EASY VEGAN BANANA PANCAKES

The life of a soon to be vegetarian has its days but you know you’re getting close to vegetarian when your palette no longer likes the taste of turkey. 

Finding and creating different meals has always been pretty easy for me but researching the simple things to substitute was a challenge. Playing around with food is all science and measurements. So I kept playing around with the pursuit pancakism. 

My recipe consists of easy ingredients you should already have stored in your pantry.

THE BEGINNING -21 Day Health Challenge

When I think about eating, I think about what’s best for my body long term. Most of us have gotten warped in the new society of gmos, toxins and harmful chemicals in our foods.  Eating for YOU has essentially become harder so I decided to create a 21 day health challenge to get myself on the right track.

Day one wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be but going to Philly on the first day of my detox was definitely a challenge. Having meals prepped and ready to go, made my commitment smoother.

The meals were not too bad and craving for sweet and savory items didn’t exist. Prepping and cook time for each meal was no more than 20 minutes including prep time and best of all, I lost 3lbs in 4 days.

I am still in the first phase, mid-week and I wanted to share my progress on FOOD JUNKIE 21’s -21 Day Health Challenge.

If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook, you will see an array of images.

These are just a few of my favorites. The Lettuce hand sandwich smothered in hummus. Sweet potato stir fry, Egg & Vegetable scramble w Quinoa and Chickpeas, and a Green Smoothie.
