Here’s another ‘What I Ate in a Day’ video where I shared another batch of delicious and easy to make recipes! I also let you know the supplements I’ve been taking as a vegan. Head over to the video below to watch and don’t forget to scroll down for the written recipes!

Okay, guys! It’s time for another What I Ate in a Day video where I show you what I typically eat in a day as a vegan. Maybe “typical” isn’t the right word because I don’t usually repeat the exact same meals – I like to switch things up ever-so-slightly. I wanted to give you guys some new ideas on easy vegan meals so I made sure to share THREE easy vegan meal ideas for you guys to try!

For breakfast, I made these amazing Tofu Scramble Breakfast Tacos! It’s basically just tofu scramble mixed in with mushrooms and veggie ground for extra flavour and used as filling for these little hard taco shells. I honestly wished I had soft tacos at the time because they’re a little easier to bite into, but these hard-shelled tacos still tasted great~ 

Breakfast tacos are a fun way to switch up your regular scrambled tofu – it’s really not that different or much more work to make but it definitely makes for a more unique experience. (Already liking these new vegan meal ideas? :D)

For lunch, I decided to make a rice noodle dish using these instant rice noodles that I found at the grocery store the other day. Let me just tell you that I am SO excited I found these because they are so easy to work with and super quick. I wanted to make a quick vegan Pad Thai originally but unfortunately, my tamarind paste (key ingredient to Pad Thai) went bad. So instead, I ended up making a simple Rice Noodle Stir Fry with Veggies and making a sauce similar to a pad thai sauce. It was awesome – definitely a must try!

Finally, for dinner, I decided to make these (hehe, get it?). Yes, folks, more magic has happened from using an air-fryer. These fries are great to pair with almost anything and in my case, I paired it with Buffalo Soy Curls (recipe mentioned in this video) and bok choy caesar salad! Perfectly balanced, perfectly delicious, definitely a healthy and not-too-heavy dinner!

Also for this What I Ate in a Day video, I decided to include the supplement I am taking just in case you might be just be looking for one yourself~ 🙂

2. Crumble up the extra firm tofu and add to the pan. Cook for a little bit.
3. Mix in the tofu scramble seasoning until everything is well-coated. 
4. Throw in the veggie ground (it adds a really nice flavour!) and add a little bit of kala namak (black salt) for that eggy flavour (optional). Mix well.

LUNCH: Rice Noodle Stir Fry with Veggies (Pad Thai-inspired)

Ingredients:

• 1 serving Rice noodles (I used the instant kind)
• 3/4 cup chopped mushrooms 
• 1 head baby bok choy

Instructions:

1. Chop your veggies (baby bok choy, onion, and mushrooms).

4. In a heated pan, throw in the chopped veggies and cover it up to let it cook.
5. Add in some chickpeas and crumbled tofu. Stir until cooked.

DINNER: Air Fried Fries

Ingredients:

• 3 potatoes
• 1 tbsp oil
• Garlic salt
• Pepper

Instructions:

1. Peel and cut potatoes into “fries” shapes. 
2. In a large mixing bowl, add in the fries and oil. Mix well until potatoes are well-coated. (Feel free to use slightly less oil)
3. Season potatoes with desired amount of black pepper and garlic salt. Mix well.
4. Place potatoes in the air fryer and cook at 370 degrees for 12 minutes initially, and another 5 minutes or so until desired. (NOTE: Play around with the cooking time; this depends on how much potatoes you add into the air fryer)
5. Serve and enjoy! (In the video, I had this alongside Buffalo Soy Curls and Bok Choy Caesar Salad).

NOTE: For the Buffalo Soy Curls, I basically just pan-fried some Soy Curls in vegan butter. I then added garlic salt, black pepper, and Frank’s red hot sauce (aka the buffalo sauce!). Check out the video if you prefer visuals.
