Baker and author Georgia Irwin preps her meals on Sunday for the week ahead.
Dinner is a vegetable and pasta soup with vegies supplied from Irwin’s garden.My pre-made banana oat pancakes with raspberry chia jam, coconut yoghurt and a soy latte. I run a small bakery at home, so I prep meals on Sundays to keep my kitchen clean on baking days.A rice bowl of marinated satay tofu, cucumber, carrots, capsicum, avocado and pickled ginger with spicy vegan mayo.
Dr Joanna McMillan says:Including a mix of grain foods, beans and tofu as these are all key protein sources in a vegan diet. Eating fruit and veg fresh from your own garden minimises the loss of nutrients such as vitamin C.Keep your risk of chronic diseases low from your plant-rich, wholefood diet. However, you are low in omega-3 fats, which are key for brain health, and as a woman you have high iron requirements that can be difficult to meet with plant foods.
