30 Days Vegan…and Counting!

February 12, 2017 by Alisha 14 Comments

This past January I decided to do a 30-Day Vegan challenge with my oldest daughter.  Back in December one of my friends said she was looking for some people to be a support system for a 21-Day Vegan Challenge starting the following month.  I’m always down for a challenge and decided that this sounded like something I’d love to do.  During December to help make the transition a bit easier I did a 21-Day Smoothie Bowl Challenge.  I seriously think that made the vegan challenge so much easier.  The funny part of the challenge is the friend that mentioned it…never did start!  LOL

Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes meat, eggs, dairy products and all other animal-derived ingredients. Many vegans also do not eat foods that are processed using animal products, such as refined white sugar and some wines.

Vegan refers to either a person who follows this way of eating or to the diet itself. That is, the word vegan can be an adjective used to describe a food item, as in, “This curry is vegan“, or, it can be used as a noun, as in, “Vegans like cookies, too.”

The first week or so I tried to stick pretty much to a meal plan that I found online.  I figured it would make my life easier but it ended up just being a bunch of things I couldn’t eat.  I’m allergic to avocado, melons, sometimes banana and a few other random azz things.  I think avocados are in about 99% of the recipes that I came across…LOL!  After a week of eating oatmeal and trying to make meals that turned into fails I decided to search out more things on Instagram.  That became my savior!

So after a day of literally stalking folks on Instagram I found my tribe!  I’d seen stuff by Peta  for a vegan starter kit but just like the natural hair  police some of that stuff was just too much for me.  I’m all about eating better and living a healthier lifestyle but I’m not one for shaming those that eat food that contain animal products.  I had joined a group on Facebook too hoping to just get recipes ideas and tips and some of those folks took veganism to the extreme.  So I politely rolled up on out of there!
