Before moving into the van we ate a fully organic and vegan diet. We mostly shopped at bulk or zero waste stores and tried to limit our waste. Everything was made from scratch at home.
We still try to stick to those values on the road but truthfully sometimes it’s hard to find organic produce everywhere so we’ve had to make some compromises there. Unfortunately being waste free has been something we struggle a lot with in the van and although we try we do wish we could do better. But unless we’re in a big city we’re often reatricted in what’s available.
A typical day starts off with our homemade yoghurt and topped with granola and fruit. We mix up mornings by alternating quinoa pancakes or our vegan omelettes stuffed with melted cheese.
We usually do a green smoothie mid morning to boost our greens intake and lunch is either a light bean/chickpea salad or leftovers from the night before.
Our ultimate prize possession in the kitchen is our stovetop pressure cooker, so for dinner we have a lot of one pot meals. Alternating between curry, pasta, soups, casseroles etc. Our favourite one pot meal at the moment is Kitchari.
