I have been vegan for 3.5 years now and am struggling with bloating like never before. Yesterday, for example I had a pear, a salad with garbanzo beans, a green smoothie with fruit and hemp, broccoli...
I made the tempeh- bean balls this morning..so good and hearty!
Hey there! Don't be discouraged, as it's still early and you many notice your cravings/aversions will change! The only true aversion I had was to broccoli, which I used to eat every single day....
I think I am going to try this recipe tomorrow:

Thanks for all the replies, I'll let you know how it turns...
Yeah, falafel is made of chickpeas but usually fried, which I'm not interested in. I'll keep looking!
Thanks blueberries :)
I use Renew Life's organic chia seeds just about daily. I put one tablespoon in my daily protein shake. The actually soften up in the shake but do make it a bit thick so you have to drink it rather...
Just read about this book yesterday- I must get it! Let me ask, are there pictures included? I hate cookbooks without pictures :(
Pizza. Always Pizza.
And oven fries will do the trick as well..
Hi everyone,
I've been surfing the web for a good chickpea burger recipe but can't decide on one. Do you have a favorite recipe to share? Thanks!
Hi there. I don't eat gluten free everyday but I certainly feel better when I do.
As for bread, there are plenty of gluten free options, my favorite being a Millet Bread by Food For Life. Note,...
We hired a doula but I am still giving birth in a hospital setting. I really wanted a water birth but I might save that for Baby #2 :)
I'm curious to know if there is any correlations whatsoever between eating a vegan diet and having an "easy" pregnancy. What I mean by easy is not miserable like so many people seem to be while...
Neptunus - I'll invite you over! I haven't had pancakes in years!
OMG, that is hilarious!!
And what on earth is a Pingu??
Ha ha! I love how it's almost all gone in the picture! I bet it was delish!
Well thank you!
I have yet to try the non-red variety of quinoa. All I know is that I was hooked from day #1!
Quinoa Salad I made this afternoon.
Ingredients consist of: quinoa, cherry tomatoes, black beans, cucumbers, carrots, scallions, oil and vinegar
I got the recipe in an email this week from VegWeb...
MY goodness! Those were some delicious looking coconut balls! Wowzers!
Hey, thanks!! I definitely need to get the rolls tighter. I didn't even think about rolling them the other way. Is it much easier??
Here are pictures from me and my boy's first attempt at sushi rolling. We certainly learned one thing- the less rice the better!! Hopefully we'll get the hang of this...

Girl....
Your meals sound delicious! Everything bagles ROCK!
As for dinner, was that out or home-made? What kind of vegan cheese do you use for you nachos?
I just finished eating but your list...
B: Whole Wheat toast w/ avocado
Lunch: Edamame w/ boca patty
Snack: 1/2 Apple
Post Workout: Peaceful Planet soy shake w/ unsweetened Soy milk and Super reds
Dinner: TBD but probably tofu w/...
Too gluttonous and selfish to make the change.
Put my love of certain foods (cheese) over my love of animals.
Let my food issues get the best of me.
The list goes on...
Honestly? I keep it simple. Fruit and a protein like a shake with soy milk. Maybe even a handful of almonds in there :)
Thanks DiaShel,
I appreciate the support.
You guys are all awesome!
I'm so glad I re-discovered this place.
Is your boyfriend a vegetarian?
Thanks Harpy,
I'm actually very happy that my boy has stopped eating meat (still eats seafood) ever since I showed him "Meet your Meat" back in December. He isn't willing to give up fish and...
Thanks Matt.
I appreciate the words!
I was worried about my entry cause it sounds so selfish.
On day #3 and going strong!
Hi everyone!!
I joined this forum last year as a vegan but am ashamed to say that my efforts didn't last more than 5 months. I've tried again, countless times but haven't done my best (obviously)...
I think the whole soy debate is something you have to research and then decide for yourself. There are so many articles (and health gurus) against any and all consumption, and then others who say...
Veggiemaya:I worked in a health food store (briefly) and learned a lot about this sort of thing. I never tried probiotics but I did find that they are becoming very popular (especially for people who...
I take digestive enzymes and find that they definitely help me. I can recommend a vegan brand if you'd like that is specifically formulated to help break down carbohydrates from vegetables, legumes...
Too much coffee w/ unsweetened soymilk
Smartdog w/ grape tomatoes and mustard (weird, I know)
Superseed Shake
Soybean Pasta w/ Marinara sauce
(all organic, of course)
