We get very little benefits from eating grains, our body is not designed to digest it just like meat. Most of it just comes out again. It also creates gas.

Hi brighteyed, welcome to the vegan life!! Your day sounds pretty good to me but I am by no means a nutritional expert. I just love to eat. I'm sure there are other folks here who can give you better advice on how balanced your food is. I drink loads of tea too! Also, I love that peppermint soy milk but I've never tried it frozen...sounds good!
