Q & A: What I Eat On a Typical Day

Hey, Family!

In 2012, one of the changes I’m looking forward to making is that I’ll be answering more of your questions on a regular basis in the weekly Ezine.

So feel free to email your questions to me at tracye@byanygreensnecessary.com, and I’ll answer them here for the benefit of all of our readers.

In the meantime, here’s a recent Q & A topic from a reader in Canada.

What I Eat On a Typical Day

Q: Hi Tracye

I was wondering if maybe you could do a blog post on what you eat in a day or a week. You look absolutely fabulous and I would like to find out what you eat exactly in a week or day to stay looking so good.

Take care,

R.

A: Hi, R. Thank you for the lovely compliment. (I got your email soon after my 45th birthday and it made my day!)

This is a question that I get asked quite often, so I’m happy to get an opportunity to discuss it.

When I work from home, I have the absolute pleasure of making each meal from scratch just before I eat it.

But for this question, I’ll focus on what I eat when when I’m working away from home and need to pack my lunch.

Here’s what a typical day might look like:

Early morning

• 2 cups of green drink made with dandelion greens and water in my Vitamix. My goal here is to flood my body with nutrients and to be sure I have an elimination before I leave the house.

Late morning

• bowl of oatmeal with a chopped apple, walnuts, and cinnamon that I packed in a thermos from home and added hot water to at the office.

Lunch

• big raw salad of kale, avocados, tomatoes, garlic, red onion, cashews, olive oil, nutritional yeast, cayenne, and Bragg Liquid Aminos

• spicy black bean burger (Sunshine Burger brand)

• sprouted whole grains tortilla (Food for Life brand)

• fresh berries or other fruit

 Late afternoon

• raw chocolate bar

Dinner

• big pan of sauteed collards with pine nuts, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic

• curry quinoa

• sliced oranges or persimmon smoothie (with just water, persimmon, and banana)

So that’s what I might eat on a typical day. For an idea of what I might eat in a week, check out the 7-day vegan menu on page 95 of By Any Greens Necessary.

Thanks, again, for a great question, R!

Family, be sure to send your questions to me at tracye@byanygreensnecesary.com. I look forward to getting them.

Have a great day and I’ll talk to you next week!

Vibrantly Yours,

Tracye
