Hello everyone and welcome to the beginning
of 21 Days of Love! Thank you, thank you,
and thank you again for taking the time to
learn more about the food we eat and the animals
involved in the process. Now the biggest question
on everyone’s minds when they start into
a vegan lifestyle is “What am I supposed
to eat?” So, we are going to be taking it
meal by meal for the first few days beginning
with that Oh So Important First Meal of the
Day: Breakfast! Your classic breakfasts can
still be enjoyed to the fullest following
a vegan lifestyle, and they can be as extravagant
or as simple as your heart desires.
#1- We will start our morning tour with what
will surely become your new favorite breakfast,
that is the tofu scramble. This take on the
mundane scrambled eggs takes the dish to a
whole new level. This one here has be jazzed
up with kale, tomatoes, peppers, onions, and
mushrooms, but the possibilities are endless.
Imagine how good you’ll feel starting your
day with a serving of vegetables. The tricks
here are to use turmeric for color and black
salt to mimic the taste of the eggs you once
knew. Throw in some veggie sausage for fun.
#2- Next, we’re keeping it downright simple.
A bagel and cream cheese. This is the Daiya
brand of cream cheese, but check your grocery
store for what they may carry. Vegan butters
such as Earth Balance can be used here as
well or stick with the always-has-been-vegan
classics like jelly or peanut butter.
#3- Finally, we have something fast, cheap,
healthy, and delicious- peanut butter and
bananas. Add a couple vegan chocolate chips
to liven up your morning.
There’s no need to go too overboard at the
beginning of this challenge though. Your usual
morning breakfast can easily make the vegan
jump with a few tweaks. Trade out the cow’s
milk in your cereal for almond, soy, oat,
coconut, or cashew milk. Mix your favorite
fruits and nuts into your morning oatmeal.
You can whip up some incredible homefries
or check out the links below for recipes for
blueberry muffins or pancakes.
If you have any questions throughout the day,
reach out to your group leader. We are experienced
vegans who love to help you along the way.
Also, feel free to post recipes or photos
of your vegan creations on the group page.
Peace!
