so today I'm back with some more tasty
vegan delights but I'm switching it up a
little bit because I usually do what I
eat in a day videos this time I thought
I would expand it and give you guys a
full week's worth of my meals the good
thing about it is that all of these
meals that you're gonna see they're
really simple they're easy to follow
they're not complicated at all and a lot
of them are very quick so if you are a
beginner or you're not that well-versed
in the kitchen you should still be able
to make all the meals that I do but yeah
that's what we're getting into hope you
all enjoy and let's go ahead and jump to
the video we're starting off on Sunday
and for breakfast I had some jazzed up
kind of southern style grits I just
threw them right into a small pot and I
used vegetable broth instead of water so
it turns out super flavorful gonna
let cook until it thickens up like that
and then I added in some of this vegan
butter and some nutritional yeast flakes
which is gonna give it a cheesy vibe
season with a little salt and pepper
now while the grits are cooking I made
my veggie topping I got spinach and
sliced mushrooms added a little water to
keep the pan from being dry and I tossed
that until it was all soft and tender
and then my secret weapon cajun
seasoning I sprinkled some of that right
in and that's basically all I had to do
with the veggies ridiculously easy pile
the veggies right on top of the grits
and I finished it off with a little more
nutritional yeast and look at this I
mean do I even need to tell you how
tasty this was really really good to
drink I had some water with lime and
water is my main beverage with my meals
so unless otherwise stated this is what
I'm having when lunchtime I rolled
around I really wasn't that hungry I was
just feeling a little peckerish so I
peeled a couple mandarin oranges and I
used this dressing as a dip for some
celery sticks dinnertime I had a black
bean burger this is homemade I usually
always have these on hand I make a bunch
at a time and then I store them in my
freezer so I can have
one whenever I get a hankering these are
so convenient I just pop them onto
my little grill for a few minutes and to
go with the burger I decided on carrots
and broccoli
I added some salt and pepper and sauteed
them in a little vegan butter and by the
time I was done with that my burger is
ready so I topped that with some vegan
mayonnaise dill relish and ketchup and
mustard for an after-dinner snack I had
edamame and this is another thing I like
to always have a stash of super quick to
just pop it to the microwave but what I
recently discovered is that edamame
tossed in this spicy sauce is like
absolutely heaven on earth I am
seriously addicted to it and I think
this at least once a week sprinkle some
toasted sesame seeds on top BAM Monday I
had my go-to breakfast scramble I used
extra firm tofu the only tofu texture I
get crumbled that up into a greased
skillet and I added some minced garlic
mushrooms diced bell pepper diced red
onion and fresh spinach and I'm gonna
toss that until it's well mixed and the
tofu starts to really firm up then I
added some turmeric and salt and pepper
I put some sliced avocado on top because
it really takes the scramble to the next
level I always love avocado on my
scramble and I served it with toasted
wheat bread around lunchtime I was out
running errands and I knew I wasn't
gonna feel like making anything when I
got back so I stopped at Panera Bread
and I ordered a modern Greek salad
without feta cheese to make it vegan
friendly they forgot my chips and I
didn't realize it until I got home I was
kind of upset about that but anyway I
grabbed some crackers from my pantry and
I didn't use their dressing I used my
vegan ranch dinner time I decided to
try something new this had been sitting
in my freezer for the longest time I
actually didn't buy this though it's not
something I would normally go for since
I'm not a huge fan of a lot of fauxl meat
but I didn't want to waste it so I just
picked off all of the sausage pieces to
make it more on my speed I could deal
with the meatless pepperoni but the
sausage it was just too much for me and
it actually
wasn't bad it did need a little flavor
boost in my opinion so I'll put some hot
sauce on it and I had some steamed
broccoli on the side gotta get my greens
in and then for snack I wanted something
fresh and light so I cut up some
pineapple and I had that the next day I
started it off with an old trusty
avocado toast it's quick it's filling
it's perfect
so I spread my avocado onto my toasted
wheat bread put some sliced cherry
tomatoes on top it sprinkle with salt
and pepper
a squeeze of fresh lime juice then
finish it off with some red chili flakes
and along with my toast I had some of
this tea which I brewed the night before
I don't let my tea super sweet so I
added just a tiny bit of sugar to this
and then to my iced tea I added some oat
milk and it was all extremely refreshing
midday we're going with Buffalo
cauliflower bites I chopped up almost
half a head of cauliflower into these
bite-sized pieces and I'm going to bread
them so I mixed up some all-purpose
flour garlic powder onion powder pepper
and water together to make a batter
through the cauliflower pieces in and
toss to coat
place it on a parchment-lined sheet and
I baked it for about 35 minutes while my
cauliflower was baking I prepared my
buffalo sauce mixed some of
this with a little maple syrup to add a
hint of sweetness put the baked
cauliflower in give it a good mix and
I'm using my trusty ranch dressing to
dip my Buffalo bites and celery in and I
kicked it up a notch with some red chili
flakes and lunch was awesome dinner was
really simple I just had some of the
leftover pizza from the night before but
I wanted something sweet as well so I
decided to make a peanut butter
chocolate shake to go with it for that I
used banana peanut butter a little bit
of coconut sugar just a little and some
of this for chocolaty goodness
round it off with ice cubes and almond
milk and blend it until smooth and the
shake turned out to be everything I ever
wanted and it went really well with the
pizza so I was super satisfied and very
full after this so that's all I had on
Tuesday Wednesday I busted out the oats
always a solid breakfast choice I put
some into a pot added some water and
mixed until it thickened flavor the oats
with some vegan butter cinnamon and a
smidge of brown sugar now once my oats
were done I sprinkled with chia seeds
for a boost of extra nutrition chopped
walnuts for a nice crunchy contrast
fresh strawberries and unsweetened
