I’m getting to a point where I’m looking forward to eating the food I’m allowed to have, and am missing what I’m not allowed (bread, dairy) less and less. I actually think I’ll keep eating the lunches I’ve been having once the cleanse is over. I used to do a lot of pastas and sandwiches for lunch, but it’s really easy to make grain salads and a lot healthier. I’ve also been enjoying the challenge of trying to eat more raw foods. Even my almost 3-year old seems to be enjoying the lunches. Here is a sample of what I’ve been having:
Broccoli and carrot cole slaw, quinoa with veggies and beans and diced avocado
The grains I’ve been enjoying include quinoa, millet, and amaranth. I typically do a Mexican-themed flavor or a Mediterranean one. My Med version of quinoa is mixed with purple cabbage, kale, cannelleni beans, cucumbers, whole olives, and is served with hummus. The grain salads keep well, so I can make a good sized batch and eat them for several meals over the next 24 hours.
Health, Taken Seriously
