30 Day Vegan Challenge


Well hello there! Are you ready for a 30 day transformation? I'm so excited to be sharing in this journey with you. I know changing your diet so drastically can be really difficult both physically and mentally, but trust me, it will be so worth it! This month is going to be full of great food and hopefully great feelings as well.

Just a note, when you first start the diet, it is possible that you will feel some unpleasant symptoms as a result of your body detoxing-don't freak out! I have a strong opinion that the vegan lifestyle is good for anyone and everyone, but you know your body best. I am not a doctor and if you begin to feel like you are dying (I'm exaggerating) then please stop or maybe change something that doesn't agree with you.

Now that we have all the formalities out of the way, lets get into the good stuff!

The *BB option remains the same: You can have protein brownies for your snacks (because who gets tired of brownies?) and you can add Nutiva Hemp Protein Powder to your smoothies. If you don't think that is enough, feel free to add beans or tofu to any dish that you feel it would work with.

Eating out is something that definitely seems like a huge dilemma when changing your diet, but never fear! PETA has options for you. If you aren't sure where you can eat or what to eat when you get there, type into your browser the place that you are thinking about eating and then type "peta" and it should bring up something for where you are going (not everywhere has vegan options though unfortunately...). You could always ask your restaurant for something like rice, potatoes, or vegetables with nothing on them (but you really do have to ask, you never know what kind of crazy things they do with your food, even the simple things).

I'll also be adding in some goodies along the way, so stay tuned!

About

Do you want to be energized? Do you want to fuel your body with rich and nutrient dense foods that your body loves? Yes? So do I! I've created this blog to document the different recipes I've created as well as share with you a peek into a Vegan lifestyle and the benefits that come with it. I started on the Vegan diet in October of 2012 and my life was immediately transformed! Before I started on the diet I was often very tired and consistently got sick every month. As soon as I changed my diet I became energized, stopped getting sick, and felt great! I want you to be able to experience the transformation that I felt or even just enjoy incorporating these nutrient rich foods into you normal diet.
