Make Me a Vegan

Breakfast I’m going fishing today so I had to have a quick little breakfast. I thought that a Kellog’s Nutri-Grain Cereal Bar would be vegan, but after checking their website, there is a warning that states: CONTAINS WHEAT, MILK AND SOY INGREDIENTS. Wish me luck on the fishing though. Wait, fishing cannot be vegan. At least, I practice catch and release, meaning after I catch the fish I throw the little guy back. Double fail today and it’s only 8:30 in the morning. Zoom

Snack I made myself some Steelcut Oatmeal from Trader Joe’s. The ingredients inside the oatmeal are all vegan, but there is a warning label below the ingredients that says: Made on shared equipment with soy wheat, milk ingredients & shellfish. Facility processes tree nuts and fish. Therefore, this might not be vegan to some seasoned, hardcore vegans but for me I’m going to count it as vegan. So far today, I have been 100% vegan. Ingredients: Water Steelcut oats Brown sugar Maple syrup Rolled oats Salt Zoom
