Oprah’s 21-Day Cleanse Vegan Recipes
We applaud Oprah Winfrey’s 21-day cleanse to jump-start her “inner makeover.” Vowing to forgo caffeine, sugar, alcohol, gluten and animal products, Oprah hopes to become a “conscious eater.” Easy for Oprah–along with the 21-day cleanse came master vegetarian chef Tal Ronnen! If only the rest of us had it so easy. For those of you who would like to join Oprah in the 21-day cleanse, the question is: How to do it without a gourmet chef providing three square meals, and snacks, a day?!
At Care2 we have long advocated for conscious eating, and we have a host of recipes to show for it. We have selected some of our most satisfying, cleansing favorites to share with you, whether you’re joining Oprah for 21 days or not. You can even cheer Oprah on by signing the Care2 petition. Enjoy, and happy inner makeover!

I was vegetarian for 15 years, vegan for 5 of those years, and my health was no better or worse than it is today.
I was appalled at all of the faux meat products my vegan friends ate, filled with more sodium, nitrates, colourings, and artificial flavours than their "more natural/omnivore" counterparts. Plus, the faux-meat products were generally disgusting (even mock-apple pie was more convincing). When I wasn't eating meat, the last thing I needed was a poor replacement for item X which made me crave the real thing more tempting.
It's easy to make standard fare vegetarian--just remove the meat. Lasagne doesn't need a meat sauce. Pizza doesn't need pepperoni. Gazpacho is awesome, as are grilled vegetables and guacamole. Raw is great too, and far more filling and satisfying. Mashed bananas can be used instead of butter or oil in baked goods.
I respect everyone's choices for what they choose to eat, but simply don't appreciate it when someone criticises in a self-righteous manner.

In regards to cutting down on sweets, I find that rice syrup makes a fine substitue for maple syrup.

I respect your views though I am not vegan. In my household we do try to have three meals a week, that are vegan however. This may not sound like much until you consider that the only meals we eat are dinner.

Hmmm Krystina...I know about anti yeast diets and follow being vegan. For me that means no wheat, no sugar, no alcohol, and no or very little sweet fruits. The carbs from whole foods are not a problem. Brown rice, for example is perfectly OK. I know some avoid corn, corn does not bother me, really.
As for calcium and milk...yes it has a lot of calcium but it is contraindicated by the protein in it. Animal protein leeches calcium from the bones. It's a problem of calcium loss rather gain.
It was interesting, I had my pinky toe operated on about a year ago and the doctor said my bones were very strong. I am 41 years old. He asks how this was so. I said, well, I don't do dairy and then informed him how animal products leech calcium from the bones. Think of all the large animals that have huge bone mass who eat only grass...elephants, giraffes, cows...it's grass and vegetable matter that form strong bones, NOT Calcium.

Where is the SCIENTIFIC evidence that dairy calcium is not absorbed and is bad for you?
