Meatless Monday is about making every effort to eat more veggies just one day a week. Take a look at my delicious lunchtime meal for the day and hope to inspire some of you.

I had the transformer at Fresh Restaurant on Eglinton avenue East. It is a salad full of goodies such as quinoa, avocado, cashew scallion paté, sikil pak, marinated tofu cubes and adzuki beans, chick peas, edamame, cucumber, heirloom grape tomatoes, lettuce and raw green wrap with carrot miso dressing.

Coconut Yogurt

.Reading time 1 minute.

RAWFOOD

This homemade recipe is so easy and delicious- a great dessert or snack for your day as well!
**Coconut Yogurt**
3 thai coconuts- meat only
1 cup fresh thai coconut water
1-2 probiotic capsules or 1/2 t loose probiotic powder

Blend these ingredients in the blender until very smooth. Store in clean glass containers and let sit on the counter for at least 4 hours or overnight. Make sure to cover the yogurt while it’s fermenting with a piece of cheesecloth or paper napkin so it allows the yogurt to breathe. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days- but let’s be real, it won’t last that long because its too darn yummy! Cheers.

**Chocolate Coconut Yogurt**
1 cup coconut yogurt
1 date
1 T raw cacao

I love the chocolate version of this coconut yogurt- Simply divide the coconut yogurt recipe and add a date and raw cacao- so simple and crazy delicious. Recipe inspired by raw food recipes.

22 Days Challenge

.Reading time 2 minutes.

I know what you must be thinking… For those who already know, i’m not going to deny it! Yes, I have been inspired lately. Some of my friends went through different “body cleanse” (a form of extreme cleanse diet) and I was not sure if I wanted to do the same thing. Then, on Tuesday..when I read that Jay Z and Bey were doing a 22 days vegan challenge “a plant-base breakfast” everyday… I said: Why not now!

Vegan Challenge

Why not start my own 22 days vegan challenge now with the groceries I have and find different recipe as I go along. Plus, I can always rely on 2 of my favorite vegan restaurants Fresh (Fresh – Since 1999) and Live (Live Food Bar) to save my food or craving days. Why now ? I wanted to do a physical cleanse for a while and to challenge myself a bit more. Also, my birthday was last Monday and it’s one of the most beautiful gift I could give to myself…to simply try to maintain a healthy lifestyle for myself, my family and my entourage.

So here we go! I will post my progress and to the professional vegan, please feel free to share any tips or recipes you may have. It will be much appreciated. I don’t know what happens after the 22 days…We’ll see. And no, my boys are not joining me in this challenge.

Wish me luck!!!
