I don't know about anyone else but I have eaten like a horse for the past 3 weeks! My mindset was, it's Easter soon so what's the point... But now I can tell I have indulged & need to get back on track.
I generally enjoy eating healthily but have trouble snacking so have bought myself some Nakd bars & nuts to nibble on while in the office.
As some of you may know, I am a transitioning vegan. I have been vegetarian all of my life & having learnt more about the treatment of animals in the dairy industry recently, I have decided veganism is the way forward.
So this afternoon, I had some time on my hands so had a nosey through some vegan packed lunch recipes on the fabulous Pinterest! I found something called a 'Buddha bowl' which is basically a salad but it must include a kind of whole grain too.
This evening I set about making my own Buddha bowl for my lunch for work tomorrow.
It looks pretty good even if I do say so myself! I chose cous cous as my grain item & combined it with a baked sweet potato seasoned with thyme, a handful of green salad & a handful of steamed curly Kale. I also threw in some Quorn Chicken.
Vegans out there will know that Quorn unfortunately is not vegan as it contains egg. But so far, I have only managed to cut out the whole foods of the dairy group & will admit to still eating chocolate & Quorn. I am told all Quorn products from September will be vegan- so I cannot wait for that!
My next step is to cut out Quorn & replace with the vegan options now readily available at supermarkets. Not only is veganism an animal friendly diet, it is also a very healthy one so helps keep the waistline trim too!
I can't wait to tuck into my Buddha bowl tomorrow :-)
Have a good week guys,
Saffron
