Day 2: It's a Whole Foods Lunch...

Today's expensive lunch was once again courtesy of Whole Foods! I had vegan, no oil saag (Indian spinach dish), along side some brown rice and beans. Since I was super hungry I also had some Naked Lasagna (vegan, no oil). The lasagna was so so. I could have done with out the tofu.

Lunch was definitely filling but look out for a post on my snacks for the day :-)

Day 2: Breakfast of Champions

Good morning and happy Wednesday!!! Today start's day 2 of a vegan/whole foods diet!  Yesterday went well, except for the tortilla/hummus snafu.

This morning I started my breakfast off with the usual:  1/4c of oats, 1/4c almond meal, 1 mashed banana.  All of this made in a mug with some water.  Once done, I topped it off with a splash of almond milk.  Yes, that is a huge ass mug of coffee next to it! I need my one mug in the morning..otherwise you  don't want to talk to me the rest of the day :-p

I'm hoping this breakfast will keep me full till noon. I plan on checking out Whole Foods' vegan, no oil options for lunch.

What are you guys having for breakfast?

Personal goals for the day:

• Practice DhoonyaFIT (more on this later)
• Get a workout in

It's a Whole Foods Dinner....

Dinner tonight was courtesy of Whole Foods. I stopped by earlier to pick up some ingredients to make blueberry oat breakfast muffins. While at Whole Foods I stopped by the hot foods section and luckily they had plenty of vegan, no oil options :-)

In a little container I packed in "The Green Squad" which had rainbow chard, yellow bell pepper and purple cabbage. I also packed in "The Mediterranean Crunch" which had chickpeas, broccoli florets, tomatoes and olives. Lastly, I layered in some "Detox Salad" which had minced broccoli, carrots, peppers and tons of ginger!! I mixed this all together in my small container and had a deliciously expensive ($10- SERIOUSLY!) vegan, no oil dinner :-p

I also saw Whole Foods was selling books with recipes from Forks Over Knives. That explains the no oil, vegan meals :-)

Day 1 is almost over. So far so good!!

Day 1: Lunchtime

Lunch went really well. I made curried chickpeas and quinoa last night. I added this to a bowl of lettuce and stirred it all up to eat.

Lunch tasted great but was not too filling.










That's when I had some of this:

The ingredients were all whole foods(organic corn tortilla) BUT oil was also listed for both the hummus and chips.

I now know to bring more raw food snacks for tomorrow.

Day 1: Breakfast

This mornings breakfast was not too different than my usual breakfast EXCEPT instead of using skim milk, I used a splash of almond milk.

This morning I made oatmeal with 1/4 cup oats, 1/4 cup almond flour, water, and a mashed banana. I added a splash of almond milk when this was done. I also had a juicy Gala apple on the side.

Forks Over Knives...30 Day Challenge

Last night I watched a wonderful documentary on the benefits of eating a whole/plant based food diet.  The documentary was certainly and eye opener and showed how a plant based diet can reverse heart disease and shrink cancerous tumors.  If you haven't watched this documentary, I highly recommend you do!

I've been meaning to start blogging again for a while.  Thankfully, the documentary has motivated me to try a plant based diet for 30 days, which also gives me a great opportunity to blog about this experience. Today, I am starting a 30 day plant based diet.  Luckily, forksoverknives.com has some great recipes that I'd like to try out.

Would anyone else like to partake in this challenge with me?
