30 Days of Vegan - What I Ate - Week I

I made it through week one of 30 days of Vegan , and I have to be honest, it wasn't that hard. However, we've been eating primarily vegetarian for about a year, so I already have a large variety of vegetarian meals that were easily made vegan. I think that anyone who eats meat as a centerpiece to their meal, would have a hard time eating vegan. So, for anyone who is interested in trying it, I recommended the vegetarian transition phase. I decided to record what I ate for anyone who is curious about what a week would look like including snacks, desserts and tea (or coffee). Here's what I ate:

Monday
Breakfast: Strawberries, blueberries and blackberry fruit salad with agave
Lunch: Pita Chips and Tabouleh
Snack: Chips and homemade corn and tomatillo salsa and Naked Green Machine Juice
Dinner: 3 homemade spring rolls with sticky rice
Dessert: 3 Back to Nature chocolate chunk cookies with almond milk

Tuesday
 Breakfast: Strawberries, blueberries and blackberry fruit salad with agave 
Lunch: Spring roll and sticky rice
Dinner: Spring mix salad with tomatoes, green onions and Annie's Natural (vegan) Goddess dressing and whole wheat spaghetti with homemade marinara
Dessert: 3 Back to Nature chocolate chunk cookies with almond milk

Wednesday
Breakfast: whole grain toast with almond butter

Sunday
