Veganuary Days 15 & 16

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've all had a good week and 'Veganuary' is still going well for you. I added something different to my lunch this week... 'Alpro' soya yoghurt's, of which I have a few flavours. The vanilla ones are my favourite.

I had a really random dinner yesterday because I had noodles from 'Lidl' that I was desperate to try and my baby corn was going to go bad if I didn't eat them quick and also the rest of my tofu wieners which I had opened a couple of days ago. Anyone would think I was a student trying to make do with what was left in the cupboards. The noodles are a bargain 18p each and states on the back of the packaging that they are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. They're not bad but a little bland but worked well with the tofu wieners.

Today's dinner consisted of more noodles but Chow Mein style. I used 'Fry's' thick cut chunky strips which I enjoyed with 'Blue Dragon' sauce. Now I could literally explode from eating too much.

Veganuary Day 1

Firstly I would like to wish my readers a happy and healthy new year... I hope you're not feeling worse for wear after the celebrations last night. Fortunately for me I gave up alcohol two years ago, mainly for health reasons so that's one less thing I have to worry about during 'Veganuary'. I started my day with two slices of peanut butter on toast made with 'Hovis' white medium bread, 'Pure' sunflower spread and 'Whole Earth' smooth peanut butter washed down with a cup of tea made with almond milk. 'Hovis' are pretty good at stating their bread is vegan but always check the packaging.

I totally skipped lunch as I had been snacking on 'Pringles' (Original flavour) and as you know once you pop you just can't stop. I had dinner a little earlier than usual but I was looking forward to trying a new product, the 'Cheatin' Celebration Roast by 'VBites' which I picked up from 'Holland and Barrett'.

Roast potatoes, carrots and parsnips accompanied the fake meat products drizzled with 'Bisto' gravy (the one in the red pot). I only used half of what was in the box as there was enough for two meals so I put the other half back in the freezer for another day. It wasn't amazing but it was ok and I liked it.

For desert I had some lovely strawberries topped with lashings of 'Alpro' soya, single cream. I would like to try and consume more fruits during 'Veganuary' as I very rarely eat them. I have apples mainly for lunch at work but that's about it so I'm looking forward to the change.

So that's how my first day of Veganuary went. I'm now off to make myself another cup of tea and settle down in front of the T.V before the shock of returning back to work tomorrow really hits me.
