Day 7 - Vegan Kick Start

It's Day 7 of the Vegan Kick Start and here's what I had today:


Breakfast:

• Carrot Muffins
• Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice

Lunch: 

• Black Bean Soup from Panerra  

Dinner:

• Lentils and Rice
• Green Beans

My six year-old loves carrot muffins. We make them nearly every weekend for breakfast and make sure there are extras for her lunch. We use a muffin recipe from Moosewood Restaurant Cooks At Home and substitue egg replacer for the eggs to make it vegan.

Dinner was lentils and rice made from a recipe in the Veganomican cookbook. It was delicious and easy! I put the lentils, rice and seasoning in the rice cooker early in the day and had dinner ready to go with very little effort. This is a great meal to make up extra batches and freeze to have a quick and easy meal on hand.

I nearly forgot to mention desert. I had Coconut Bliss Ice Cream sprinkled with a few vegan chocolate chips and sliced almonds. I've been experimenting with non-dairy ice creams and this is by far my favorite I've tried. It's non-dairy, sweetened with agave, and made with fair trade ingredients. If your craving something sweet this is something you can eat and feel good about.
