I am posting about my Vegan journey at www.ginabianchi.com

The about section describes a little (or a lot) about my dietary history and goal for the blog. I have one post so far, haha.

Enjoy (if you are interested)!

I learned tonight why vegans can't drink wine!! Who knew?

[1ginacolada]

Yes they can! Certain kinds are okay! It just can't have been filtered through animal products.

Indeed...I just never realized egg whites and fish bones are used in winemaking! Seems so random.

there are lots of random things like that. Like a lot of refine sugar is processed through animal bones.

Hmm I clicked on the link and it didn't work for me. I just found out I apparently have high cholesterol so I think I'm going to work more veggies in my diet. I was also thinking of maybe having shakes in the morning for breakfast regularly. Do you have any suggestions of any healthy, easy shakes to make? I figure you might know from all your Jamba experience =)

It should work. I just updated it a minute ago and it appears to be working. Give it another try.

I don't drink any shakes really... as for smoothies, my favorite thing is just soymilk, strawberries and bananas. Simple but so good if you make it thick (use a minimal amount of soymilk). But really you can put anything is a blender. I recommend buying frozen fruit because fresh fruit will make your smoothie runny. But then again, fresh fruit is better for you... so it depends what you are going for. :)

As for veggie smoothies, I haven't tried any yet. If I run across anything I will let you know. I always hear about green smoothies that are good for you and have veggies and spinach and stuff in them, but I have mixed feelings on how much I would actually enjoy this type of thing.

K it worked for me now! That mac and cheese actually looks really good lol. Too bad it didnt taste good. Maybe I'll try some collard greens!

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll def haveta try that. Just hope it will be filling enough to count as my full breakfast.
