Lately I've been feeling hypoglycemic. I think that's what it is. Prior to the vegan diet, when ever it had been a while since I'd eaten I would have an incredible craving for cheese and my body would start a small tremor. Sometimes I would just eat a dinner, but that craving didn't go away until I had a wedge. I'm getting the same feeling today. What do you do when pre-made vegan food is far too expensive for a single-income family, but you are going out of your mind getting the cheese-craving shakes if you don't eat something? Several weeks ago I resorted to cheese. I'm determined to keep myself in line today, since I'm still feeling the arthritic aches from the milk in that darn Halloween chocolate. Want to know what I ate? This is how incredibly simple vegan is:
Breakfast: Kashi Go-Lean w/ soymilk
Snack: watermelon (I got it for $0.10/lb! at our local market, hooray Arizona) & banana
Lunch: Spaghetti noodles w/ left over marinara sauce I made last night (silly me, forgot to buy more Prego for food storage and we had NONE, thank you nutritionmd.org for the recipe!)
Dessert: soy yogurt w/ applesauce
Snack: pinto beans w/ salsa and chips (my kids don't like salsa, they just eat the beans plain), apple, a "greens" vegan powder mix and water
Dinner? I'm thinking veggies with panko covered tofu, or maybe that will be a snack and I'll go to Chipotle and see if their vegetarian is truely vegan. Ah, food. Good thing it's all low-fat!
