Vegan Food Pyramid Archives ⋆ Mu Mu Muesli

What is a Vegan Food Pyramid?

A healthy vegan diet should follow a healthy Vegan Food Pyramid as a guide. Obviously, this is different than the “traditional” food pyramids! As you can see in the infographic above, a healthy vegan or vegetarian food pyramid includes:

Plenty of leafy greens and other vegetables

A variety of low-glycemic index fruits, especially berries like acai berries and blueberries

Legumes and soy, like tofu and tempeh

Whole grains, such as those found in muesli, oatmeal, or barley pancakes

Nuts and seeds (These are a great source of protein, as well as healthy fats!)

Healthy oils like sunflower or coconut oil

Mu Mu Muesli is an excellent source of vegan whole grains, antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins. It’s ethically sourced, and it also comes in zero waste packaging.

The Essential Vegan Food List for Beginners

Apr 5, 2019

While it’s tempting to try to “play it by ear” and eat whatever vegan foods happen to be available, this isn’t the most sustainable vegan lifestyle choice. This could inadvertently lead to nutritional deficiencies, which are actually quite common in vegans who don’t make a conscious effort to eat a full, well-rounded diet.
