Remember when Beyoncé went vegan back in 2013? Well her trainer and diet planner, Marco Borges, released a complete list of everything she ate, breakfast, lunch and dinner, for those 22 days. I’ve condensed the 22 day plan to an easier 7 days so you can try it and see if you feel as flawless as Beyoncé did.
Day 1
Breakfast
Beyoncé loves her green smoothies. Hers normally include banana, almond butter, protein powder and a heap of greens. This one’s pretty similar, as long as you omit the Greek yogurt.
Lunch
One of Beyoncé ‘s go-to lunches is a salad. But don’t be disappointed; these salads aren’t the wilted iceberg lettuce topped with ranch that you’re used to. Get ready for some mango, kale and avocado goodness.
Dinner
Did you know you can make noodles out of zucchini? Well you can, and Beyoncé did. Check out how to make them here.
Day 2
Breakfast
Another vegan staple is chia pudding. Chia seeds are packed full of fiber, B vitamins and Omega-3s. They also make a pretty good pudding replacement. Beyoncé ‘s go to flavor is vanilla, but there’s tons of room for experimentation with this easy breakfast.
Lunch
Lunch today is another avocado salad. Add some jicama, a Mexican yam, for some more flavor.
Dinner
Quinoa is practically a staple in a vegan diet. This quinoa and black bean salad will pack in tons of protein, which of course is important for vegans.
Day 3
Breakfast
Oatmeal is a filling and delicious way to wake up, and is pretty easily made vegan with a simple switch of milk with almond milk. Beyoncé likes hers with some banana and a scoop of almond butter.
Lunch
Curried rice and lentils. Lentils are very important. They gave Beyoncé the protein needed to rehearse, record, and do all the things she does in a day.
Dinner
You won’t even miss the meat with this black bean burger.
Day 4
Breakfast
Cereal is very simply made vegan. All you have to do is switch the milk. Beyoncé’s version of vegan cereal, however, is a bit healthier than just Cinnamon Toast Crunch and soy milk. She prefers puffed rice cereal (more specifically, she ate this one) and half a banana with a cup of almond milk.
Lunch
Beyoncé loves kale, if you didn’t already notice from her iconic kale sweatshirt. So lunch today is a kale, apple and raisin salad with a dijon vinaigrette.
Dinner
Pesto pasta is easy and delicious. Throw in some extra veggies to follow Beyoncé’s recipe.
Day 5
Breakfast
Oatmeal is a versatile breakfast, so change up Day 3’s recipe by adding some cinnamon and apples.
Lunch
Lunch today is simple. Just remake that Day 3 lentil curry recipe and you’re good to go.
Dinner
Have a hearty meal of sweet potato and black bean chili.
Day 6
Breakfast
Switch up the smoothie recipe by blending up mixed berries, coconut water, half an avocado and some chocolate protein powder.
Lunch
Skip the cheese with this hummus and veggie quesadilla.
Dinner
Got any leftovers from Day 2’s quinoa and black bean salad? Good, have them tonight.
Day 7
Breakfast
Stick to an easy breakfast for your last day. Have some cereal and half a banana topped with almond milk.
Lunch
I know you’ll be missing kale once this week is over, so treat yourself to a nice kale chickpea salad.
Dinner
Remember those zucchini noodles from Day 1? Make them again and top them with some ginger, sesame oil, maple syrup and soy sauce for an Asian noodle salad.
