Can we please have a 'What I ate today' thread, vegan style?

[LeftieLovegood]

I'll start!

B: bran sticks and oat milk, glass of OJ.
L: Hummus and tomato toastie.
D: Stir fry: pepper, courgette, onion, garlic, ginger, carrot and Quorn chicken-style pieces, noodles and lots of soy sauce. First time I've tried the chicken-style pieces; they were on offer. Nice and low cal/high protein, but nothing special in terms of taste.
Snacks: apple, banana, bombay mix.

B - banoffee nkd bar
L - sausage sandwiches with onions (sausages left over from last nights dinner)
D - Chana masala and onion rice from our local indian & chapatis
S - popcorn & apple

Baileys4two the cereal bars sound really nice.

They're really tasty and filling and don't actually take long to make. 20- 30 mins from start to finish

no breakfast

lunch - wholegrain pasta with carrot and courgette and basil paste

dinner will be pumpkin filled with quinoa, cauliflower, roasted almonds

This is what the cereal bar looks like

Today I've eaten:

Homemade bread, toasted with peanut butter for breakfast

Tonight's dinner is loaded nachos using quorn mince, homemade salsa, guacamole, soured cream and I'm going to finish off some vegan cheese slices that I bought on offer last week (90p!), which actually taste ok, especially melted.

The cheese is by Violife.

@Baileys4two they look lovely.
Today I've had
Beans on toast.
Minestrone soup.
Packet of prawn cocktail crisps.
Orange.
We have had what the kids call 'stuff in a bowl' - sweet potato wedges, quinoa, avocado, cherry toms, roasted chickpeas, roasted peppers and kale. Alpro caramel pot for dessert.

B- weetabix with almond milk
L- boots vegan all day breakfast sandwich (not bad!) and some fruit
D- crack chilli tofu rice bowl

B: overnight oats with berries
L: 2 satsumas, grapes, 1/2 carton of carrot and butternut soup, greggs sausage roll (no steak bakes in my local yet)
D: spicy peanut noodles with stir fry veg
S: 3 dates, chipsticks and salted cashews

jess stuff in a bowl sounds really good

I slept badly and couldn't face breakfast so ended up snacking all morning on unsalted crisps and biscuits. Not healthy! I did have some grapes.
L: Beanburger, pink pickled onions, salad
D: pasta with red pepper and almond "pesto", tenderstem broccoli tossed in olive oil, lemon, chilli flakes and lemon with toasted slivered almonds.
S: a few more biscuits. I'm not buying them next week.

I read the article in the Guardian about bee populations getting ill from mites after being hired out for pollination duties in US almond farms and now feel guilty about using almonds in my pesto.

B - pancakes bbc food recipe - soo good! We added frozen blueberries to the mix
L - minestrone soup
D - black bean and sweet potato chilli which I’m going to pop in the slow cooker this afternoon for a few hours
S - making some flapjacks & energy balls today so no doubt will sample some of those

@SapatSea thank you - they love it😁
@ForTheLoveOfCatFood do you have the recipe for the energy balls please?

Not healtho but have made rocky road chocolate brownies with the kids this morning. Waiting for them to cool down.

Today so far
Roasted cherry tomatoes on toast.
Cheese on crackers pickles and salad.
2 of the flapjack cookies from aldi.
Dinner later will be sloppy joe nachos and spicy potatoe wedges with hm guac. As requested by my Dd

Today has been

Slice of granary toast with flora and marmite when I got up

Vegan brunch of 1 shroomdog sausage, 1 hash brown, baked beans, mushrooms, spinach and roasted cherry tomatoes

Cafe Rouge vegan afternoon tea (which was very nice)

Currently don't feel I could eat any more today, but I might have something else later

Woke up too late for breakfast so had a brunch of alpro plain yoghurt, blueberries and a sprinkle of granola.

Dinner is roasted peppers filled with lentil chilli topped with a little grated violife! I've made a ranch style dip to go with them with alpro yoghurt, ground garlic, thinly sliced spring onion, parsley and salt and pepper.

@jess3817 It’s a deliciously Ella recipe. Says they keep for 7 days in an airtight container.

200g almonds (I used mixed nuts)
400g medjool dates
4 tablespoons raw cacao powder
2 ½ tablespoons almond butter (I used peanut butter)
2 tablespoons coconut oil

I tweaked the recipe as above based on what I had in the fridge

Method:
Begin by placing the almonds in the food processor and pulsing until they are nicely crushed.
Add the medjool dates and coconut oil and pulse until it’s fully mixed.
Add the almond butter and cacao and then mix again in the food processor.
Take a tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball. Continue doing this until the mixture has finished.
Place the rolled balls into the freezer for around 1 hour, then remove and store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Breakfast: Redwoods BLT

No lunch but had snacks with a friend who came over: edamame in pods, carrot batons, hummus, crisps etc

Dinner: is TV dinner stylee: Fry's hotdogs in rolls with onion, fries, corn on the cob

Didn't get round to posting yesterday but I had:

B: coconut yoghurt with frozen berries, oat bran and pumpkin seeds

S: carrot and houmous, cherries, dried mango

I also didn't post yesterday but had:

L: A mix of linguine and courgetti with leftover red pepper and almond pesto
S: packet of crisps
D: Chinese mushroom, onion and green pepper curry, rice.

B: Decaff Capuccino made with frothy oatly which was my first try at using an oat milk and it was okay but is pricey but it was nice having a "milky" coffee again. 1 biscuit and small bunch of grapes.

L: Out and about so had a "packed lunch" of apple, nuts and pannini filled with some griddled courgettes and toms and a bit of balsamic in the dressing

D: will be a lentil and veg shepherds pie if I'm not too knackered to make it or a Goodlife beanburger in a pitta if I am knackered.

B - porridge with raspberries & seeds
L - Quorn sausage roll, apple, fry’s orange creme bar
D - trying the viveria steak with garlic mushrooms, veg & sweet potato fries
S - popcorn, a few bojangels truffles and probably some ice cream later
