Week Three Week three and we’re still vegans!. We kept the breakfasts the same for the most part. I had smoothies everyday, and Sara mixed in some cereal. We ate out a bit more, both together for dinner and individually for lunch. I noted our different meals below to give you some ideas. After putting [...]

Vegan Protein Powder
We have become smoothie addicts since starting our 30 Day Vegan quest. They are a great way to jam a lot of fruit and veg into one meal that goes down easy and tastes great. I can’t seem to shut up about my favorite Vegan Chad’s Eat Some Greens Smoothie. If you haven’t tried it do [...]
Black-eyed Peas & Collard Greens
I can say without a doubt that this recipe has been made more times in our household than any other dish over the last year. We adapted it from Isa Chandra Moskowitz’s book Apetite for Reduction. It and several of her other recipes were the gateway drugs that has lead us to veganism. I like it [...]
Vegan Chad’s Eat Some Greens Smoothie
This is my go to smoothie for breakfast or any quick meal. It is loaded with protein from powder supplements and a truckload of spinach. The base is the liquids, blueberries and banana. Start with that then you can have your way with this bad boy. I was apprehensive about drinking spinach but grew to love it [...]
Vegan Meal Plans – Week Two

Week 3 and Still Going Strong

Tomato Avocado Sandwich
I first had a version of this sandwich at the World Peace Cafe in Atlanta, GA. A great local vegetarian and vegan restaurant owned by a nearby Buddhist meditation center and staffed mostly by volunteers. Read through the menu on their website for some good lunch and breakfast ideas. The sandwich is simple and paired with their [...]
Vegan Meal Plans – Week One
Week One Here is the meal plan for our first week. It leans heavily toward comfort food and omnivore meal replacements. We designed it this way to help us ease into a new lifestyle. The smoothies are the secret. We encourage you to cram as many greens into them as you can stand. No one [...]
Vegan Baking Substitutes
I stumbled across this infographic while browsing around the interwebs today. It is a quick reference for vegan baking ingredient substitutes. The Ultimate Vegan Baking Cheat Sheet
Sara’s Day 1
Day One went well. I had a delicious smoothie with spinach, blueberries, cranberry juice, and flax seed for breakfast. I had a late breakfast and didn’t eat much for lunch. I had some trail mix and nuts and a Clementine as a snack. Dinner turned out to be pretty good. We made nachos that turned [...]
