Breakfast- Mixed Berry Banana Green Smoothie

Ingredients:
2 cups baby spinach
1 cup frozen mixed berries
1 banana
1 cup almond milk
2 tbsp ground flax

 

 

 

 

Lunch – Vanilla Greek Yogurt and Chocolate Love Crunch – not really a substantial lunch, but at least it was healthy!

Dinner – Eat Clean Waffles with Fresh Strawberries I think I’ve posted the link to this recipe before, but here it is again. These super healthy waffles are pretty tasty when topped with fresh fruit – and according o my husband – when loaded with maple syrup too!

Water Consumption:
8 glasses

Sleep:
5.5 hours – this was probably the crappiest sleep I have had in the last 38 days. Both kids were up in the night and I could not fall back to sleep after feeding Tanner…I was up from 3:15 until after 5…at least the kids slept in a bit so I could at least get some sleep!

Breakfast – Chocolate Banana Green Smoothie. This is definitely my most favourite green smoothie ever! Only a few more days in my Green Smoothie Challenge… Wonder how many more of these I will have before the end of the month??? You can find the recipe here.

Lunch – Eat Clean Chicken Quesadilla Casserole. I made this dish a few weeks ago and wasn’t really that thrilled about it, so I put it in the freezer and forgot about it. Well, I pulled it out today, had a bit for lunch…with salsa, of course, and it was de-lish!

Afternoon Snack – 1/2 cup Vanilla Greek Yogurt and 1/4 cup Chocolate Love Crunch

Dinner – Grilled Chicken Wrap with Franks Hot Sauce, Lettuce, Tomato and Cheese

Evening Snack – David’s Tea – Cinnamon Hearts

Water Consumption:
4 glasses – need to work on this!

Day 30

 

 

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been 30 days! Despite a few slip-ups here and there, I’m quite impressed with how I’ve done so far. Sticking to something for 40 days is hard…only 10 to go!

Breakfast – in sticking with June’s Green Smoothie Challenge, this morning I had a Strawberry Kiwi Green Smoothie. To be honest, it wasn’t my favourite, maybe because all the fruit was fresh so the smoothie seemed a bit runny…I don’t know… Oh well, here’s what I put in it

3 cups baby spinach
1 cup fresh strawberries
1 kiwi
1 cup almond milk
2 tbsp ground flax

 

 

 

 

Lunch – an Almond Butter Wrap. In a rush, with not much in the fridge, this was all I could come up with. 1 tbsp Almond Butter on a small Whole Wheat Wrap. Sorry, no picture…totally forgot as I scrambled out the door!

Dinner – leftover Steak with a Slice of Cheddar Cheese and 7 Kashi Pita Crisps – Zesty Salsa

Evening Snack – Eat Clean Chocolate Chip Cookie

Water Consumption:
8 glasses

Sleep:
6 hours…not enough!

Clean Eating Challenge: Day 29

Day 29

 

 

 

Lunch – Santa Fe Salad with Grilled Chicken– today Tanner and I had lunch with my friend Pam. We went to Boston Pizza and both Pam and I enjoyed a salad off of their Summer Menu. It was so good, and big, I could barely finish it!

Dinner – Green Smoothie #20 – Strawberry Grape. Since I was still full from lunch, dinner was going to be a Green Smoothie and a leftover piece of steak…after the smoothie, I didn’t have room for steak, so dinner just ended up being a smoothie, good think I added a scoop of protein to it!

Ingredients:
2 cups baby spinach
1 cup green grapes
1 cup fresh strawberries
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp hemp hearts
1 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp ground flax

Snack – 9 Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds – I just needed a little something…maybe it’s because I didn’t have a proper dinner…who knows, but these almonds sure hit the spot!

Water Consumption:
8 glasses

Sleep:
8 hours

1 cup green grapes
2 tbsp ground flax

Clean Eating Challenge: Day 1

Tuesday, May 22, 2012

Day 1

 

 

So, I was pretty excited to get started on my 40 Day Clean Eating Challenge today. I have been eating so crappy and feeling so blah, that it was time to make some changes!

Breakfast – Oatmeal Pancake with Bananas

Lunch – Chocolate Banana Protein Smoothie – unfortunately my husband ate the pork tenderloin leftovers I was planing to have for lunch today and I didn’t realize until the last minute. Since we were in a rush to get to my nephews soccer game, I whipped up a smoothie to go!

Ingredients:
1 cup of So Good Chocolate Soy Milk
1 banana
2 tbsp ground flax
1/2 cup Activia Vanilla Yogurt (I would have preferred to use Greek Yogurt, but didn’t have any)

Dinner – Eat Clean Turkey and Egg White Scramble – I had never made this Eat Clean dish before, but it was actually really good, and so easy to make too!

Snacks:
Morning – 1 cup of strawberries and 12 almonds
Afternoon – 1 Eat Clean Caramel Coconut Chewy Bars
Evening – 1 banana

Water Consumption:
8 glasses

Sleep:
7 hours of solid sleep before Tanner woke up to eat at 5:10am. This was seriously the BEST sleep I have had in a LONG time!

Overall, I’d say Day 1 was a success, and I think I’ve set myself up for a pretty good week! I am really excited about this challenge and look forward to sharing it with you!

Why don’t you join me and take the 40 Day Clean Eating Challenge? I’d love to share this journey with you!
