First couple weeks vegan-What I eat on a typical day

My first couple of weeks as a vegan were not as bad as I thought. After doing a lot of research and looking up vegan recipes that actually sounded really good, I became a lot more confident in what lifestyle I had chosen for the rest of my life. I found restaurants that offer vegan options including a pizza place that offers a vegan pizza! I have yet to try it but I am pretty excited about it!
I have found myself eating a lot more fruits and veggies instead of junk food. All in all I feel a lot more healthy. I have not needed caffeine or even an after work nap! I have already gotten told 3 times that my skin looks really good! And I've been told I already look like a vegan....asking what that was suppose to mean...apparently I look skinnier :)
THIS IS WHAT MY DAILY MEALS TYPICALLY CONSIST OF:
(keeping in mind I work 5am to 1pm)
For breakfast :
 I eat an organic banana and a glass of almond milk.
For snack:
I'm finding more options to eat on my break at work. Everyday at work on break I eat an organic raw revolution bar. My favorite is chocolate coconut bliss. ...tastes like an almond joy! I buy two organic dates from the bulk organic produce section and then I will have a bottle of water or an organic raw kombucha tea. The kombucha I have about twice a week since it is kind of pricey to drink daily. That all gives me enough energy to last the rest of my work shift.
For lunch:
  As soon as I get home I eat another banana and then I make a salad using half organic spring salad mix and half organic spinach. I add an assortment of nuts and dried cranberries . I top it off with a tablespoon of organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar and I add a dressing...preferably raspberry vinaigrette or I recently bought Annie's Naturals organic papaya poppy seed dressing. Yum!
For snack:
I'm always hungry again before dinner so I will snack on some fruit...most likely organic. An apple ...favorite is honey crisp, an orange, pear, watermelon....etc. I really want to start branching out and try some new fruits. I tried a persimmon for the first time! It looks like a tomato. Does not taste like one though.
For dinner:
I am obsessed with spaghetti! Always have been! But I usually put cheese on it. Looks like I can't do that anymore! I add lots of veggies to it! As I'm boiling the noodles( organic whole wheat ) and heating up the sauce(usually just a jar of organic spaghetti sauce), I saute in a separate pan a whole bunch of veggies. I use organic coconut oil-the only oil that stays in it's own state and does not turn into a trans fat when heated-red, green, yellow ,and orange peppers, mushrooms, asparagus, spinach, cherry tomatoes cut in half ( I love the yellow ones!)and I've been thinking about adding artichokes once I buy some. I add some seasonings that are suppose to benefit your health like:

• Oregano: helps digestion and soothes stomach muscles, fights infection and high in minerals like calcium , potassium and manganese.
• Rosemary- antioxidant, anti-asthma, anti-depressant,anti-inflammatory,anti-viral,improves blood flow ,energizes the mind, calming effects by working against fatigue,sadness, anxiety,
• Cayenne pepper(not too much though because I don't like it too spicy): controls blood sugar, prevents formation of fungal pathogens,excellent agent against tooth and gum disease, cancer fighter
• Turmeric( sounds weird but it is tasteless in the spaghetti):may stop cancer from spreading,help prevent type 2 diabetes , natural pain killer, detox the body,skin tonic, anti-inflammatory, natural antibiotic, improves digestion, helps coughs, improves asthma, helps prevent gas/bloating, lowers cholesterol, improves skin conditions(psoriasis, eczema,etc), prevents progression of Alzheimer's, aids in fat metabolism, reduces side effects of chemotherapy, anti arthritic, blood purifier
• Garlic: detoxifies,cancer fighter, boost immune system, anti-infection,manage blood pressure and cholesterol levels,powerful natural antibiotic,antioxidant
• Basil:relieve gas an soothe stomach upsets,disease preventing,anti-bacterial,anti-inflammatory,protect against age related disease,helps maintain healthy mucus membranes and skin, bone strengthening,

Then I pile all this yummy goodness on top of my noodles and sauce! I wash it down with a glass of half water and half pure cranberry juice with freshly squeezed lemon ! I hope to start a herb garden once summer comes! I'm really excited to start experimenting!
That Is a typical day of eating for me! It is all very satisfying and I don't have my usual cravings for junk food ! When you start to eat and feel healthier ...you not only look it but it gets more motivating to keep on going!
