Clean Eating Challenge Meal Plan for Friday

Hey guys. I have come up with a meal plan for those of you who are interested in clean eating for a week.  You can go by what I am doing or come up with your own meal plans.  If you find something else that you like let me know!

Here is the Meal Plan for Friday:

Friday
Breakfast-  Peanut Butter Granola Make sure to use Natural Peanut Butter that doesn't have any additives in it. If you have a juicer, you can also make a Bright Light Green Juice. If you don't have a juicer, try out this  Get Your Greens Smoothie.

Snack- Sunshine Juice (or any other snack from the list later in this post)
Sunshine Juice recipe:
1 sweet potato
1 carrot
1 apple (cored)
1 orange (peeled)
small piece of ginger root

Rinse all ingredients. Then juice.  It is really tasty. I made some today and it was really refreshing.







Lunch- Quinoa Vegetable Salad with Lemon-Basil Dressing

Snack- Nuts and Dried Apricots

Dinner- Stuffed Pitas without the cheese. Looks good!


List of Healthy Snacks
Fresh fruit--bananas, apples, grapes, peaches, pears, strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, cantalope, oranges, clementines, etc.
Frozen fruit--grapes, bananas
Dried Fruit--apricots, raisins, dates (be careful that no extra sugar has been added)
Apples and Peanut Butter
Nuts--pecans, walnuts, almonds, peanuts, pistachios, cashews
Raw veggies with hummus (cucumbers, carrots, celery, bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower,etc)
Sunflower seeds
Baked apples (filled with a little bit of pure maple syrup and cinnamon)
Guacamole with fresh veggies or Triscit type crackers (remember 5 ingredients or less!)
Larabar (these are made with 5 ingredients and all natural fruits and nuts!)
Edamame

Drink LOTS of water! I would say at least 10 cups of water. You can also drink herbal teas. I really enjoy mint tea. My mom is a nutrition coach and her advice is to also sip on warm water throughout the day. Nothing in it. Just plain old good warm water.

Eating clean doesn't mean starving yourself! Or depriving yourself of tasty food. If you try these recipes let me know how you liked them. I am excited to try all the meals out. Hopefully I will be able to put the rest of the week's meal plans out on Friday. Happy cleansing!
