What I Eat in a Day – A Nourishing Vegan Lifestyle That Keeps Me Energized

Hey y’all! Today, I’m opening up my kitchen and walking you through everything I ate in a single day living this beautiful vegan lifestyle. Whether you’re fully plant-based or just curious, I hope this gives you some real inspiration for how vibrant and satisfying vegan eating can be.

This morning, I woke up feeling a little sluggish—one of those days where the cleaning list was long, but my hunger hit me first. So before tackling any chores, I made my way to the pantry (still a work in progress!) to whip up a quick bowl of hearty oatmeal. It’s my go-to comfort breakfast—simple, warming, and packed with nutrients.

For this creamy, sweet, and slightly salty bowl of goodness, I used:

• Rolled oats

• A pinch of sea salt

• A spoonful of brown sugar

• Oat milk

• A drizzle of maple syrup

• Fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries

• Sliced banana

• Chia seeds

• Sliced almonds

I used about half a cup of oats and one full cup of oat milk, cooked until perfectly creamy. Topped it with those gorgeous fruits and crunchy toppings, and y’all—it was heaven. The balance of flavors and textures? Spot on. And best of all, it kept me satisfied for hours. Sometimes the simplest meals really are the most nourishing.

I didn’t sit down to this bowl until about 12:10 PM, and I didn’t need a thing until almost 3 PM. That’s when I grabbed a few light snacks to keep me going before a meeting. I threw on a pink top (listen, it wasn’t giving style, but it was clean and it got the job done 😂), and grabbed:

• Traditional Nori Kim seaweed snacks (only 20 cals)

• Wasabi seaweed snacks (also 20 cals) for that spicy kick

• Two sweet mandarins, about 47 cals each

After the meeting wrapped, I was truly hungry. So I treated myself to one of my favorite easy, flavor-packed dishes: a loaded potato bowl topped with homemade guac and tons of fresh veggies. Here's what I used:

• Air-fried potato wedges (crispy and golden without oil!)

• Creamy avocado

• Diced tomatoes

• Sliced jalapeños

• Chopped red onion

• Cool cucumber

• Vegan mozzarella cheese

I layered everything over the hot wedges, and the result was a dreamy mix of crunchy, creamy, spicy, and savory. It filled me up, gave me energy, and tasted so good. I didn’t sit down to eat until 4:30 PM, and let me tell you—I was ready to eat by then!

Throughout the day, I kept my hydration game strong. By the time I finished my meal, I was already on my third 20-ounce bottle of water, and I planned to drink at least two more before bed. Staying hydrated is key for me, especially when eating a fiber-rich diet like this.

I love eating this way. Since going vegan, my sleep has improved, my energy is more stable, and I feel lighter—not just physically, but emotionally too. Everything I eat is plant-based, with the exception of some processed vegan items like cheese here and there. I’m big on learning about the health benefits of the foods I put into my body, and I encourage you to dig into that knowledge too.

By around 7:45 or 8:00 PM, I wasn’t particularly hungry, but I wanted a little something to wind down the day. So I had:

• Half a bar of 70% dark vegan chocolate (190 cals)—rich, indulgent, and perfect

• A small serving of popcorn (100 cals)—normally I make it fresh with nutritional yeast, but tonight I grabbed a pre-popped bag because my husband (bless his heart) accidentally gave away my popcorn kernels 😅

Now, let me be real: I don’t track calories. I don’t weigh my food or restrict myself. I listen to my body. A plant-based lifestyle lets me enjoy generous portions of veggies and whole foods without guilt, because they’re nutrient-dense, low in calories, and genuinely satisfying.

So that’s my full day of vegan eating! Hope it gave you ideas or maybe even a little motivation. Whether you're full-on vegan or just testing the waters, remember: you don’t have to be perfect. Just make each choice with care and curiosity.

Thanks for spending the day on my plate. 💚 See y’all next time!
