So, I’ve decided to change things up a bit and eat completely clean for a few weeks just to see how different I feel. Yesterday I went grocery shopping for some key items and this is what I came up with:
Veggies:
Spinach
String Beans
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Collard Greens
celery
romaine lettuce
mushrooms
Misc:
quinoa
brown rice
sweet potatoes
Chicken
Tilapia
onions/green peppers/red peppers
lemons
instant oats
cheese
grapes
yogurt
green apples
oranges
strawberries
pineapples
greek yogurt
I used all my items and made 5 dinners and 5 lunches…all lunch items contained one meat/poultry and 1 vegetable…all dinner meals include a meat/poultry and 1-2 veggies with one carb. I chose this route because my workout is typically right before or right after dinner. For breakfast, I plan to rotate oatmeal, protein shakes, yogurt and fruit.
My spices include cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, garlic, chili powder, cumin, basil, rosemary, sage and lime…
I used a mix of cayenne pepper, garlic, chili powder and lime for a tilapia mix that came out AMAZING…(squeeze the lime juice on top)…I will post the recipe for this later
and for the chicken, I used fresh rosemary, basil, cayenne and garlic… (also yummers)
Some of my favorite takeaways were the cauliflower mashed “potatoes” (simply boil cauliflower florets with a small diced white onion and 1 minced garlic clove for about 15 mins (must have water covering the cauliflower)…strain it and then throw it in the food processor…add a tablespoon of parmesan cheese and Voila!)
AND
my “CLEAN DIRTY RICE” LOL…I used very lean ground beef and added some garlic, cayenne and chopped onion…mixed it with a cup of brown rice….maybe it’s because I expected it to be tasteless but it was SO GOOD!…..
more to come soon 😉