coconut flakes now my lunch for that day
was kind of thrown together I don't know
where I had a hankering for black bean
soup but since I didn't plan for it I
didn't have my usual go-to items so I
just pulled out some ingredients that I
did have and I hoped it would work into
my pot went the black beans pasta sauce
the cauliflower blend leftover kale that
I made for the fam the day before then
thinned it out with water to make it a little
more soupy seasoned with garlic powder
and Cajun seasoning and this literally
took less than five minutes because all
you have to do is heat it up then I put
some sliced avocado on top along with a
few crushed crackers and I have to say I
was pleasantly
as that my struggle soup actually turned
out to be hella bomb later on in the day
I whipped up some pasta after I had my
noodles going I went ahead and made at
the sauce and for that I used raw
cashews nutritional yeast mustard which
gives it a nice zing paprika onion
powder garlic powder and some water then
I blended that all up and poured that
into the cooked noodles which had been
drained I'm gonna load that up with
fresh spinach diced red onion and
sun-dried tomatoes so good and as it
heats the sauce thickens up really
nicely and becomes super creamy add in
some pepper and Cajun seasoning and
dinner is done when I make this I always
like to dust some more Cajun seasoning
on top and this to me is like the best
pasta ever I literally could eat a whole
pot in one sitting if I don't watch myself
snack of the day I went with these chips
this was actually the first time that I
tried them and I was blown away by how
good they were only lasted one day in my
house and I was kind of sad when I went
to go get some more and they were gone
so now I know when I buy them again I'm
gonna have to hide them thursday
morning I had a cinnamon raisin English
muffin I popped that into the toaster
then spread on some vegan butter I also
cut up some strawberries to go along
with this and then I really wanted a hot
drink so I went with my go-to tea added
a little sugar in the raw hot water and
I always add milk to my tea and this
go-round I'm using oat milk for lunch today
I kept it really light and uncomplicated
I wanted to eat this hummus I picked up
so I use that as a dip for some crackers
and fresh veggies honestly though I had
higher hopes for it the hummus was just
okay probably not something I would buy
again and then for dinner I made one of
my go-to meals which you guys have seen
me make before I'm using my favorite
spicy sauce drizzled that over
cubed extra firm tofu toss it and then
put that onto a baking sheet to go in
the oven for about 20 minutes then I had
some fresh broccoli which I tossed in
olive oil after the 20 minutes add
broccoli to that same baking sheet which
goes back into the oven for another
fifteen minutes or so and while that's
going I made my rice I have a boil in a bag
easy peazy toss the finished
broccoli and tofu with more spicy sauce
plate it up with the rice and a sprinkle
of sesame seeds and this dish is so easy
to make but it has so much flavor I
can't tell you guys enough how much I
absolutely love this combination later
on in the day a little before bed snack
I had some salsa and tortilla chips this
is another thing that never lasts long in
my house Friday I'm having oatmeal again
such a great fall back and really
filling I pretty much started out the
same way every time and then just switch
up the toppings today I'm just
sprinkling on more cinnamon some
strawberries and chia seeds and then my
lunch is something I'm really excited to
show you guys I'm having this crazy
delicious cauliflower sandwich so for
the breading I used a whole wheat flour
and I only use this because I ran out of
all purpose but the end result turned
out to be a smash so I'll definitely use
it again I added onion powder garlic
powder pepper water and hot sauce then I
placed my cauliflower steak in to get it
fully coated in that batter and by the
way I really didn't mean to cut this
piece so thick that's just how it
happened so my sandwich ended up kind of
looking like a mondo sandwich but anyway
I stuck that into the oven until it was
crispy on both sides and then I mixed
together some vegan mayonnaise and more
hot sauce and I'm gonna use that to coat
my crispy cauliflower that went back in the oven for
another for another minute or two and
then I put it on my bun I got some
sliced avocado on there some dill relish
and along with that I had some sauteed
green beans and man oh man when I tell
you this thing which was divine I'm
not even exaggerating you can see even
the dog wanted a piece I had to be on
guard when I ate this veggie plate was
on the menu for dinner
I started it off by preparing my
Hasselback potatoes and a little tip if
you place chopsticks on both sides of
the potato you get perfect cuts that
don't go all the way through next up
poured on some olive oil and massage it
in
sprinkle on salt and pepper and bake for
about an hour until it's golden and
crispy like this I also had some baby
carrots which I sauteed in vegan butter
until they started to brown and soften
salt and pepper as well as a
drizzle of maple syrup which just makes
them taste out-of-this-world
veggie plate is done I added some
steamed broccoli and corn on the cob and
it was all super super delicious which
brings us to Saturday I decided to go
with a protein smoothie I used some of
this frozen fruit blend half a banana my
favorite super greens protein powder and
some coconut and mango water didn't
quite come out looking very appealing
but it did taste really good lunch time
I was in the mood for a scramble so
that's exactly what I made I got my tofu
spinach red pepper and onion seasoned
with tumeric salt and pepper and along
with that I had half of a cinnamon
raisin English muffin for my last meal
of the day I cracked open another of my
black bean burgers this time I used a
vegan mayo barbecue sauce and dill
relish on it so tasty I also had a steam
bag of brussel sprouts which I tossed
with salt pepper and mustard absolutely
love mustard on my Brussels sprouts if
you haven't tried it definitely do red
chili flakes for a kick and tada
super fast and filling dinner a little
while after dinner we had movie night so
I popped some popcorn in my air popper I
love this little thing it gets so much
use now with my popcorn I like to first
mist it with olive oil then add some
salt and nutritional yeast give it a
nice shake and then do it again so all
the popcorn is covered in flavor and it
comes out of amazing so yeah guys that
