Lunch is a high-quality protein smoothie, her go-to brand is Kachava, to which she adds half a banana and a handful of spinach. Dinner is stir fry veggies and tofu or maybe homemade split pea soup or chili. It’s the one meal that varies. Sometimes she makes spaghetti with edamame pasta or vegan burgers or soft tacos. She thinks the main success factor is that she cooks almost all of her meals at home. She hasn’t been to a restaurant with a drive-through in over a year.
