I had a vegan day yesterday, but it wasn’t really planned. I’ve been eating a lot more vegetarian meals lately, which was apparent in my low grocery bill. I splurged on a little organic product, organic eggs, and organic yogurt, but still kept it cheap. Sweeeeet.
Now it’s time for the food! Breakfast began with 1 Kashi Crunchy Pumpkin Bar before my workout. I then had a small pear in my oats with walnut pieces and ground flax. Yummy!
Oat Love
For lunch, I’ve had a terrible whole grain wrap filled with mediocre peanut satay sauce, broccoli slaw, snow peas, and chickpeas. Seriously – these wraps are awful; they crack if you breathe on them the wrong way! Luckily, I also had a delicious orange. (I wanted to increase my Vitamin C a bit to avoid sickness. I’ve read that it does and it doesn’t help, but I figured it couldn’t hurt!)
Peeling it in one peel makes me happy.
Bad Wrap
I forgot to snap a picture of my snack, but you guys have seen 1/4 a bagel, an apple, and 14 almonds before, right? Thought so.
I had a beer as an appetizer. Kevin purchased these 2 beers over the weekend for a taste test. He preferred the Vienna Lager, which was nothing like the Ottakringer beers I had in Vienna earlier this year (though it might be similar to other Vienna lagers). I preferred the Bohemian Lager, though neither of us plan to purchase them again.
Lager v Lager
Dinner was my version of Heather’s Sloppy Tempeh Joes. They were good, but they were nothing like Manwich. Maybe I should have followed her recipe more closely, but then again, maybe next time I’ll just go for the good stuff. Bring on the can-O-sodium!
Beer, Sammich, n' Green Beans

*** I just realized that I didn’t check the ingredients on the beer and bagel. Those may or may not be vegan. I think they are, but as an eat-anything-etarian I’m no expert on this topic.***
