Your support makes all the difference.Lizzo has shared what a typical day of meals looks like for her now that she has begun following a vegan diet.
This week, the Good as Hell singer revealed that she had become vegan in a series of TikToks.
“As a new vegan I'm enjoying exploring flavours from plants & plant-based proteins!” Lizzo captioned a TikTok showcasing examples of what she eats for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert on a “pretty average” day. “Every journey is personal & deserves to be celebrated.”
In the video, shared with her more than 8m followers and viewed more than 1.6m times, the Grammy-award winner begins with her breakfast, a green smoothie made with coconut water, kale or spinach, and frozen fruit.
For lunch, the 32-year-old makes a salad consisting of kale, red cabbage, broccoli, avocado, white onions, and carrots.

Lizzo then showed the hummus and Lesser Evil Paleo Puffs she eats as a snack, which she incorporated into her diet as a replacement for hot Cheetos.
“I used to eat a lot of hot Cheetos, but that wasn't good for my acid-reflux,” she explained. “These are Cheeto-alternative that I love that's vegan and I dip them in hummus. Badda-boom badda-snack!”
Lizzo’s dinner on an average day consists of mushroom balls, which she pairs with truffle and chickpeas, along with quinoa and leftover salad.
For dessert, the Truth Hurts singer showed off her peanut butter jelly smoothie, which she made by blending diet cola, peanut butter, frozen strawberries, oats, oat milk, vanilla protein powder, and "love from Jesus”.
Lizzo concluded the TikTok explaining that she feels “very lit and full” while reminding her followers that “We still need justice for Breonna Taylor”.
In a separate TikTok, the body-positive singer said being vegan has been “pretty easy” except when she is hungover - as she craves cheesy eggs.
Fortunately, Lizzo has found a plant-based recipe for a vegan scramble that satisfies the craving, made with Just Egg alternative, vegan cheese, spinach and a carne asada, bean and corn mixture.
The Hustlers actress paired the breakfast hangover meal with vegan bacon, which she recommends cooking in maple syrup “so it gets nice and crunchy and candied”.

Lizzo’s new vegan lifestyle has been met with support from her followers, who have applauded her for promoting veganism.
“This is awesome! I wanna eat every one of these things! Good on you for being a new vegan!” one person wrote, while another said: “Didn't know you are vegan! I love you even more now, influential queen!”
This is not the first time Lizzo has given fans an insight into her healthy lifestyle choices. Earlier this month, she shared a TikTok compilation showing her doing various exercises, while explaining that she doesn’t work out to “have your ideal body type”.
“I’m working out to have my ideal body type. And you know what type that is? None of your f***ing business,” she said.
