Answer
Here is a list of healthy foods :)
- Go for natural, organic food
- For fiber, go for plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, high fiber cereals that aren't high in sugar - for example bran cereals; oatmeal, brown/wild rice, sweet potato, whole grain breads, whole grain and brown rice pastas, nuts, nut butter, etc.
- For protein: beans, eggs, cheese in moderation, cottage cheese, tofu, tempeh, tuna, salmon, etc.
Protein & fiber, along with veggies & fruit will help keep you full =)
~ Greek yogurt or yogurt (nonfat) - Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt
~ Eggs, cheese, cottage cheese (2% is fine), goat cheese, skim milk or goat milk, etc.
~ Vegetables
~ Fruit & Berries
~ Beans (chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans, mixed beans, etc.) - full of fiber and protein :)
~ Veggie burgers (Amy's makes great veggie burgers)
~ Whole grain breads: multigrain bread, ezekiel bread, rye bread, whole wheat pitas, whole grain tortillas or bagels, etc.
~ Whole grain pasta or brown rice pasta, brown/wild rice, quinoa, buckwheat, etc.
~ Sweet potatoes or potatoes
~ Hummus
~ Oatmeal - great source of fiber, you can add toppings like: almond butter or peanut butter, nuts, fresh berries/fruit, raisins, dried fruit like cherries/cranberries/blueberries, cinnamon, skim milk or non-dairy milk, nonfat greek yogurt, jam, honey, agave nectar, maple syrup, etc.
~ Healthy cereals (Kashi, Nature's Path Organic, etc..high in fiber like raisin bran)
~ Nuts, seeds, almond butter, peanut butter
~ Non-dairy milks like soy, almond or rice milk
~ Ground flax seed to add into a smoothie, top yogurt, etc.
~ Olive oil, good healthy fat, great for stir frys with lots of veggies.
~ Salmon & Tuna
~ Tofu & Tempeh - are great in sandwiches, wraps, on salads, etc.
~ Whole grain crackers
~ Whole grain waffles or pancakes
~ Dark chocolate, in small amounts, great for a treat
A few other helpful tips :)
- Drink green tea. Water + lemon (cleansing, great for your digestive system, skin)
- Avoid: soda, diet soda or any diet drinks, artificial colors or sweeteners, white flour, too much sugar, overly processed foods
- For exercise, you can also try things like simple walking or yoga/pilates - very healthy for you :)

Quick, easy, high-protein vegan meals?
Q. Lately I haven't had a lot of time to cook meals because I'm so busy. Usually what ends up happening is at the last minute, I find something quick to eat, and it's usually not very balanced; high-carb with not a lot of protein.
Does anyone have ideas for quick, easy, vegan lunches or dinners that are healthy and high in protein?

Answer
Make your meals and freeze them. I've been experimenting with veggie burgers only making them into veggie loaf and baking them. Then I always have sandwich filling on hand. There are so many recipes and I am avoiding refined soy products such as tofu and soy milk and using the whole beans.
