I adopted a vegan-based diet almost a year ago. The most common question I get is,”What do you eat?”

So here is the answer, a bite-by-bite account of what I ate over three days this week.

And then she posted her food diary online here >>

I was inspired, so now I’ll share my own food diary for the last few days:

Monday

  • Breakfast: Bowl of oatmeal sweetened with maple syrup. Coffee with hazelnut flavored soy creamer.

  1. I think it’s wonderful when vegans given non-vegans an idea of what they eat — these food diaries are very helpful! (And curiously really similar to my own…)
