Being vegan in the Tufts Dining Halls

One of our fellow classmates was challenged by finding good vegan food for breakfast. I wrote to Julie Lampie, Tufts Nutritionist to see what she had to say. Below is her response.

Hi Tina,

Thanks for contacting me in regards to your vegan student. I will be the first to admit that choices for vegan is somewhat limited for breakfast in comparison to the choices available to omnivores. We do have all types of yummy cereals, including hot oatmeal & cream of wheat, granolas, and other healthy cereals such as Optimum flax. Nuts should also be available, most likely walnuts and of course all kinds of fruit both fresh & canned. Please also pass along the availability of soy yogurt. I am not sure where they are eating, but soy yogurt is available. Of course there are all kinds of breads & bagels, including whole wheat English muffins and natural peanut butter & jelly. If desired, most of the breakfast potatoes are vegan as well. Please pass along this information, and if the student ever wishes to speak with me, I am available.

Julie
