I started the day with a Pop Eye smoothie – minus the protein powder as I’ve not got any! This was delicious anyhow – one of my favourites! It was blended spinach, a frozen banana, and almond butter – I skipped the protein powder and half of the almond milk. This came to 248 calories.

Apologies for the lateness of my post – I did finish the challenge as scheduled last week, during a very hectic deadline, so I’ve only just managed to get the time to post about the final two days. If you want to find out where the journey started head to day zero here!

Smoothie for breakfast three days in a row! I quite like getting in my veggies so early in the morning, and today’s Lean Green Juice was delicious – kale, spinach, a frozen banana, two green apples and a lemon. However, I am definitely looking forward to eating something solid for tomorrow’s breakfast (bruschetta!) The calorie count for this was 313.

Another day, another juice: Orange You Happy. This was made with one grapefruit, two oranges, a lemon and some ginger. I only used half a lemon – too much acid in one glass for me, otherwise! Calories were 211.

I’m nearing the end of my 22-day vegan challenge. To find out more about Marco Borges’ 22-Day Revolution, and begin with day zero, click here!

Still feeling a bit delicate this morning, I decided to change my Breathe Juice from the original recipe of four stalks of celery, a cucumber, two peeled lemons and spinach. Instead, I used just one stalk of celery, plus an orange in place of one of the lemons, and I also added an apple for sweetness. It was still just 184 calories. I’d seriously love to invest in a proper juicer so I can blend these a bit better!

It’s day 14 of my 22-day vegan challenge – the end of my second week! If you want to find out more about Marco Borges’ 22-Day Revolution, and begin with day zero, click here!

I had a mini disaster this morning, because one of the two beetroots I’d bought for today’s juice turned out to be rotten! So, my juice was just one beetroot, plus an apple, a lime (no more lemons!), and a cucumber. A fairly decent portion for 155, although adding the lime really made it pretty sour.

Make sure you always read ahead on the plan, because sometimes you have to make some things the day before! Today’s breakfast was overnight oats – oats soaked in almond milk overnight, topped with flaxseed and fruit. With a banana on top, this was 325 calories.

Day 12 began with a big serving of Extra C Juice, packed with orange, carrots, celery, lemon and ginger. It was thick and a little bit bitter thanks to the celery and ginger, but I really enjoy starting the day with so many fruit and veg! Two huge glasses came in at 163 calories.

If you’re like me, you probably had a cheeky flick through the book to find out some of the highlights of the diet, and found today’s recipe for French toast – and then got pretty excited. I’m not ashamed to say I’ve been looking forward to this for quite a while, and after a bit of trial and error, I have to say I really enjoyed it!

It’s day nine of my vegan diet challenge! If you want to find out more about Marco Borges’ 22-Day Revolution, and begin with day zero, click here!

Day ten began with a glass of All You Need Is a Cape Juice – with a really involved list of ingredients! Good job it was Sunday morning so I had plenty of time to prepare everything! You need spinach, kale, cucumber, lemon, ginger, fresh turmeric, parsley, carrots and a Granny Smith apple. I was going to sub dried turmeric for the raw in this recipe as suggested in the book, but luckily I stumbled across some in Rice Up Wholefoods while I was stocking up!
