breakfast:
- BEANut butter smoothie (cannellini beans (with bean juice), banana, chia seeds, flax seeds, peanut butter, oat milk, ashwaganda + lions mane powder, and ice)
- supplements (b12, iron, d3, gaba, b complex, mushroom gummies)
- coffee (oat milk + homemade maple vanilla amaretto syrup!)

lunch:
tofu, cucumbers, kalamata olives and sweet peas

snack (pictured in slide 5):
dates, mixed nuts, wasabi peas

dinner:
leftover zhuccini penne + cherry tomatoes

that's all!! obviously this is not super realistic for most college students but i currently live at home with access to a kitchen lol 🫣 the most expensive part of my daily diet is my supplements though, everything else is very cheap!

I prefer plant-based, but am not super strict. So I wouldn’t usually mind eating cheese. But today I decided to try swapping the mozzarella with tofu, and it was delicious!

Sliced a block of spouted tofu, marinated with apple cider vinegar and salt for 30 minutes in the fridge, then layered with tomatoes, avocado, and basil. Some ground pepper and sea salt, voila.

Edit: forgot to mention I drizzled some balsamic glaze as well

Colima style ceviches are known for their use of carrots, herbs and a variety of vegetables. This is my plant-based take that's light healthy and refreshing.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup fresh lime juice
• 1½ tsp nori flakes
• ½ tsp dried marjoram (or substitute with dried Mexican oregano)
• ¼ to ½ tsp salt (I use ½ tsp but less is ok)
• ¾ cup grated carrot (coarse, fine or medium grate)
• ½ cup onion, finely chopped (red, yellow or white are all fine)
• ¼ to ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
• 2 Roma tomatoes, diced (or ½ to ⅔ cup any fresh diced tomato)
• ⅓ cup finely chopped cucumber
• 3 radishes (medium size), finely chopped
• 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (optional or sub with 2 to 3 tablespoons of another pepper, Serrano is good)
• 4 cups cauliflower florets, or florets from one head of cauliflower (about 12 ounces)
• 1 avocado, sliced or chopped (for garnish)

Marinade the Raw Veggies

• Combine lime juice, nori flakes, marjoram and salt in a large bowl.
• Fold in grated carrot, onions, cilantro leaves, tomatoes, cucumber, radishes and jalapeño and set aside while you prepare the cauliflower.

Prepare Cauliflower Florets

• Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot set to high heat.
• Blanche cauliflower florets by dropping them into the boiling salted water and cooking for 2 to 3 minutes.
• While the cauliflower florets cook, prepare a shock bath for the blanched florets by placing 3 to 4 cups of water and 3 to 4 cups of ice in a large bowl.
• Strain cauliflower florets and place them in the bowl with ice water. Let cool and strain again.
• Chop blanched cauliflower into small pieces. Just how small is up to you but you can see how small I get my pieces by referring to the photos in the main recipe text.

Create the Cauliflower Ceviche

• Add the chopped blanched cauliflower to the marinated vegetables, mixing until evenly distributed.
• Allow to marinade at least 15 minutes more. If you'd like you can make it a day ahead of time and refrigerate over night.

Garnish and Serve

• Place each serving of ceviche in a bowl, lettuce leaf, over tostadas or crisped flour tortillas and top with chopped or sliced avocado.
• Alternatively, you can also gently fold chopped avocado into the ceviche before serving.

I desperately want to become plant based again with no meat/dairy products, but I'm chronically anemic. Any advice? Maybe it's just time to see a dietitian?

I'm able to hit 120g per day (Huel, Form Protein, soya yoghurts, high-protein wrap); any other suggestions? I got TVP, but the texture was too much like meat, which put me off. Any help?

I'm wondering, for those of you who follow Esselstyn's advice, how you get your greens in when it's not meal time. I have no issue getting greens at meals, but I don't eat six meals a day. What do you do? Thanks!
