Adopting a vegan lifestyle for Jade Bell was a commitment to sustainability and compassion rather than only a health concern.
But balance is important, Jade says. You have to make sure your body is getting all the nutrition it need.
Jade’s basic vegan advice
Turn your attention to whole foods. “Stay to fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes,” she advises. “They fill you and are nutrient-dense.”
Use plant-based proteins. My basic foods include chickpeas, tofu, lentils, and quinoa.
Ahead of time, plan. To keep on target during hectic periods, Jade stocks lentils soups, vegetable stir-fries, and quinoa salads.
A Day in Vegan Jade’s Life
Breakfast calls for a smoothie created with frozen berries, almond milk, spinach, and a scoop of vegan protein powder.
Lunch is a rainbow Buddha bowl topped with roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, avocado, and tahini sauce. Dinner is vegan spaghetti Bolognese made with lentils rather than beef. Jade’s sensible approach demonstrates how fulfilling and nouraging a vegan diet can be.
