‘What I Eat In A Week Following My 2007 Vegan Diet’

Nicole Whittle, also known as Vegan Beauty Girl, recently shared a YouTube video showcasing her vegan diet from 2007. During the early days of veganism, she relied on health food store staples, "accidentally vegan" supermarket finds, and homemade meals. Whittle recreated classic meals from that time period, such as granola with soy milk for breakfast, veggie burgers with hummus for lunch, and bangers and mash for dinner using dairy-free alternatives.

She also prepared leek and potato soup, beans on toast, and a tofu stir-fry with an improvised orange soy sauce. Whittle highlighted the resourcefulness required to maintain a vegan diet in 2007, where plant-based options were less accessible compared to today. Additionally, she shared tips on reducing food waste by juicing leftover produce to create fresh and flavorful drinks. Whittle's nostalgic meal choices showcased the simplicity and creativity of early vegan cooking.
