Vegan Week (Post #4)

Welcome back to Holy- Guaca- Lola! As you know, a few months ago I tried to be Vegan for a week which is very hard.  When I first started being Vegan I tried to make it similar to the lifestyle I live now by not making drastic changes. In the mornings, for breakfast I would have smoothies with fresh fruit but normally I eat cereal. One morning I decided to try cereal with almond milk but it made my stomach a little topsy-turnsy and tasted like watery sugar.  I did not give up on the idea of cereal and milk and next tried making it with coconut milk. I thought this gave an interesting taste but I could definitely not eat an entire bowl of cereal with coconut milk. As the week went on I learned that Veganisum made my carbon footprint smaller. If you don't know what a carbon footprint is, it is how much you contribute to the environment so, the less meat and energy you use the better your carbon footprint is :). Things got harder and harder but, I picked out a few favorite meals! My favorite sweet vegan treat was nice-cream (a dairy free ice cream) which you can even make at home using frozen fruit and bananas along with matcha or coco powder (optional). It's amazing how the consistency of this ice cream is smooth like fro-yo but has delicious chunks and is totally customizable. My favorite dinner was crispy tofu over brown rice. This meal gave a nice chew and had a good sweet and salty flavor in the sauce. Towards the end of the week I broke...and ate a totally non vegan piece of cake and a glass of milk...This week was a roller coaster of feelings and all I can say is thank you to all the Vegans who are miracles and absolutely insane! Thanks for reading! Have a tasteful day.
