What I ate today (Vacations pt.2)

Hello people! So as I mentioned in my previous post, this is another what I ate today while vacationing in Agkistri island. It may not be the fanciest but this series go to show that you can vegan and eat a lot while being on a budget. Because being vegan is not expensive.I mean, the most cheap foods are vegan; pasta,rice,beans... unlike meat that can be quite pricey. But anyway, let's get into everything I ate that day in Agkistri,which was actually the last full day on the island.



  • 9:00 am 
Again, I had the same breakfast as all the other days. Granola with dried fruit, dates, flax seeds, a banana and oat milk.



  • 11:30 pm
I spent my morning by the pool and since I wasn't really that hungry I grabbed a peach as a snack. Peaches are definitely one of my favourite summer fruits and our fridge was full always full of them this summer! That's something I will miss during the winter time.


  • 2:30 pm
As I said previously, you can be vegan while on a low budget and this meal was an example of this. We just bought some pasta and a sauce, boil the pasta, throw the sauce on top and serve it with some bread! Simple and delicious! And definitely satisfying.

 The sauce was the one I used in a previous what I ate today post, a fav of mine.

 Later in the evening, I just snacked on some dates, which I failed to take a picture of., oops.

  • 8:00 pm
For dinner we went to the same restaurant where I had that sorbet the other day but this time I ordered a vegan burger which was served with a side salad. Obviously, this was amazing.


And that's it! Feel free to leave your thoughts below! Bye! xx

What I ate today (Vacations pt.1)


Hello people! I haven't posted in a while and that's why I was on vacations! I spend a week in Agkistri Island and then 4 days in Loutraki. During my time in Agkistri I thought I could take the opportunity of making a what i ate in a day post for you. Now, I couldn't decide which day to post and I thought I could make two separate posts showing you what I ate in Agkistri, so keep an eye on my blog for part two!


 Let's go!
  • 9:00 am 

 So everyday I started my morning with pretty much the same thing, since I had packed some ingredients with me for making breakfast during that week.
This consists of a bunch of things; granola, a mix of dried fruits, flax seeds, a chopped banana, some dates and oat milk. This was obviously delicious and gave me so much energy early in the morning!


  • 12:00 pm
Later on, we went to a beautiful beach where I share half a melon with my brother (obviously I ate more than him). I just love summer and its sweet, refreshing fruits!

  • 3:00 pm
When we left the beach, we decided to eat in one of the tavern, and we went to a traditional tavern that was serving mainly fish. So, I ordered the only things that were vegan, potato fries and a Greek salad. Not exciting at all but it was tasty and very satisfying. Mediocre looks, good taste.

Then we went back to our hotel and where tiredness knocked me out and I had to take a nap. 
  • 7:00 pm 
I woke up from the nap feeling quite hungry and since it was almost dinner time, I ate the other half of the melon with some dates. Super satisfying and delicious.
  • 9:30 pm
A couple of hours later, we went to cafe/restaurant and since I wasn't feeling that hungry, I had some strawberry sorbet. Gotta love sorbets.
When we got back to our hotel, we just snacked on some grapes and that was it! 

As you can see, a lot of my meals was basically fruit which is perfect during the summer. And even if summer is almost over, don't be afraid to go and buy all those beautiful fruits this season has to offer you! You will feel so good eating all that goodness! See you in the next post, bye! x

What I ate today #2


Hello and welcome to another what I eat in a day! I'm planning on making a lot of this kind of posts because I think it's a great way to get inspiration for your everyday meals and you can also get a glimpse of my day and my food choices. Let's get started!


  • 10:00 am


So for breakfast I had a bowl of cereal, as per usual. I put this brand of cereal (which is soo good btw) in a bowl with some oats, one chopped banana and soy milk. Simple but delicious! And it gave me the energy I would need at the gym later on.



  • 1:30 pm

By the time I returned from the gym, it was lunch time so I made one of the easiest and quickest meals. Pasta with tomato sauce! I drizzled some nutritional yeast on top, obviously and I had two of these bowls to feel satisfied.





