Describe a balanced one-day menu. Make sure that it meets the daily requirements for the five food groups.

I'm vegan and this is what I typically eat in a day!

Explanation:

Breakfast - Oatmeal with berries, soy milk, and nuts

Grains: Oats are gluten free, whole grain, and contain many important vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants.

Fruits/vegetables: Berries are chock full of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants

Dairy & alternatives: Soy milk is a good alternative to dairy as it is high in protein and omega 3 fatty acids

Proteins: Nuts such as almonds, cashews, and walnuts are a good source of plant based protein

Lunch - Chickpea pasta with green peas and leeks sauce + side of frut

Grains/legumes and proteins: Chickpeas are an excellent legume to eat. They are high in protein, fiber, and vitamins/minerals. Chickpea pasta is a healthier alternative to regular white flour pasta.

Vegetables: Green peas, broccoli, spinach, and leeks are rich in vitamins and minerals like calcium.

Dairy & alternatives: Soy cooking cream to make the sauce creammyyy

Fruits: Oranges are so refreshing and sweet so I typically eat oranges. The vitamin C content also helps you to absorb the iron from the vegetables.

Dinner - Lentil curry with vegetables and brown rice

Grains: Brown rice is a good alternative to white rice, which is more refined and starchy. Brown rice also has more nutrients and fiber.

Vegetables: Cauliflower, sweet potato, tomatoes

Dairy & alternatives: Coconut milk

Proteins: Lentils are very high in protein and iron

Dessert - Chocolate peanut butter oatmeal blondies

*this is dessert so obviously it isn't the healthiest, but I think that to have balance, you should allow yourself to eat a treat!

Grains: Oatmeal - I love oatmeal so i eat it a lot

Fruit: I typically eat these with berries like raspberries

Dairy & alternatives: Plant based milk

Proteins: Peanut butter  

Hope this helps! Best of luck <3
