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.

About Vegan Chad
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 [...]

Read through the menu on their website for some good lunch and breakfast ideas. The sandwich is simple and paired with their [...]

Chad’s Story
We have decided to go vegan for 30 days. Sounds easy, right? As Sara mentioned in her post, we have slowly been making our way toward a vegetarian diet. Over the past couple of years we have learned about the health benefits of not eating meat, poultry, fish and dairy. Much of this knowledge has come from [...]
