Breakfast: Protein Shake
[1/2 cup water, 1 tbsp protein powder, 1 banana, 5 cherries, 3 strawberries (all frozen), 1/4 tsp pure vanilla, collard greens and ice].
Snack: Sweet Potato Hash
[Cooked sweet potato cubes in coconut oil, sprinkled with cinnamon]
Lunch: Chicken and Veggies
[Leftover chicken and veggies (zucchini and yellow squash) from last night's dinner].
Snack: Homemade Applesauce
[Best applesauce you will ever eat! So simple to make. Peel and dice ~5 of your favorite apples; place in a microwave bowl. Coat with 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil and cinnamon. Cover bowl with plate, leaving an opening for steam. Cook on high for 8-10 minutes. Blend the finished apples to the desired consistency].
Dinner: Grilled Chicken & Zucchini
[I'm so blessed that my husband loves to grill! Not sure how he prepped the chicken but he knows what I can't have. It was all delicious].
Snack: Hashimoto's Non-chocolate Coconut Bar
[I was craving coconut since I used to have my Hashimoto's Coconut Bars all the time. Since they included dark chocolate and pure maple syrup, I couldn't eat them during the challenge. So tonight I modified the recipe a bit. They tasted delicious but didn't bind great. I'll figure that part out later.
Recipe: 3 cups unsweetened coconut flakes, large; 2 tbsp protein powder, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 2 tbsp coconut oil, 1 tbsp coconut butter, 5 medjool dates, 1/4 cup dried cranberries and 1/4 cup coconut flour. Mix all ingredients in a food processor. Place in mini-loaf pan (8 bins) and refrigerate for 1 hour].
