Before I talk about the Vegan challenge, I would like to let you all know that I have started my Personal Trainer and Fitness instructor course last week! It was intense, learning tonnes of theories from 8:30am to 4pm followed by an hour and half of practical. But I absolutely love it! I will be qualified in October.
22 Day Vegan Challenge
You must have heard of the 22 Day Vegan Challenge from Beyonce and Jay-Z right? I think that's how it got popular. In fact, the challenge is also known as the Beyonce Vegan diet. Beyonce enjoyed the diet so much that she partnered with her personal trainer and launched a 22 Day Vegan Meal delivery service.
If you haven't heard of the challenge then let me quickly explain. It's simply having vegan food for 22 days. Why 22 days? Because apparently it takes 21 days to break or make a habit.
I have decided to challenge myself to be a vegan for a month! In my head, I'm thinking this will be quite difficult because I love cheese, greek yoghurt, eggs and cakes. But I just need to hypnotise myself to think tofu is egg, avocado is butter or cream cheese (when mashed onto a toast) and so on. I'm only joking. My diet generally consists of vegan meals anyways so I'm not too worried. I can just look for vegan cakes! Those who live in London, there's a vegan bakery in Camden Town called Cookies & Scream.
So here's my meal plan for week 1. Vegans, I am open for suggestions.
Sweet potato pancakes- It is gluten and guilt free.
I used:
- 1 1/2 cup of oats
- 1 baked sweet potato
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup of almond milk
- 1 tsp of baking soda by accident! (I was meant to use baking powder.)
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
I just blended everything together in a blender. Added a bit of oil on the pan and then spooned in the batter. Cooked each side for about 2 minutes.
They were a bit bitter as I used baking soda by accident. Otherwise would have been perfect :(
I will be blogging weekly about my 22 day vegan diet so stay tuned!
