What up my beautiful people, welcome back to my channel, it's Keara!
Today I'm going to be making a video all about what I eat in a day as a vegan and
if you watched my life update I did say that I recently became vegan
I think maybe now it's 2 months ago
And I'm loving it and I also had a lot of questions from you guys asking how I stay healthy being vegan
so I figured I'd make this video for you guys!
This is like the first
"what I eat in a day" video I've made and I'm very excited.

I make sure I alternate what I eat every day, just so I don't get bored
But I narrowed it down to some of the fastest and easiest meals I make for myself.
Okay, I know this is super basic and everyone eats this for breakfast,
but I'm genuinely obsessed with avocado toast.
My favorite bread to buy is by Stonemill Slow Crafted bakehouse
It's vegan, of course, non-gmo and also high in protein as well
I try to buy all my groceries at my local health food grocery store where they have a lot of locally grown produce,
Toronto-owned brands and organic foods.
I'll spread some olive oil and homemade hot sauce over toast and then dice up my avocados.
From there, I'll press my diced avocados into the toast with a fork and
top it with salt, pepper and nutritional yeast.
And of course, I always have a coffee in the morning with my breakfast.
I like buying these organic coffee beans from Zavida
and then i'll grind them up and brew a coffee with a little bit of almond milk.
For lunch or after I work out,
I'll make a protein smoothie with plenty of greens and fruit and
I'll throw in whatever else I have in my fridge.
Lately, I've been using Care/of's delicious vanilla plant-based protein powder.
I've been using this protein powder ever since I became vegan
so I'm extra excited to say I've partnered up with Care/of to make this video possible!
Care/of is a super convenient subscription service that delivers your own personalized vitamins and
supplements right to your doorstep every month.
You'll take a super cute and fun
5-minute quiz that asks you all about your diet, health goals, and lifestyle choices
and then they'll curate vitamin and supplement recommendations specifically for you.
Whether you want a better night's sleep or more energy during the day, invest in some self care!
I recently started eating a plant-based diet
so I included that in my quiz and they gave me so many options for vegans like this
protein powder and these energy sticks that include vitamin b12.
The vitamin packets are also made with compostable
plant-based film so it's easy on the environment.
You can modify your subscription at any time or even skip a month. Up to you,
but I'd definitely check it out.

I also tend to snack a lot during the day.
I really like carrots and hummus, nuts or protein bars.
I'm a sucker for Clif bars, especially the ones that are filled with nut butter.
Oh my god...
For dinner, I usually cook up a veggie burger or a sausage in a bun.
I've tried tons of different veggie burgers and most of them are really good,
so I usually just like, alternate between different brands.
I'm in love with the Field Roast Company's Italian style sausages
They have eggplant, fennel, garlic and red pepper in them.
They're mostly wheat-based
so not great for my gluten-free folks, but they are tasty as heck!
And if I'm feeling extra hungry,
I'll cook up a side of pasta with my Nonna's homemade Italian red sauce recipe which I
obviously cannot reveal cuz it's secret
And then I'll probably forget to eat my greens, so I'll make a simple salad with olive oil, apple cider vinegar,
Himalayan salt and pepper.
That's my favourite way to eat salad.
And then later on,
I'm very likely going to make a bowl of popcorn because it's my favourite thing to eat, ever!
Plus, I like eating something when I watch Netflix.
I have an air popper
so I use that to make it and then I'll heat up some vegan butter and olive oil on the stove,
drizzle it over and top it with some more nutritional yeast and pink
Himalayan salt.
If I'm feeling a little rebellious that day,
I'll also use some black lava salt with activated charcoal that my mom bought from Hawaii.
Sounds boujiee, I know...
but, it kind of is so...
*laughs*
Eating plant-based is actually not as hard as people may think and
I don't really crave meat anymore since there are so many amazing meat substitutes.
Cheese may be a little bit harder to give up but I've always been lactose intolerant anyway
So I've gotten pretty used to finding good dairy-free cheeses made of soy or nuts.
So that is what I eat in a day as a vegan!
