Day 6 : Journal - 1st Vegan Drink

Hey everyone, Mosno here,
Today, I was FULL of energy, for no amn reason hahaha. I woke up, earlier than usual, and just kept wanting to just..move, felt great. For my lunch I had some of the leftover of the Seitan dish I made (see the dishes section), and now I made my 1st smoothie.

You know your meant to be Vegan when you go from relying on fast food to cooking AND making your own drinks, in 6 days! And LOVE it!

Today I made the investment in buying one of those one serve blenders,  I figure juices & smoothies should be consumed right away, so no need for a huge one.

Today' experimental smoothie had:
-A handful of Dates (about 4 or 5)
-A handful of frozen Strawberries
-What I could cut up of a mango
-Added Vanilla Almond Milk
-Blend & Enjoy

I have to say, this is pretty awesome, except the cutting up the mango part,  that was annoying hahaha.
The mixture of the Vanilla Almond Milk & the Dates add a very awesome sweetness, I didn't need to add Agave or anything, I'm enjoying it as I type this up ight now :)

I hope this was helpful
I'll blog you soon

Much Love
Mosno :)

Lets Date!

Being a Sudanese I have weakness towards Dates, I LOVE that fruit, and I was like a kid in a candy store once I found that my local Giant sells dates! the nice big lumpy ones too.
I am a sweet tooth as I mentioned in an earlier post, so one of my favorite things to do is "make up" desserts.
Well this one is a traditional Morrocon desert, but I TOTALLY Veganized it, YESS!



The Ingredients:
-Dates (Caramel Naturel or your favorite kind)
-Almond/Soy Milk
Since I want this to be sweet, I use Vanilla Almond Milk.

The Steps:
1. You heat up some milk (1 or 2 cups depends on what you like)
2. Take out the pits of the dates (you can also cut them into little pieces if you like)
3. Place cut up dates into a mug or two
4. Pour the hot milk into the Date filled mugs
5. Let it sit for a few minutes, then put in the fridge
6. Enjoy it later on that day

I found this to be easy, and delicious. Its good to make these in the morning, and then have them cool in the fridge for a nice snack or dessert later that night.

Let me know what you think?
Much Love
Mosno
