Monday Mango Mayhem, day 1 a Vegan

So my first day as a born again vegan couldn't have gone any better. Yesterday was mostly a fruity tuty day filled with delicious goodness mmm....
I know it's only day one but I already feel a massive change, it's probably the thought of  all those veggies swimming around in my soon to hot body ;).

Thought the day I had an apple, banana, and a box of the most crunchy sweetest red grapes in the history of grapes, but for my main meal devoured a Monday Mango&cabbage coleslaw.

This consisted of, mango, white cabbage, red onions, carrots, cucumber, and tomatoes.
For seasoning I used coriander and mint leaves with a mini pinch of salt and black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil and lime.
There really isn't much instructions to making this, you just add everything into a bowl, mix and enjoy your beautiful looking salad. Once my laptop is working as it should, I'll upload the picture of my Monday Mango&Cabbage coleslaw.
So try it out for yourself it's so simply and naturally yummy.

What' a vegan?

So what exactly is a vegan? There has been such a buzz around the vegan lifestyle recently, and I'm pretty sure 90% of you know what is, but just in case there's a few of you living in caves lol I'll give you a quick summery.

Essentially, a vegan is a person who abstains from eating or using all animal products. This includes, but definitely isn't limited to:

- Meat (Beef, Pork, Chicken, Fish, Antelope, Squirrel, you get the idea)
- Dairy (Cheese, Milk, Ice Cream, Sour Cream, Heavy Cream, Whipping Cream...)
- Eggs (They were almost chickens, and definitely an animal product)
- Leather (Here's a hint, they don't remove it surgically...)
- Honey (Kind of a stretch, but bees are animals. So it's an animal product)
- Wool (The sheep aren't killed to get it, but the practice of raising them is not very nice)

Of course, there aren't always easy choices. Honey can be debated since it doesn't use many resources to grow bees, they help pollinate, and usually aren't killed to harvest the honey. A couple other things to be aware of are:

- Beer (If isinglass or a similar animal-based clearing agent is used, it ain't vegan)
- Restaurant food (Just because you know what a vegan eats doesn't mean the cook at Applebee's does)
- Gelatin (Usually made from animal hooves. Seriously)
- Vegetarian foods (Vegetarian does NOT necessarily mean vegan)
- Kosher foods (Again, not the same thing)
- Organic foods (Better than not-organic, but not vegan)
- Veggie Cheese (Didn't know they had veggie cheese until today, but Rennet binds cheese together and comes from cow stomachs. Make sure the rennet is veggie-based before partaking)

If you still are curious what exactly a vegan is, there are TONS of sites out there with information for the curious and interested.

So bright and early on a beautiful Monday morning I will be starting my 31 days vegan challenge, can't wait! I will take photos of my daily meals as we'll as adding the recipes.
