Vegan in Mumbai - What I Eat in a Day #1

Here is my first post on what i eat in a day. I follow plant-based diet but i don't restrict myself on the amount of calories. I control on the portion sizes depending upon how much i am feeling hungry. Being vegan in Mumbai is not that much difficult, you just have to stay away from dairy products.Lot of products are coincidentally vegan i will share them on my next post.

Breakfast

I have warm lemon water first thing in the morning. It detoxifies and removes toxins from the body and improves digestion(i had issues with this before).

For breakfast I am having Quaker Oats Tomato Veggie Surprise (Indian style). Once in a while i have this as it is perfect for on the go healthy breakfast oatmeal. Oatmeal have been proved in helping weight loss. Quaker's have lots of different flavours and come in small packs so you can have different every day. You can have it with water or in milk(for some flavours).





Lunch

For lunch i made Chickpeas and Spinach curry and brown rice. The recipe was from Joanna Soh's video. She post healthy meal plans and recipes in her youtube videos. I try to eat 1 cup of brown rice. I usually buy 24 Mantra organic or India Gate Brown Rice. Chickpeas are great source of protein which we vegans need the most. I usually have protein for lunch when it's easily digestible.





Snacks

I had 1 medium banana for snack. Bananas are great for pre/post workout snack. I also had Oreo Biscuits (thank god they are vegan).





Dinner

For Dinner i made Veggie noodles with carrots, spring onions, french beans and capsicum with soy sauce. I topped with ketchup. Super yummy!