This was the tomato sauce I always buy. I only use it when I'm in a rush though or when there's no tomatoes left, since I prefer preparing my own, homemade sauce.


  • 5:00 pm

For a snack, I went for something simple. I recently bought these granola bars and I wish I could describe to you how good they are! And I was really suprised to find out that they were vegan. So, I had this granola bar and a banana as well.


  • 8:30 pm
Dinner time! For this meal, I kind of improvised since we didn't have a lot of things is my kitchen. I was going to make a sandwich but there was no bread left, so I made these "lettuce boats". It's basically two big leaves of lettuce with tomato, mushrooms, corn and dressing. Now, usually my dinner is bigger but I wasn't really hungry at that day and wanted something lighter.







Aaand that's it! Feel free to share your thoughts and any suggestions for future posts. K, bye!

What I ate today! #1




Hello! So one of my favourite kind of videos to watch on youtube is "what i ate today" videos because they help me get inspired and creative with my everyday food choices.And  I tought I would do the same things here in my blog! Basically I will start a series of posts showing you everything I ate on a particular day. And so this post number one.

I'm not going to show the full recipes though so if you're interested in knowing the instruction of any of these meals, just let me know. Lastly, sorry for the quality of the photos, I had to use my phone so it's not the usual quality of the photos on my blog.



First things first, I always start my day with a full glass of water and sometimes I also add some lemon slices as well as lemon juice.






























Then, it's breakfast time! I always include fruit in my breakfast since that's what will give me the energy I need to start my day. The most usual breakfast is the following- granola and oats, strawberries, banana, dates and of course some almond milk. I also topped it with some chia seeds.





Then for luch I made a pretty quick meal.I put some potatoes in the oven, half seasoned with paprika and the other half with curry powder, and added some ketchup and barbeque sacuce (vegan ironically) as dippings. I also made a big bowl of salad with spinach, cucumber, tomatoes, tofu and dressing. This was soo good and filling!
Then, I went to the gym for about an hour and a half and came back home at around 5:30 pm and had this amazing raw bar as a snack.




The ingredients in this were really surprising honesly! It was made with just dates and cashews, and as I always say, the less ingredients the better because no one wantes an over-processed snack.



Then since I wasn't home until 9 pm, I was really hungry. I decided to make quacamole with some tortilla chips because we would watch a movie and of course I had to snack on something.But I also had to eat something quite filling since I hadn't eat that much all evening. I don't think I have to decribe how good that was!




AAND, THAT'S IT FOR TODAY! Now, I usually eat a lot more but I keep my meals healthy and cruelty-free. I will keep you updated with other "what I ate today" posts


See you on the next post, k bye!

I'm alive and back at it!


Soo, I haven't uploaded in like a month or more, and I'm so sorry about that! There just have been some technical difficulties aka I lacked creativity and then my computer wouldn't work for like 2 weeks :( But now I'm back! And I'll try my best to upload content like once a week-at least. 

But for this post, I'll just update you about things that happened in the last month... Let's go!

My school went on a three-day trip in Volos, which is a port city in Thessaly,Greece.

























And I was super surprised to find out that the pizza restaurant we stopped at had vegan pizza! 
I'm pretty sure the cheese was made from soy- and it was so delicious! Not even kidding, I wouldn't even realize it wasn't real cheese if i hadn't read it at the menu.






Then, it was the Easter holidays and me and my family went on a one-day trip to Evia.We drove up the mountain and just admired the view.
























The we went to a local tavern for the traditional Easter meal, and of course the vegetarian options were limited, let alone the vegan ones which were almost non-existed.

A couple of hours later we went to a cute little cafe in the promenade of Chalkis, called Carpe diem, where I ordered a strawberry sorbet, but it had a variety of other desserts-non vegan obviously.






So, that's it for now! As I said, from now on I will try to be consistent with my posts and I already have some delicious recipes in progress!
