The vegan diet is based on cereals, legumes, vegetables/fruits and nuts, and mushrooms. People follow its principles if they want not only to lose weight but also to improve their bodies. 6 vegetable recipes.
Fruits/vegetables, berries. Let’s add a variety of greens to the fruit and vegetable component and a complete, balanced diet for the whole day is ready. There is no need to invent anything. You can eat them, both raw and heat-treated. What kind of dishes based on these products does not exist. Fantasy is not limited by anything.
Cereals. Buckwheat is especially appreciated, which can be eaten both in boiled form and in sprouted format. They also do not forget about oats, wheat, amaranth, couscous, etc. All types of cereals are nutritious and healthy.
Dried fruits. Dried apricots, prunes, dates, figs, apples – all this and much more can be eaten both independently and as additives in porridges and many other dishes.
Nuts/seeds. You can talk about the benefits and unique composition of nuts, grains, and seeds endlessly. You will not find such a quantity of nutrients, and amino acids in any other product. Modern manufacturers constantly delight followers with proper nutrition with original products based on nuts, seeds, and grains. For example, in stores, there is a huge selection of cereals and muesli bars.
Soy. Soy meat and milk greatly diversify the diet, making the absence of animal products on the menu almost invisible.
