Quick NoteMany of the members of our team are 95% vegan and about 5% meat-eating on a daily basis. That means that most days are plant-based with a few days throughout the month or week that include fish or another lean protein. Also, only one of us consumes eggs on a regular basis. We all agree that consuming wholesome food that doesn't come out of a box is the best way to go. Some might call that Paleo; we call it being human because fads are lame. Eating "clean" or "primal" are just fancy marketing tools people use to make money. We aren't those people; we are the people who will tell you that if you want to eat grains, go ahead. If you don't, that's also okay. Eating for life is important. Our team has decided that we are going to go 100% vegan for the next month and we would like to invite you to join the bandwagon. The motive behind this is simple: eat right and see how the body feels when you lower the level of crap and increase the level of veggies in the diet. To make it easy, we have set out a 4-week plan that includes all of the recipes for each day. You can easily print it out too! Hooray! We're excited and we would love to hear what you think about the challenge. DAY 1 Breakfast Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Makes 2 1-cup servings Ingredients
