kashi

ok, as i said in my "about me" post, i'm in the army @ an AFB. well, we get to stay in these neat little rooms that have microwaves, and fridges, and freezers. i have a rice cooker that i bought on my own. it's very convienent... anyways, i like to plan my meals for the week on saturday/sunday. so, since i'm trying very hard to be vegan, i decided to plan as follows:
Monday:
breakfast: 1/2 c. oatmeal mixed with 1c. grapes, 1/2 banana
lunch: soup, if it's vegan, and a big salad with whatever vegetables there are available, brown rice if they have it.
dinner: Amy's vegan pizza (the cheeseless one with all of the roasted veggies on it... did you know they make a personal sized one? i just found out!) with a glass of herbal tea, sweatened by agave nectar
snack in between breakfast and lunch: an apple or pear, whatever looks more apitizing when i grab it in the morning.
snack in between lunch and dinner: an apple or pear, whichever one i haven't eaten yet ;)

our workout time is getting changed from 0600 to 1530, or around then... so, my breakfast can be lighter now, because i didn't JUST work out, my lunch can just be lunch...nothing special... and my dinner is where the protein needs to kick in, because i'll have just worked out with my running group, plus gone and worked out on my own. hurray for gyms!

well, i'll post again tomorrow and let whoever is maybe reading this know how it goes. my goal is just to be vegan for a month. but, it's gonna be the kind like in TKD. as little processed foods as possible, (i know, the title is kashi, give me a second to explain) and without white sugar or flour... actually no sugar. maple syrup or agave nectar only! once i do it for a month, i'll re evaluate, and decide what to do from there!!!

kashi: the world's greatest frozen dinner makers. i know it says above that i'm going to try and stay away from processed foods, but i don't think kashi as very bad at all. and, to top it off, they have MULTIPLE vegan (and vegetarian) dishes to choose from! i just had the Tuscan Veggie Bake. AMAZING. that's all i've got to describe it. it was a little expensive, but sometimes, it's cheeper because i'm not buying for a family of 8, i'm buying for just me. so i don't need to buy all 8 tortillas, i only need 1. thank you kashi. my next one to try is going to be the black bean mango... but i dont' know where to find it... oh well, i'll try!! go kashi!
