What I Eat In Summer (as a vegan)

Buy my book OKAY DAYS:

Nothing beats a fresh gorgeous decadent summer diet. I’m of the firm belief that summer diets should be centred around extreme physical pleasure, a completely hedonistic lazy afternoon delight kind of experience, but at the same time be super refreshing and vitamin packed and make us feel energised and glowing. Also, I think, summer foods and summer drinks should be cold. Not just cool, but ice cold lush. So here are some of my summer diet staples, that i eat on repeat every summer.

I talk about:
- vegan summer food
- my favourite food
- summer rolls
- strawberries and plant milk
- iced green tea
- tzatziki works with everything
- grapefruit mimosas all summer long
- berry ice cream
- vegan nice cream

Nothing like watermelon on a hot summer day, 🍉 Summer tomatoes from the garden 🍅, and a peach that is so divinely sweet the juice runs down your chin! 🍑Awe the perfection of summer. 💛

Do add freshly chopped dill to your tzatziki (you can even add a little bit of chopped mint if you like, but the dill is essential!)

Fav drink has to be Basil Tea - just fresh basil from the garden steeped in hot water, add lemon juice (and some form of sweetener if you like), cool down and serve on ice cubes. Super refreshing and it always tastes different depending on the type of basil you use 🙂

Watermelon + Cucumber + Mint + Feta and a little bit of olive oil Salad is the best for the hot weather!

my absolute favorite is nectarines while sitting in the sea shore...the saltiness of the water that lingers on my skin and the sweet juice of the fruit really is the most summery combination for me!

Here in Hungary, for summer we love to eat cold fruit soups, made of cherry or sour cheery or peaches or gooseberries....originally it's made with double cream but it's easy to make the vegan version, like my family does. Cooling, refreshing and tastes amazing! :)

I'm just gonna have summer rolls all summer long :)

All time favorite summer food has always been a veggie plate straight from our garden! When I was a kid we would sauté yellow squash, zucchini and onions, then roast corn on the cob and new potatoes with a generous sprinkling of fresh herbs from the garden, cut up fresh cucumbers and tomatoes slices (real tomatoes with flavor, not those bland tasteless water sacks you buy in the grocery store lol) and have a big piece of watermelon for dessert! It has been awhile since we grew all of those veggies in my parents' garden and I still fantasize about those meals we would eat all summer long when I was little; I still recreate them every chance I get in the summer!

In Poland we love pierogies, and in summer we fill them with strawberries or blueberries with a dollop od cream on top 🤤 there’s equally yummy variations for winter 😉

I love this video and the ideas! In Spain we drink gazpacho in sumer as starter. It's a cold soup with tomatos, cucumber, pepper, garlic, water and olive oil

I call that drink a Pamplemosa! 😂 Blackberries are great here in summer on the southwest coast of Canada, but they are best when pulled right off of the bush, warmed from the sun. They grow everywhere here in summer. :)

For summer, I love a fruit salad with lettuce greens, dulse flakes & sauteed plantain. The fruit I use is frozen & as it thaws it releases its own juice & I find no need to use a dressing, otherwise, I'd use lemon or lime juice. It's a nice light juicy meal.
Lately, I find myself eating tzatziki regularly. I made sweet potato waffles (mashed sweet potatoes & oat flour) & used it as bread, and stuffed the sandwich with wild rice burgers, tzatziki & arugula/rocket.

One of my favorite in summer is kinda similar to your strawberry and soy milk. It’s frozen blueberries and I add oatmeal milk on it, the frozen blueberries make the milk kinda like shave ice and I add a bit of cinnamon too. It’s so good and refreshing 😊🥛🫐

[tanjabrauer]

My favorite summer food is tomatoes from the garden with some mashed garden basil and a little pink salt - eaten while still warm from the sun :)

[beitheleaf]

charcuteries galore!!❤ olives, fig and pepper jellies, cheeses, fruits and dried fruits and all the crunchy toast and crackers!! You get the best of all flavors and textures ❤❤❤✨

[traceygoodman]

Wow you are the most beautiful force of nature. Grateful you are in this world. Definitely ordering your book and the one next year. Wishing you both the brightest of blessings 🙏💐🙌👏🥰🌱💚

[martamartinez]

Here in Miami we enjoy Mangoes for a summer treat 🥭 😊

[goedwards]

Watermelon for dinner and dessert! Watermelon with red onion, black sliced olives and feta cheese. Toss and add a squeeze of lemon and some olive oil. Yummy.... sliced watermelon for dessert!

The local blackberries in Perthshire (Scotland) are incredible in June. Can't beat a summer roast veg salad with grilled aubergine and balsamic vinegar, Then local, season berries. All with a beer or English Sparkling wine plus pals x

As a child I would visit my grandparents in the summer and my grandma would give me beautiful fresh strawberries with a small bowl of sugar to dip them it 😅 I'm kind of horrified looking back on this, but as a child it was THE BEST 😁🤣
