Well, some of you know, Mark & I are ending our 21 day detox. We have felt AMAZING. So, as this 21 days closes out, we've decided...to start over!! We have noticed the following things:
*more energy
*weight loss
*more alertness
*feeling way more healthy in general!
Many of you have expressed interest in trying this! and i say YES! do it! it feels so awesome!
So, i'm going to post a menu plan, and some needed recipes for the week. Let me know if this is helpful, and feel free to comment any questions that you have, and i'll do my best to answer!
(if needing more specific help, let me know)
I'll post a few breakfast & Lunch Ideas, you can pick and choose, or do whatever you'd like. It's not a strict "follow these rules" diet, just to keep the gluten & sugar out!
(sweetners that are UNrefined are allowed:
raw honey
100% raw agave nectar
100% raw maple syrup)
Breakfasts Ideas
-Eggs, fruit, breakfast meat
-GF oatmeal with berries, natural peanut butter, & greek yogurt
-Brown Rice bread with natural peanut butter & a banana
Lunch Ideas
-Salads with chicken, nuts, & loads of veggies
-Sandwich (brown rice bread), veggies& hummus, cheese
Dinner Plan:
(this is not a strict "diet plan" this is simply an idea for what to eat if your super lost and need some guidance !)
you can always add a salad, or more veggies, or some fruit, if desired!
Monday: Chili! (crock-pot baby!) (ground turkey-LEAN. diced tomatoes, lots of beans. make sure there is NO sugar added in beans and matos!)
Tuesday: Breakfast for dinner! Waffles with fresh berries (i like to top mine with berries, natural peanut butter and some 100% pure maple syrup)
Wednesday: Chicken with roasted zucchini, yellow squash, onion, and carrots. (cut up all veggies, coat with olive oil and desired spices, roast in aluminum covered baking sheet in a 425 degree oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until veggies are soft. Stir once or twice during that time.)
Thursday: Taco Soup. (this is a crockpot meal, make a large amount and then you can eat off of it for lunch or dinner another night!)
Friday: Pizza Night!! Almond Crust Pizza, with salad or a veggie on the side!
Saturday: Sweet Potato "chips", choice of meat, & Salad
Sunday: Roasted Vegetables, Seasoned brown rice, some fresh fruit, & choice of meat!

waffles:
Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Waffles
- 3 cups rice milk
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 2 cups gluten-free oats (you could also use millet or brown rice)
- 4 Tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 4 teaspoons vanilla
- 4 eggs
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
In a Vita-Mix (or other powerful blender), combine rice milk, grains, coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla. Blend on high for two minutes until the grain is completely ground and blended.
Add baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Turn on blender again and mix until blended. Oil or butter the waffle iron and cook waffles for 2-4 minutes each, until done.
Makes around 10-12 waffles.
