    I took the time to put some extra veggies in my breakfast. Had a 1 egg omelet with green pepper, mushrooms, home grown teen onions. Veggies were cooked with a splash of white cooking wine instead of butter. Egg was beat with some homemade salsa instead of milk. Than added a pinch of bacon bits for that well rounded breakfast taste for only 110 calories. One of my favorite meals since starting this new way of eating (some people call it a diet). Plus no hunger pains or cravings until lunch.

    Banana and strawberries for lunch. Cherries and grapes for snacks later.

    I am LOVING how inventive everyone is being! I'm tempted to whip up a smoothie later, anyone got any good fruity recipes?! x

    1 frozen banana (if you have them, otherwise non-frozen will also work), 1/2 cup of fat free yogurt, 1/2-1 cup of berries and some skim milk (or water) to thin the whole thing to your desired thickness

    or

    1/2 (frozen) cubed mango,1-2 handfulls of fresh spinach, 1 scoop of protein powder (I like 'fresh apple' with this) and about 2 cups water, maybe more or les depending on which consistency you like.

    Haven't made the green one for a while, good idea to have one tomorrow!

    I'm not a banana fan but I am SO trying the green one tonight, sounds amazing! I only have vanilla protein powder but it could work...Will be a great post workout treat, thanks! x

    Today I plan to have mixed grilled veggies at lunch along with an apple. For snack I packed a whole cucumber, one cup of baby carrots, and one cup of grape tomatoes with hummus. For dinner I'm going to have a big salad with shrimp, avocado, tomato, cucumber, hearts of palm and romaine lettuce! Today's challenge goes well with my goal of less wheat and more fruits and veggies :)

    Let me know how the green one turns out - sounds good in theory but not sure I could stomach spinach in drink form...

    Banana with breakfast, salad of spinach, avocado, tomatoes, feta, and chicken for lunch (avocado and feta makes it so I don't need any dressing since I hate dry salads), pineapple for a snack, and fruit salad of watermelon, cantaloupe, cherries, and grapes with supper.

    So far I've had a nectarine with breakfast, grapes for a snack and a salad with lunch. My dinner will include green vegetables. Good day!

    I did it! Today I ate a serving of my assigned fruit -- mango! (I've actually never had it before, so it was a good choice!) I also had a banana, carrots, tomato, and spinach during the day.
