I love eating and cooking, but I don’t always want to spend hours in the kitchen when I’m cooking for myself. My everyday meals tend to be simple, flavorful, and quick to prepare. Favorites include avocado toast (recipe below), fresh, quick salads, roasted vegetable bowls, Buddha bowls, and the occasional leftovers from my work as a vegan personal chef. For snacks I often reach for stove-top popcorn, seasonal fruit, healthier cookie recipes, green juices, and raw desserts. Since I’m frequently asked, “Jenné, what do you eat every day?” I made a video and wrote this post to show a typical day of eating. I hope it’s helpful and gives an honest glimpse into simple, satisfying vegan habits that keep me healthy and happy.
This Pickled Veggie Avocado Toast was created by my friend Kristin from Mindful Muse. We share similar tastes and when I visited her in Santa Monica we made variations of this toast almost every day. Kristin describes it as inspired by farmer’s market finds and California sunshine—bright, fresh, and packed with texture and flavor. It’s become a daily staple for me because it’s nourishing, fast, and endlessly customizable.
I’d love to know what you eat each day—please share in the comments or on social media using #sweetpotatosoul and @sweetpotatosoul.
