What I Eat In A Week: Summer Edition

The number one question I get asked is, "What do I eat?"  I realize that most people are just looking for inspiration to get them started on their vegan way or ways to spice up what they are already doing.  So here's a glimpse of what I ate in one week, Healthy Hoff style.

I tend to change what I eat through the various seasons.  It's currently summer and I'm stripping my meals way back and keeping it very simple.  I also tend to eat the same things daily for breakfast and lunch throughout the work week.  It does not get boring and I actually find myself craving certain meals, so give it a go.  Keeping it simple is key to keeping it healthy.

My cooking technique of choice at the moment is steaming - predominately with the help of my latest toy...The Instant Pot.  I'm using it so much, I'm seriously considering getting a second, which I hear is very common in the IP community.

While I gave some measurements to give you perspective, I don't measure anything.  I just didn't want you thinking I was cramming a bag of baby carrots down or something...  And not listed, I drink about a gallon of water throughout the day - water is my beverage of choice. 

So this is what I eat Monday - Friday up until dinner:


Breakfast: 

Mid Morning Snack
  • 1 cup Baby Carrots
or
  • 1 pint fresh Blueberries

Lunch

Mid Afternoon Snack
  • 1-2 cups Cherries

After Work Snack
(I only have this if I'm working out, which typically means 30 minutes of tennis.)


  • 1 Gala Apple


Monday Dinner
After Dinner Snack

Tuesday Dinner

After Dinner Snack

Wednesday Dinner
After Dinner Snack

Thursday Dinner
After Dinner Snack

Friday Dinner
After Dinner Snack

Now on the weekends, I mix things up at little bit:

Saturday Breakfast
  • Three cups of water first thing!
  • Fresh Blended Orange Juice
  • Hashbrowns with Black Beans and Sauerkraut (I know this seems odd, but it eliminates the desire for Salt & since it's fermented offers a bit of probiotic goodness.)

Saturday Lunch

Saturday Dinner

Sunday Breakfast

Sunday Lunch

Sunday Dinner


That's what I ate in one week!  I hope it helped or inspired your vegan journey and remember the key to keeping it healthy is keeping it simple.

Keep it healthy!
