Vegan Food Pyramid
Vegan Food Pyramid
I've teamed up with my good friend @miguelthevegan for this post, be sure to check him out too!
We've redesigned the food pyramid into a vegan-friendly version.
Grains, especially the wholegrain versions are packed with complex carbs, fiber and tons of essential vitamins & minerals. I'm talking oats, brown rice, quinoa (yes, I know it's technically a seed), etc. They'll generally take up the bulk of your meals.
Fruit & veggies, we all know the benefits of them, fiber & all sorts of nutrients, fill up on your fruit & veg each day, I generally aim for 10 servings a day, but whatever stage you're at, work to increase it, even if it's 2-3.
Legumes like beans, lentils, soy products, packed with protein, fiber, complex carbs & more. Tofu & nut butter are minimally processed yes, but are generally close to their original form and have a similar nutritional profile, think peanuts v 100% peanuts peanut butter.
Nuts & Seeds, protein plus essential fats.
At the top, we've got moderately to heavily processed food like refined carbs, oil, vegan junk food, etc, you can still include this, just be mindful of your consumption and focus on the bottom layers first.
Do you agree? Less us know in the comments.
