When Noa Banks first embraced veganism, dinnertime became her biggest challenge. “I was fine during the day—smoothies, fruit, toast,” she recalls.
“But when the evening came, I just didn’t know what to cook that felt satisfying.”
She remembers one of her earliest attempts: an overcooked pot of lentils and mushy vegetables. “It was… not good,” she laughs. “I wondered if I had made a mistake.” But instead of giving up, Noa simplified everything.
She stopped looking for complicated substitutes and began focusing on whole ingredients, one dish at a time. Bloom Nutrition Superfood Greens Powder, Digestive Enzymes with Probiotics and Prebiotics, Gut Health
Over time, she learned that dinner didn’t need to be elaborate to be satisfying. A warm bowl of rice and beans with avocado and lime, a roasted veggie tray with tahini drizzle, or a stir-fry with tofu and garlic became staples in her kitchen.
“It was less about being perfect and more about being consistent,” she says.
For Noa, the breakthrough came when she stopped trying to recreate her old meals and started discovering new ones.
“There’s so much joy in finding flavors you didn’t grow up with but end up loving,” she shares. And now, dinner is her favorite time of the day—simple, nourishing, and fully hers.
