Veganuary Day 8

I had forgotten to mention my vitamin c supplements in previous posts. As my 'Feroglobin' isn't vegan I have stopped taking it but I continue to take my chewable vitamin c tablets as they are suitable but I would normally take them together. Unfortunately I haven't managed to find anything to replace the 'Feroglobin' during Veganuary as yet.

I had the same old 'Shredded wheat bitesize' for breakfast with tea and hobnobs. and Lunch was very similar to yesterdays, minus the apple but adding some orange. Someone at work bought in two big boxes of 'Crispy Kreme' doughnuts which I would normally be one of the first to dive into but did well to ignore. I hadn't really encountered any challenges until then.

Dinner was another quick and easy dish. I have had the braised tofu (from 'Holland & Barrett) before and think it's ok. I added it to a bed of mixed salad leaves and drizzled balsamic vinegar on it. I'm not entirely sure if I am getting enough nutrition from the meals I'm eating so I might do some more research over the weekend if I get time. I'd like to add more nuts and seeds to my diet either included in a meal or on it's own as a snack.

Veganuary Day 5

It's Monday and I'm not looking forward to my first full week back at work since Christmas. I started the day with a bowl of 'Shredded Wheat' bitesize and a cup of tea. When I went shopping yesterday I picked up a pot of houmous which I haven't had in a while and thought it would make a nice change to my lunch. I chopped up some carrot sticks and added some celery. The packet of dried apple crisps replaced ordinary crisps which I don't normally like eating a lot of, surprisingly on the back of the packet under allergens it says 'may contain milk' but I wasn't too bothered with that as I think they just add it as a precaution. I have noticed this on a lot of vegan products.

I got home after 7pm so I wanted to prepare something quick and easy so salad was a no brainer. I used mixed salad leaves and some Olive tofu chopped into cubes with a sprinkle of mixed seeds and a drizzle of olive oil. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

I hope I'm not boring you too much with these posts, I don't want to start sounding too samey. Please feel free to comment about any of the products I have used and I also welcome any recommendations.
