Did you hear people are competing for 100SBD, right here, right now? That's right, I'm giving away 100SBD to get people to try vegan food!
Am I crazy? ("That's a lotta moolah, Cece" you might say.)
No. I'm not crazy (wait, yes I am but that's another story altogether) ;)
I just genuinely want more people to experience the same thing I did.
What am I talking about?
Short, sweet and simple because this post is about the challenge, not me.
I stopped eating animal products and my life changed.
I talk about the benefits I have received all of the time so I won't get into that more here. What I really want to do is introduce you to the 5 amazing women who have agreed to compete in my 22 day challenge!
What's up for grabs:
100 of my hard earned SBD ;)
The rules:
You can check out the original post here!
Update 1 here!
But to put it simply: THE CONTESTANTS MUST EAT VEGAN FOR 22 DAYS!
Why?
21 days is psychologically proven to be the amount of time needed to break a habit.
I hope that this challenge will inspire what a vegan lifestyle can offer!
Without further ado,
Meet the players!
@paolapaopoly
Poly is doing an amazing job showing off her culinary skills. She's no newbie when it comes to creating vegan food but this challenge is about her taking on veganism in her own life. I love watching her recipes come in and I am sure you will too!
How about this blackberry cake for example?
I'm impressed with her amazing recipes that keep coming! She's certainly a shining example of what can be made vegan! Keep up the amazing job Poly! Your food is incredible!

@splendorhub
Nora will never disappoint! She had me excited for her own veganized pizza and she just shared it in all of its glory here! Of course that's not all she's got- check out her meals to be inspired!
I love watching @splendorhubs meals come in through her posts, she's got a great, positive attitude and I really can't wait to see how this turns out for her!

@itinerantartist
So, Breanna made me laugh the other day recounting her experiences being vegan while her friends, not so much. You're going to have to check out her updates but she is extremely dedicated to this contest and I love how much effort she puts into ensuring she's not getting any animal products hidden anywhere in her meals!

@kubbyelizabeth
Kubby was one of the first people I met on Steemit and I think she's seen enough of my recipes to entice her to play along for 22 days. Against the odds of everyone telling her not to take this on, she's giving it a go! Let's root her on!

@iseeyouvee
Vee is starting this vegan challenge in LA! Lucky for her there are plenty of great options to choose from whenever trying to find something to eat! She has been mastering finding vegan food on the run and has been sharing her journey as part of the fun!
We're half way through! Contest ends on April 30!
Give it up for the amazing women who have devoted 22 days of their lives to this contest!
I know first hand how hard changing a diet can be which is why I have devoted my life to trying to help others invest in their health.
These women are at the half way mark and are doing amazing! Every day they are making choices for their health (and the environment while they're at it!)
Let's give them some support as they continue on this journey!
Sometimes it may be hard, some temptations may come up but in the end there's a bunch of SBD on the line for whoever wants to take it to the next level!
Ladies, I am sending you my love and support! I can't wait to see what comes in the next half of this!
I truly believe we can heal ourselves through food and it is my mission in life to create and inspire delicious, mouth watering creations that are beneficial and packed full of plant based goodies to fuel our bodies, minds and lives! 💖

Waoo, I get goosebumps from just reading your words. Everything you've done is great. Just yesterday I thought I was halfway, this week I have not felt very animated, I am somewhat sad and without any inspiration in my meals. But still I have continued and your words encourage me to continue. Today, for example, I ate a fruit that I do not like very much, but it is a mango season and it is cheaper than other fruits. I put in the blender with spinach and cooked some crepes. I just thought that I was eating his vitamins. Thanks for the support! Hugs!

Sometimes having to create new recipes and ideas can be challenging. I know I felt that way at first but I have gotten into a routine now where it comes a lot easier especially when the body adjusts. I guess I should have noted (which I usually do with my clients) that a detox can occur causing you to feel weak and tired but it's not to get worried about, it's the elimination of toxins and once it passes, you feel much better with increased clarity and energy :) Good luck! Almost there! <3

Your food looks great, but why Beyonce? What am I missing? She doesn't represent a positive lifestyle at all. :(

Aww my friend, I don't think you read my post! ;) These are not my photos. They are photos of the women who are in my 22 day contest inspired by Beyonce. I explained all of this in the 2 prior posts that I linked in above if you're curious to check out more but just FYI Beyonce actually started a company that gets people to go vegan for 22 days, encouraging them to break the habit of eating animal products using the psychological findings of it taking those 3 weeks to have something really set in. I think in that case she is promoting a very positive lifestyle or at least trying to and with millions of fans seeing her message and thousands taking her challenge, I think she's doing a pretty good job ;)

Ok. She might have a good diet, but she doesn't promote a quality spiritual life. She promotes race riots and division between people. It just kind of bothers me, but ok.
