If you are an athlete and you are vegan, there is also a diet designed for you and don't worry, because it will provide you with all the nutrients you need, the necessary carbohydrates and the high biological value proteins you need.
Imagine that you wake up on a Saturday wanting to go on a hiking route and you think, "what can I eat today?". To start, you can have a very delicious breakfast in which you combine a bowl of calcium-enriched soy drink, rolled oats and a bowl of strawberries. To snack something mid-morning you can try having either biscuits or corn pancakes with virgin olive oil and nuts.
We already know that in the mountains you usually get quite hungry, so if you are still there at meal time, we advise you to pack chickpeas with spinach, pine nuts and raisins in the tupperware and second vegetable burger. There are many recipes for vegetarians and vegans so if cooking is not your thing, you can easily learn to prepare some dishes in the simplest way possible.
What is the best dessert? You can opt for a bowl of soy and combine it with strawberries, peaches, kiwis, watermelon, cherries, melon... or any other fruit you fancy. For a snack, there are many different options, so you can choose between some type of vegetable drink, soy yogurt, fresh orange juice, bread with jam (light type if you want to stay on track), biscuits with oil, etc.
And after spending the day doing sports, there is nothing better than a good dinner to regain strength: a grilled vegetable with seitan and bread or some green beans with potato, seitan and walnuts can be an ideal choice . For dessert? Any type of fruit such as watermelon, apples, loquats, cherries, peaches or apricots will be good for you.
This type of diet has all the proteins needed in the diet, all of them derived from products of plant origin or products derived from grain (bread, cereals, pasta). It also has calcium, vitamin D, iron... So if you are an athlete, don't worry, because you won't lack anything so you can practice your favorite sport completely normally.
