On the weekends it is definitely harder to stay true to the cleanse. We don't usually have much of a schedule which makes eating healthy food a bit more challenging. Jay-bird and I were baby-free for dinner (thanks, Grammie!), so we went out. He graciously agreed to try the cafe at Whole Foods (which a friend recommended as an option for a local, "clean" restaurant). That was a big deal for my meat-and-potatoes husband!!! I ordered a giant salad and my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach. Everything looked so fresh and tasty! I think all the salad ingredients were "cleanse friendly" with the exception of the cottage cheese which I used in place of a dressing. I also spent a lot of time looking for a drink. I could've just had water, but I was in the mood for something fun. I searched all the labels and came up with fresh squeezed OJ. I was craving lemonade, but all their options were loaded with added sugar (think 26 grams!), so I opted for the least processed food with no added sugar - the ingredients listed were "oranges". I would probably bring my own drink next time or just have water. Jay-bird had a "black and blue" burger with a side of fries. He looked very content and his burger looked grilled to perfection :)
Here's WHAT I ATE TODAY
Breakfast
- 2 scoops protein powder
- almond milk
- 2.5 spinach cubes
- 2 T almond butter
- 1 banana
Lunch
- sliced tomato
- roasted asparagus, smidge of butter
- yellow bell pepper
Afternoon snack/smoothie
- strawberries
- almond milk
- 2 scoops protein powder
Dinner: Whole Foods salad bar
Dessert:
I've been meaning to take a picture of this "dessert". It looks kinda soupy here, but the yogurt/coconut milk blend to make a soft pudding consistency. The apple gives it crunch and the flaxseed gives it texture. I added the coconut flakes this time and it gave the dish another layer of crunchy goodness.
- an apple, chopped
- 2 T ground flaxseed
- 2 T dried coconut flakes
- 1/4 c each of plain, non-fat Greek yogurt and coconut milk
