21-day Vegan Kickstart, coming in September

http://www.21daykickstart.org/index_menu…

Each day during the Kickstart, we provide recipes and suggestions for every meal. Don’t let this overwhelm you. We want you to know there are tons of options, but you get to pick and choose how many recipes you make each day or week—and how much of each recipe you make. For those of you cooking for four to six people, the serving size of the provided recipes will be spot-on. But if you are cooking for just yourself or one other person, you may consider cutting the recipe in half or making the full amount and freezing it. We recommend trying to cook a big batch and eating off of it for a few days. This will save you time and keep you eating healthy meals. And for those of you cooking for one, you might check out the book Vegan Cooking for One by Leah Leneman.What does a round, effective vegan diet consist of?
Well, animal free foods of course. :)



Breakfast: [Almost] any kind of cereal. I eat a Pumpkin Flaxseed cereal. You can also have raw oatmeal, with raisins, and/or agave nectar, with basically anything you want. You can also get firm tofu, mash it, add spinach, and have tofu scramble. Spinach isn't necessary but it adds a health boost! You can allow yourself processed things sometimes, especially while going Vegan, like mock sausage, bacon, etc. I LOVE Vegan bacon, even though I've only ate it a few times. You could also get Tempeh (Fermented soy, it's probably almost everywhere if you look) and fry it in some bacon spices. I once had to get up at 5 in the morning for a band concert in another state, I fried it the night before, put it in a plastic baggie, put it in the microwave the next morning and me and my *omni* friend ate it on the way there. She LOVED it.



Lunch: I honestly don't have a lot of ideas for this. I eat lunch at school, I have to make it small yet filling.

PB%26amp;J on a bean and lentil bread, bagel with Tofutti Cream Cheese, and Baked chips is what I had today. I also have Coconut milk yogurt, applesauce (that 'to go' stuff) pretzels, etc. You can make a homemade stuff and bring it-everyone LOVES homemade cinnamon pretzels! I also, on weekends, eat a whole breakfast-for-lunch ordeal. ; )



Dinner: Oh, the possibilities are endless. Soba noodles and peanut sauce, raw/cooked broccoli with raw cashew cheese, and endless amount of pre-made or homemade veggie burgers and 'chicken', char broiled salad, enchiladas, stir fries, organic salad w/ homemade dairy free dressing or Vegenaise/Nayonaise, Quinona can be put in ANYTHING, salads, dill, etc.



Snacks: Raw/homemade ice cream is the BEST. The original recipe was Raw, but I added rice milk for a creamier texture due to my crappy blender. You just need raw frozen bananas, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

You can basically have anything for a snack. Organic baby carrots are good, as well as green and fruit smoothies, etc.



Great choice BTW! Best of Luck! ;)What does a round, effective vegan diet consist of?
