-Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, Brussel sprouts)
-Raw greens (red and green lettuce, romaine, spinach, endive)
-Fresh apples and pears (whole or freshly juiced)
-Bottled or canned apple and pear juice (no sugar added)
Increase powdered beverage mix-2 scoops four times per day
On day five I decided to try to make and eat kale chips for a snack. They were horrible. I almost "lost" my snack as they are super bitter. I decided not to have those again. :) Since I was already not a fan of cabbage or brussel sprouts, I ate a lot of steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and salad for meals. I also ate apples and pears for snacks and breakfast.
Emotionally, I was fine with my restrictions from this diet and not having too many cravings until day 7. I really like steamed broccoli, but there are only so many times I can eat it before I am sick of it. Three days of only eating a few fruits and vegetables gets rough. Here's one thing I did make.
Green Smothie
I've had green types of smoothies before, but not quite like this one. This one contained:
Kale
Parsley
Apple
Pear
Water & Ice
Could it get any healthier? Sheesh. It wasn't horrible in flavor; I just wasn't a fan of the fact that it didn't really get totally smooth. I'm sure I could have made it smoother if I wanted to add more water, but that would have diluted the taste to the point that I wouldn't have enjoyed it. Anyway, DAY 8 tomorrow: I can eat different food!
