On Vegan Eating

I've gotten a lot of questions since my resolution post about my goal of eating 5 vegan meals a week. I am by no means a vegan... not even a vegetarian! Eating 5 vegan meals a week is just a way for me to help myself eat more fruits and vegetables; something I am REALLY bad at. I watched this documentary once that I can't remember the name of that really drove home the point to me that its incredibly important to eat raw, organic, whole, natural foods. Since then, and a lot of research later, I've really tried to incorporate more of that into mine and my family's diet.
SO, here are some of my staple vegan meals:
Green smoothies or just regular fruit smoothies- made with juice instead of my regular yogurt
Salads with vinaigrette and nuts instead of creamy dressings
Veggie wraps- one of my favorites! I sautee sweet onion, red or green peppers, beans and mushrooms in sesame seed oil... delish!
Soups- the possibilities are endless!
If you think about it, there are LOTS of foods that can be made vegan, so I've tried to do that; nut butter toast, apples with nut butter, veggies on rice, veggies on noodles, fruit bowls, etc.

In our family we try to have a meatless dinner every Monday, which has helped us find yummy alternitaves to our usual meaty dishes. Its been a fun adventure!
Just to be clear, my reasoning behind eating a more plant-based diet is not founded by my belief system or any 'save-the-animals' motives. I simply want to eat healthier and save money doing it!

What about you? Have you ever eaten Vegan? What are your thoughts or reservations?
