21 Day Vegan Challenge!

In honor of national vegan day (yesterday) my husband and I are embarking on a 21 day vegan challenge! I've never been a die-hard meat fan, asides from an occasional juicy chicken wing that I can never seem to resist.... Wings only for me, drums for the husband... If that doesn't scream match made in heaven, I don't know what does! Anyways, back to the vegan thing, a girlfriend of mine recently went vegan and LOVED it! I figured given I'm not a huge meat fan I would give this challenge a shot and see if I felt as great after as she did!  

I meal prepped for a few days and here is what I made:

Breakfast-Overnight oats using coconut milk
Lunch- A colorful, veggie and quinoa salad dressed with an amazing lemon, curry vinaigrette! (made 7 1 cup servings) and a side of creamy, dairy free, carrot and roasted red pepper soup 
Snack- Oranges


Dinners- Tonight we are having a vegan, cauliflower crust pizza that I plan to top with garlic hummus, some dollops of roasted red pepper spread, kalamata olives, diced tomato and Flavorgod lemon garlic seasoning

It's only been 1 day but so far so good!  Neither of us seemed too hungry and everything I made was really good!!

**Disclaimer: To get my husband on board I was very selective in what I told him about "going vegan" he may or may not think I am still putting cheese and milk in his food.**
