Starts with a coconut milk and raspberry smoothy which tasted kinda weird. I think I will try coconut water instead. The only thing is I’m not sure which of the coconut water’s is a sustainable product and not the one being marketed by the guys who originally started Sobey’s beverages. I met a marine biologist who is the brother (ironically) of one of the executives there and he tells me that they exploit third world countries and steal their resources like water, coconuts, whatever, then pump and dump their new revolutionary ‘health’ drink, make millions and then move on to the next project. Maybe I will just use some soy milk instead.
So anyway, I get a sick stomach all morning at work from this shake and Im feeling gross and tired. It might have something to do with the binge of McDonalds I had before I started the challenge.
Lunch consists of a salad from my own garden and stuffed fake chickeny thing which would have tasted so much better if everyone else around me wasn’t consuming delicious smelling grilled meats with fatty sauce. I’m really looking forward to the end of the day and having a nice dinner out with my boyfriend.
We arrive at the Wallflower for vegan pizza night. I’m so excited for this – its got to be good.
I walk in and instantly know the girls at the bar are who we are meeting. They must be the vegans because they’re skin is so healthy and glowing .

This is where I describe the meal I guess. So just like Jammer I’m starved and the Wallflower did not disappoint. Really the best moment was when Janine asked for a vegan caesar. Boy did that blow the servers top. Big thanks to miss burns for the care package of blueberry scones, granola, vegan cheese made out of astronaut something (Daiya), kelp, & yeast powder. Oh I guess we should describe the food.
Mac and Cheese with vegan weenies – tasty stuff here, and smooth creamy goodness.
Pizza – I loved the veganroni! It tasted amazing and the gluten free crust was interesting if not a magical feat.
Thunder Fries – yummmmmmm. This was probably my fave. I’ts better than chili fries with out the death farts. Yummy.
The best part was I left energetic and happy. Thanks Vegan Project!
Interesting point on the coconut water Janine. We will do some research and report back. Best of luck on Day 2!
Eek. Not happy about the Coconut water facts.
