It’s day 5 and I am settling down into somewhat of a routine. I must say that I feel great and have had NO digestive issues at all for the past 9 days (4 on the elimination diet, and 5 on CLEAN). I’ve only had a few cravings, and most of them are for something that’s not all that exciting either, but usually has one of the “no” foods in it…like eggs…which are in…like everything.
I am looking forward to reintroducing foods at the end and egg is probably going to be first. Tomato and cheese follow close behind and bananas too (because I love banana smoothies).
This morning was a smoothie experiment and I really didn’t like either of the ones I made, so I ended up just having a few sips of both and then was done. By lunchtime, though I was hungry. Here’s how the day went:
Breakfast: Blueberry/Carob/Almond Milk Smoothie (few sips) and Energy Smoothie with Almond Butter and Cardamom (few sips)
Lunch: Lentil/Chicken Quesadilla with Fresh Guacamole – I used store-bought Rice Flour Tortillas this time, because I didn’t have all the ingredients to make the tortillas when I made them at home the other day, and they weren’t the best. They weren’t awful, but not the best either. Store-bought ones were tasty.
Dinner: Berry Smoothie
I also experimented with raw “ice cream” made out of cashews, and I even added a vanilla bean to it. I tried just a bite and it needs to chill some more. Tomorrow, or Friday, I’ll give it a try.
Have a great day!
To your success,
