby talks about his deceased grandmothers homemade gluten and how much he liked it

. . . but I want to play too!

breakfast: oatmeal, cashews, blood orange (wierd, but good), coffee (with Silk soy creamer)

lunch: boca burger with onions on w/w english muffin

dinner: baked potato with soy spread, broccoli, mestemacher whole grain bread (1 slice)

Lots and lots of h2o!

This was a "Sunday-whatever-is-on-hand" sort of menu day. I didn't eat the amount of protein, greens or fruit I normally try to consume daily.

But then, there is always tomorrow
