It’s no secret that I couldn’t go the whole five days on the juice cleanse a few weeks ago! However it did give me a huge appreciation for food & inspired me to eat less meat & less dairy. I like the idea of healing my stomach troubles with proper nutritious food. So with these thoughts in mind, I decided to conduct my own little experiment & create a detox for myself based on what I know is good for my body. No dairy, no wheat products, no gluten, no refined sugars, no meat! The idea is to ease digestion & give my stomach a bit of a vacay! However my detox is including: fruit, lots of veggies (especially the green leafy variety) & lots of spices! So without further a-do here is my diary for today.
So what did you eat…
Breakfast – Banana pancakes, well actually they’re more like sweet omelettes! You will find the recipe below.
Snack - 1 large wedge of seedless watermelon
Lunch - Salad! Broccoli, cabbage, carrot, apple & shallots mixed with lemon quinoa & topped with avocado.
Snack - Handful of brazil nuts
Dinner – Homemade pumpkin & ginger soup topped with a few pine nuts for added crunch.
Dessert - 1 cup peppermint tea & small serve of choc coconut mousse.
So did you exercise…
YES! I woke up this morning & did a few yoga poses and light stretches, I then jumped on the tread mill for 20 minutes. Afterwards I stretched once again & then laid out on my yantra mat for 15 minutes. Currently I can’t do anything too strenuous as I’m experiencing knee troubles (so frustrating) but any movement is better than none at all.
I’m thinking that tomorrow I’m going to make a beautiful homemade tomato & basil soup for dinner. I can’t wait to share the recipe with you all!
