Bacon. There. I said it.

I use a multivitamin effervescent. It's supposed to help me with migraines, but seeing as it also has 400% RDA of B12 in it, I am not complaining ;).

Let me introduce to you: http://veganyumyum.com/2008/02/hasperat/ Another delicious wrap is hummus, piri piri sauce, broken falafel balls, grated carrot, shredded raw red cabbage, grated cucumber (slightly drained from all the liquid), chopped red onion, fresh coriander, finely chopped cos lettuce and chopped tomato. So…

Maybe rather than starving yourself on 90 cents a day, you should try looking for a cheaper place to live. Rent is usually where most money goes to. I have had to do the same, because I am on minimum wage and I just couldn't afford proper nutrition with my old room's rent. Now I may not live quite as "luxurious", but at…

Wilkinsons has a few with separate containers.

Monday: vanilla protein drink, big bowl o' ready brek porridge, a banana, an apple and a pint of green tea. Tuesday: vanilla protein drink, soy yoghurt with chocolate chip mini Weetabix, two bananas, some grapes and a pint of green tea. Wednesday: vanilla protein drink, a bagel with vegan Nutella, a banana, an apple, some…

Get creative. Do push-ups in the grass, fill up a bucket with water and lift that. Do bench presses using the kids in your family as weights. Go into the woods to do pull ups on a sturdy tree branch. Climb onto that tree branch to do upside down hanging sit ups (can't remember what those are called). Grab a big and heavy…

Added marsgirlly and triger33 as friends as well :).

Hiya. I don't eat much processed food as well, because it gives me migraines. And my breakfast and lunch are usually raw. I just like to have a warm dinner at night. I do try to make sure I get enough protein, because I have previously found that I get a bit faint if I don't get enough protein. I don't have Facebook, I'm…

240 grams greek yoghurt 1 very ripe banana 150 grams of frozen forest fruits / berries In a blender. Seriously the most delicious breakfast you will ever have. It's like ice cream. I also always add two scoops of vanilla protein powder or vanilla slimfast, but only because I start work at 6am and my first break isn't until…

Veggie chilli 1/2 to 1 chilli pepper (however spicy you like it), chopped finely 1 brown onion, chopped 2 tins chopped tomatoes (800gr) 1 or 2 bell peppers (depends on size), chopped Cup of frozen peas Cup of frozen sweetcorn Tin of kidney beans (400gr), drained and rinsed Chilli powder Ground cumin Fresh coriander,…

I just make some extra dinner and bring the leftovers to work the next day to heat up in the microwave.

Chickpea tikka masala with pilau rice and green peas. A tiny piece of carrot cake and some blackberries for dessert.

250ml oat milk 30gr ready brek (smooth porridge oats) 2 very ripe bananas In a blender. The porridge in there makes it really nice and creamy and it fills you up really well. Having slightly overripe bananas makes for a nice and sweet milkshake without adding any sugar.

One toasted wholemeal bagel with almond butter. A banana and a huge orange. Green tea.

I cook three meals every Saturday. Two portions of each meal. I stick it in single serving containers and in the fridge and freezer. That's my dinners for an entire week. I get lunch at work and in the weekends for lunch I just mix up a simple salad with the veggies I have left over from meal prep. Breakfast is a simple…

Roast some mixed veggies in the oven (you can use those bags of frozen mixed vegetables for this). Spread a good layer of hummus on a wholegrain wrap (with maybe some Harissa paste, sundried tomato paste or olive tapenade). Put on the roasted veggies and if you like some lettuce or raw shredded cabbage. Roll it up and eat…

My fave veggie chilli: 1 brown onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic Some oil Half a red chilli pepper, chopped finely 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1 tin kidney beans (400gr), drained and rinsed 2 tins chopped tomatoes (800gr) One cup frozen sweetcorn Chilli powder Ground cumin Any other veggies you have lying around, like carrot,…

That Santa wasn't real. I now know better.

Has it occurred to them that it might be the other way around? That people became vegan/vegetarian because they were sick. At least that was the case with me and a lot of my veggie friends. I have several allergies and suffered from severe migraines. I did some research and tried things out and found that eating vegan…

My supper will be a vegan version of Dutch sauerkraut pie: Boil some potatoes. Add some vegan margarine, salt, pepper and oat milk to make mashed potatoes. Steam some sauerkraut until cooked, about 10 minutes. Chop some onion finely and slice mushrooms. Heat some vegan margarine in a pan. Cook the onion until soft. Add…

Add some protein to your smoothies, like protein powder, greek yoghurt or nut butter.

I am currently obsessed with homemade muesli. I make it in plastic bowls with lids on Sundays. I put in my muesli base (from Holland and Barrett in the UK. It has oats, jumbo oats, rye flakes, barley flakes and wheat flakes in it) and then I add some nuts and seeds. I like to use different nuts and seeds every day. This…

Campsite macaroni: Boil some macaroni in a pan. Drain and put the macaroni on a plate / in a bowl. Heat up some spam (chopped pork and ham) in the same pan. Add back the macaroni. Add some ketchup or a tin of chopped tomatoes. Heat through. Have a bag of green leaves with it for veggies.

A wholegrain wrap with hummus , grilled veggies (courgette/zucchini, aubergine/eggplant and bell pepper), shredded red cabbage and spinach. A bowl of stone cold watermelon and some pumpkin seeds. It was delicious :).

Breakfast: a porridge made from wholemeal flour (Brinta), milk and cinnamon Lunch: some wholemeal bread with butter and chocolate sprinkles Snack: an apple Dinner: boiled potatoes, boiled vegetables, gravy and a meatball or sausage. A bowl of custard for dessert. I come from the Netherlands. Most our food is the most basic…

Boil water. Leave it stand for about 5 minutes (it needs to be 80 degrees C). Pour into a glass with the tea. Leave to stand for 5-6 minutes. Remove the tea bag and drink up. Putting it in a glass instead of a mug or cup helps, because glass is thinner. This way you take in less air while drinking it, allowing you to taste…

Put one cup couscous in a bowl with a splash of olive oil, add one cup boiling water. Cover and leave to stand for ten minutes. It will steam until it is cooked and dry. Then loosen it up with a fork. I just use it in place of rice or I add it cold to a salad.

Fromage frais is very handy when you want to up your protein. 8g protein / 50kcal per 100gr. Barely any sugar or salt in it. It tastes like thick greek yoghurt.

Very easy butternut squash and carrot soup: 1 average sized butternut squash, chopped 500gr carrots, chopped 1,5 liter reduced salt vegetable broth (this soup tastes better with less salt IMO) 2 onions, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 tsp ground cumin 2 tbsp olive oil 1 bunch coriander, roughly chopped…
