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.

We aren’t vegan but we have one day a week and ours was yesterday.

Smashed avocado and tomatoes on toast for DH & DS (I did do a poached egg for DS as well as he’s only 2 and would get hangry on just avocado toast).

Lunch was lentil bolognese - green lentils, onions, green peppers, carrots, celery, and all of the garlic in a herby tomato sauce with pasta.

Supper was a homemade curry with peppers, broccoli, green beans and potatoes in. I used coconut yogurt in the sauce.

Lefty not really! I was a standard sponge (vitalite and egg replacer) and I chucked in some blitzed plums. I didn't drain any juice off (I figured it could replace the water required for the egg replacer) so the cake was wet as hell. But still tasted nice with custard anyway!

I'd like to follow too, currently vegetarian. Which plant milk is most like cows milk? I love cow's milk but want to go vegan for ethical reasons.

Hiya, went I first went vegan, I tried lots of different milks, they're all different and guess we all have different tastes, so maybe try a few out?
But, to me soya milk -tescos one in the red carton, is the most like to me. When I have it in my tea, it's like what I remember normal tea tasting like ( but we did use to have skimmed milk )

Alpro soya milk tastes of marzipan to me 😂

I think oat milk is best in tea

Still
Recovering from bone graft so yesterday was lentil soup, chilli soup and coconut ice cream!

Coffee and almond milk
Crumpet, flora, marmite
Tarragon mushrooms on toast
Tomato soup and toast
Beans on toast

I don't usually have toast three times a day honestly!

Quite fancy some crumpets now :-D

Lots of water.

Yesterday was

B: oat milk cappuccino

Today:

B: oat milk cappuccino (I have this everyday)
L: leftovers from roast dinner the night before
D: BBC Good Food one pan spicy rice (I use fresh spinach instead of frozen) and some Jaffa cakes

PirateShip (love that song btw!) I am so sorry to hear about your bone graft! Sounds like you're getting some good flavours in even though you can't eat much... how long is recovery likely to be?

B: pumpkin, sunflower, chia and linseeds plus ground almonds with fruit and soya milk
L: red lentil and sundried tomato pate on lentil rice cakes with avocado
S: Vego fruit and nut, plus montezuma's dark choc buttons. I am a beast for chocolate. Also a huge satsuma and a plate of raw veg.
D: stir fry with tofu, carrot, broccoli and pepper
2 mugs of milky redbush tea with soya milk

LittleSweet I like sojade soya milk with calcium the best, but I've been drinking it for years and am totally used to it. There are so many different milks out there these days. A lot of people love oatly barista in hot drinks especially. I would advise trying lots of different kinds but definitely don't expect to love alpro as I think it's pretty bleugh.

B: granola with coconut yogurt, blueberries & agave syrup

L: rice cakes with beetroot & horseradish jam and violife shreds, then chopped mango & pinapple

D: homemade butternut squash soup with seeded carrot bread

Thanks @DamnItsSevenAM it’s so boring and slower than I thought it would be!
I am however happily living vicariously through this thread

Yesterday was an insipid shop bought Thai red curry butternut squash soup, homemade smoothie “bowl” (so thick I could eat it with a spoon) of mango, almond milk, mixed nut butter and spinach and mashed potato and hummus for dinner

Today:
B: mango, matcha, spinach, almond butter, almond milk, avocado smoothie bowl
L: mashed potato and hummus and pesto
D: mushroom soup (home made this time, now I’ve got some energy to cook)

Am working weds-Fri to making bulk soups to carry me through until the weekend. I imagine every day this week to look like the above!

PirateShip I'm impressed by your creativity! A friend of mine regularly has to live on purees as she has EDS and often dislocates her jaw. She was thinking about writing a cookery book for pureed food and I thought it was a brilliant idea.

I love smoothies so let me know if you want any recommendations. My current favourite is soya milk, pineapple and spinach, and I add all kinds of extras (ground linseed, ground almonds, ground chia, protein powder, molasses) to pack in the nutrients. This morning's was 30g protein which I was pretty happy with!

That’s awesome, I love smoothies too but aren’t allowed my favourite which is frozen banana, cold coffee, dates and almond butter!!

We make smoothies and turn them into ice lollies all the time here to get more nutrients into fussy DD

As well as being intolerant of quorn, onion and cauliflower, I realised yesterday that I'm allergic to soya. So itchy, stomach pain and sneezing. I'm also intolerant of a lot of fibre, so have to be sparing with lentils. I read that I could also be allergic to other legumes. So I'd rather use them sparingly. Green beans and runner beans plants give me hives when they touch my skin. I'm also allergic to pineapple and vanilla.
Is there a way to be vegan?
