Day 2/7: Eat One Bite At A Time Level III
-
garv Totally agree
Can anyone suggest healthy vegan dinner ideas
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Since it's fall, chili is my go-to meal for dinner. It's easy to make vegan if you swap out animal stock for vegetable stock and ground meat with either tempeh or tofu. It's completely up to you so...

ManyaModi @darkchocolatepeanutbutter thanks for the advice 😊
-
annefood Hey @ManyaModi ! So glad you're trying to cook dinner more often! One of my favorite vegan meals is these Roasted Garbanzo Beans https://www.annefood.com/blog/fennel-roasted-garbanzo-beans with...
After being taunted by muffins and cookies at the coffee shop, happy to come home to make a giant bowl of veggies!
Day 1/3: Avoid Added Sugar Level II

garv This challenge will be a tough one for me!
Is eating dates acceptable during the no sugar challenge? I just couldn't resist that raw vegan gluten free cookie 🙊
simply raw bakery
Day 2/7: Avoid Added Sugar Level III
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yep! Acceptable. Try not to overdo it with dates because they are quite sweet, but they are a great replacement in desserts.
-
annefood Yes @DiotimeBoudoussier ! Naturally occurring sugars in dried fruit are okay in small quantities. Try to avoid "date sugar" because it lacks the fiber that whole dates have, but a cookie sweetened...
-
garv Eating a date early evening makes for a great sugar rush + it's nutritious! I add a few to my pre-run smoothie
Quick question , do dried cranberries have added sugar in them ?
-
annefood @Lazy_Nash good question! Unfortunately yes, most do. Since cranberries are so tart, they are always sweetened when dried. Occasionally you can find fruit juice sweetened dried cranberries at a...
-
JenniferEmilson Some health food stores do carry sour dried cranberries. In other words, no sugar added. When you find them, stock up!! 👌🏻
-
annefood Good to know @JenniferEmilson ! I've never seen them entirely unsweetened in all of my health food store travels.
There's a recipe to make your own Nutella!
Start with taking all the ingredients. You need:
- 2 cups skinned hazelnuts
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoon hazelnut oil OR walnut oil (plus more if needed)

Used my garden supplies to get in 3 servings of veggies at dinner! Zucchini, eggplant, kohlrabi, onions, and portobello 🍄
Seasoned with paprika, bay leaves, and topped with chutney made with cilantro and peppers from my garden :)

garv Cilantro &pepper chutney, nice!
Replace saturated fats from butter, lard, pastries,cream with unsaturated fats found in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, oily fish and avocados.
-
annefood Great tip !
-
SuzanneM 100% agree with this tip. I know there is a lot of info out there about fat making a comeback. But it's not about any fat. We need to be eating healthy fat!
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Love the tip @evasu! I just to clarify that a vegetable oil like coconut oil can also be saturated but it is still a great alternative.
Don't get more than you can eat and try eating slower since this balances out your digestive system allows you to become more full quickly.
-
Unpassions You guys got any questions?
-
KyFish What is your strategy for knowing how much you can eat? At cafeterias where I have to choose my own portions, I never seem to get it right.
-
Unpassions @KyFish First of all, try not to skip meals because skipping your meal may result in you with an abnormally large appetite. Second of all, try starting out with your veggies since these are always...
