Pumpkin seeds, edamame, broccoli, wild rice (it’s not really rice) and a good vegan protein powder even though their carbohydrates content is not low, you will need it 👍🏼

Many meal bars are vegan. Try looking at ingredients in Kind bars and other meal replacement bars. Also try smoothies made with fruits and veggies and water with protien powder.

It’s simple. There is no way to avoid carbs since everything organic (natural? Is from carbohydrates. You should avoid simple sugars (sacharose, glucose, fructose)

Whole grain carbs are good for you. Especially in a vegan diet. You can’t avoid carbs in a vegan diet. If you want to reduce your carbs, focus on fresh fruit and vegetables and healthy fats. Tofu and meat substitutes are great as well.

Avocado, unsalted nuts, peanut butter and oil are some delicious, healthy fats! But remember to only reduce your carb intake if your docror has told you to, if not there is no reason 🙏🏼❤️

Good question! There’s lots of protein-rich options for vegans. I like to eat cold (but already cooked!) chickpeas, edamame and broccoli. Overtime I got addicted to how good it makes my body feel, and now enjoy the taste. There’s still carrots and hummus, the carrots being a great replacement for crackers!

Homemade granola with dairy-free yogurt. By making your granola you control how many carbs. For yogurt I recommend Kite Hill Artisan Almond Milk Yogurt.

I don’t know about vegan, I’m doing keto eating, low carb hi fat and protein. It’s been pretty easy so far, I just started about a week ago. Lots of recipes out there. I’ve joined a fb group called keto now for life. It’s great support.

I make a really simple bean chilli with a little chopped sweet potato, red peppers, kidney beans, butter beans, cannelonni- any combination is fine; tinned tomatoes and one can of coconut milk, some fresh chopped coriander and chilli according to your taste - it’s cheap, really fast and easy; you can’t go wrong

Hi, sorry, I can’t answer this question as I am not vegan. Perhaps try looking at some online forums for vegans? Good luck!
