Day 1 of the Vegan-anator

There is no doubt, when I eat vegan, my body just feels so much better.  I can definitely tell how much harder my body has to work to process meat proteins.  I do like to make fruit and vegetable juices, and a couple months ago when I was heavily into "juicing" I blew out two blenders, so I just went and got the Ninja, which I so far really love! 
So my day started with a handfull of Kale(I know, not tasty, but it is so good for you), approx a cup of blueberries, raspberries, an apple, and a few baby carrots, cup of water, and a scoop of Plant Fusion, which is a vegan protein powder.  That made enough for two drinks to take me up to noon.
I then made my own hummus(or something of the sorts) for lunch.  I used probably 10 spears of broccoli, 2 green onions, 2 cloves of garlic, a handful of parsely, 2 tbsp of olive oil, and 2tbsp of vinegar and a can of well rinsed chick peas.  I used my Ninja and blended it into a paste.  For lunch I had about 1/2 cup with 3 pieces of pumpernickel bread (they are appetizer size bread, about 2" by 2") and spread the hummus on the bread.  I thought it was so good.
A couple hours later I had a handful of almonds.  An hour or so later I had about 1/2 cup of Kashi cereal dry to snack on.  I left for work and took my 1/2 cup of hummus with 3 pieces of bread, which I ate around 7.  At 8pm I had an apple, and when i got home from work around 10pm, I had a big salad of romaine lettuce, cucumber, sliced almonds, tomatoes,  and red wine vinagrette dressing.
I rode for 30 minutes on the stationary bike for some cardio work. 
Felt great today and hope day 2 goes great too!  Health and Happiness!
