Day 1 of the daily vegan meal plan is the first blog article part of a series where I will be sharing 1 days worth of vegan eating. This includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Let's dive straight into it!
The meals form part of an overall meal plan of 1700 calories daily. I also use protein powder everyday. If you don't want to use protein powder, you can swap out the same amount of protein powder for rolled oats instead.
