    Coffee with almond milk and a delicious piece of fruit is always good.

    Yes! become vegan and you will be saving countless animals a lot of suffering!

    I've been vegan for 16 years

    I normally have cereal with soy milk or strawberry jam on toast and tea, I have fruit as snacks so not for breakfast, although bananas are nice on cereal.

    54 oz of green smoothie! Every day! Then I eat fruit all day until 1ish and then switch to a small salad of veggies for a snack until dinner. Hmm, last night I had chock full of veggies chili with sprinkled daiya on top. Tonight, making roasted potatoes and egpplant. Tomorrow, making french toast with almond milk! :)

    There are SO many food options for Vegans! I was a good cook before, but my flavor combos are even better now! I am actually a vegetarian, but on the road to Vegan. I have cut out all dairy plain, but when out will have a muffin or something (eggs and milk I'm sure). But, it's only been 6 months, feeling good about it! Even have vegan shoes. Wel some of them! LOL

    Good luck!

    Typical day for me:

    Breakfast: Veggie burger.

    Lunch: Banana, salad.

    Dinner: mashed potatoes.

    Yeah, I'm lazy. Haha. Feel free to add me and check out my diary, though sometimes I don't know for sure what I'm eating for dinner so don't add that on until later in the day.

    When I was a vegan, I would sometimes mix it up and eat a "non-breakfast" food for breakfast. Sometimes I would have a Boca burger on a piece of toast with lettuce, tomato, and onion with a baked sweet potato on the side. Super filling, healthy, and complete with protein.

    Good luck! I loved being vegan, but due to some health stuff it became easier to go back to including fish, eggs, and cheese into my diet.

    I think you'll enjoy it, even if you only do it 6 out of 7 days a week or something like that. It is very emotionally rewarding as well as healthy, if you do it right!

    I usually eat a big bowl of oatmeal (old-fashioned Quaker or generic) with almond milk, with some peanut butter added! I like a big breakfast, so my bowl ends up being about 450 calories most days, but sometimes I cut it in half and it still keeps me pretty satisfied.

    Try Fiber One cereal, soy milk with a piece of fruit chopped up in it. Speaking of vegans, I just found this recipe for a vegan. I’m not one, but it sound’s yummy!

    Oatmeal with one date, some apple, walnuts, tablespoon hemp seeds, cinnamon. Pour boiling water over and cover with a plate for about 5 minutes. That's it! I have that most days, especially days I have class, and keeps me full while adding iron and fiber. Sometimes I have a kale and fruit smoothie, but not every day because I try to limit my sugars and the fruit in a smoothie plus if I eat fruit before a workout adds more sugar than I want, but it's an easy way to get a lot of nutrients in.

    I try to always eat as much protein in the am as possible... Like oats and almonds some fruit mixed in. Or a smoothie. Sometimes I bake something for the week and eat it, like whole wheat cinnamon rolls with blackberries. Check out www.peasandthankyou.com ... I live by that cookbook. It is easy, vegan, and non-processed.
