Inspired by Alicia Silverstone's "The Kind Diet" and Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food," we want to experience the vegan lifestyle to improve our health, boycott animal suffering, and reduce our carbon footprint.

Day 5 - SPP Cleanse

My favorite grain is unfortunately not approved for this SPP Cleanse.  The horror!  Quinoa is barely a grain, however!  It is a "pseudocereal" and is actually closely related to the spinach family!  (Thanks for the tip, sister!)  It's really nutritious, has a slightly nutty flavor, and is easy to cook.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinoa


Cleanse Update:
I am feeling good!  Yes, I splurged on that lil cupcake yesterday, but I didn't have any adverse physical reactions, thankfully.  That has been the only time I've veered off course.  Overall, I feel healthy, in control, and happy!  I've lost a couple pounds and feel comfortable and confident in my skin.  yay!

Eating Journal:
-smoothie (banana, apple, blueberries, strawberries, carrot, spinach, flaxseed oil)
-brown rice, sauteed kale/onions, salad with guacamole and salsa
-sauteed cabbage & roasted cauliflower
-same smoothie
-3 rice crackers with hot salsa
-apple
