Day #3 Paleo & Vegan Take on 21 Day Sugar Detox

February 20, 2013 by Jackie Ritz 1 Comment

The 21-Day Sugar Detox

Day 3 started today and my Vegan partner and I are doing good! I do have some fogginess going on, but that’s about it. I have not cheated and can’t wait till I start feel energetic again. They say day 3 and 4 are the worse and then you get a second wind.

My monthly friend came to visit me and I’m craving chocolate and popcorn like I always do during this time of the month. How fun to be detoxing and be on your period, huh?!?!

I have still been using my eMeals Paleo plan during this detox. It has been GREAT and 100% 21 Day Sugar Detox approved! In the past, I have seen some recipes with honey or maple syrup, but not this week or last. And adding honey or maple syrup is always optional. 

Here’s a snippet of what April and I have been eating on a day-to-day basis:

Paleo Jackie – I am doing Level 3 Athletic Modification

Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with spinach; topped with avocado & salsa

Lunch: Moroccan Meatballs (from Well Fed), carrots and almond butter, and half a banana

Dinner: Big Meatball salad and green beans on the side.

Snacks: Caramelized Coconut chips (from Well Fed)

Drinks: Water and Coffee with a few TB of full-fat coconut milk

Moroccan Meatball Salad and garlicky green beans

Vegan April – doing Level 3 Vegan/Athletic Modification

Breakfast: Vega Sport Shake with flax and almond milk

Lunch: Sweet potato, vegetable skewers, and a salad

Dinner: Quinoa with kale, carrots, and mushrooms, tossed with balsamic vinegar

Snacks: carrots and cashews

Drinks: Tea with some almond milk, water, and black coffee

 

Supplements I take:

1. 1000mg Krill Oil

2. 8,000iu Vitamin D3

3. Women’s Prenatal Vitamin (no, I’m not pregnant but I am child-bearing age)

4. Digestive Enzymes: to find

5. FiberBlend to aid in detox

 

Who else is doing the 21 Day Sugar Detox? How is it going for you?

Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Smoothie

March 27, 2012 by Jackie Ritz 2 Comments

Had a craving for chocolate tonight and all I could find in my pantry was cacao powder (which by the way is just frickin delicious). Accepting this challenge I began to throw things in my blender and, I have to say, I have come up with an amazing, chocolate-craving busting smoothie that is so healthy!

Ingredients:

1.5 cups of coconut milk (or almond milk).
6-7 frozen strawberries (can use fresh, just add in ice cubes)
1/2 frozen banana
1.5 TB cocoa powder

Add a couple drops of liquid stevia. I used my chocolate raspberry stevia and it enhanced the chocolatiness!!

Optional add ins: free-range egg yolks, coconut oil, and ice cubes if you use fresh strawberries

Throw everything in a blender, except ice cubes, and blend till smooth. Take a peak and add in ice cubes to get it to the thickness you desire.

Enjoy!!!

Pumpkin Pie in a Cup!

pumpkin-pie-smoothie

I am a pumpkin pie kind of girl! I love it! And I don’t just love it on Thanksgiving. I love it year-round! I’ve been craving it lately since, of course, I can’t have the ooey-gooey heaven on a plate, so I decided to try to make a smoothie that tastes like the real deal.

Here’s my recipe that I created that is quite amazing!

Pumpkin Pie in a Cup

Ingredients:

  • Half can of pumpkin or 1/2 cup of puree pumpkin
  • About 6 oz of unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 6-7 ice cubes
  • 6-12 drops of liquid stevia (or you can use honey, maple syrup, or none)

DIRECTIONS: 

  • Throw everything in a blender and blend till smooth!
