Week 2 - Update and what I ate this week

An interesting week to remember, not without a challenge through.

Week 2 update.

I received PETA Vegan Starter Kit magazine this week. It contains a lot of useful information for a beginner like me, plus some yummy recipes to try out.  

Another exciting event is I baked a vegan cake. I am so happy to discover an easy recipe, thanks to the vegan corner.

My body: overall very well. This week I didn't feel hunger like the first week shortly after my meals. My tummy is calmer this week too. 

Sadly Thursday evening me and my little man got cold. We are on a road to recovery now, but you will see a bit less photos of my meals this week. I usually eat very simple and light when I get unwell. Plus looking after myself and the little buba kept me busy. 

My kitchen: Not much happened, but definitely more vegetables in the fridge and fruits in the basket. I prefer almond milk to soya at the moment. 

My boys: eat as usual. My husband voiced a concern, what will I eat when we will go out. Will be interesting to find out.

What I ate this week.

Snacks:

I had fresh and dry fruits, nuts and crackers for snacks. If at home tea and toast with jam or crunchy peanut butter. But my favourite this week was cup of green tea with a cake.  

Drinks:

I bought new green tea with flower petals. It tastes delicious without any sweetener.

Next step.

I think next step is a smoothie. Do you have a recipe of a simple, full of nutrients and delicious smoothie, leave a comment below.
