Clean Eating Weight Loss Meal Plan 105

Breakfast

Smoothies are good healthy breakfast options because they're blended with nutritious ingredients like fruits, yogurt and milk. Today's banana and strawberry smoothie is indeed a healthy choice, with natural sweetness from bananas and strawberries and protein from yogurt. 

If you want to "bulk up" this smoothie, try adding even more protein with organic protein powder like Garden of Life Raw Organic Protein, which offers raw organic sprouted protein, live probiotics and enzymes, and 17 grams of protein per serving.

If you want to see the recipe for the smoothie, find it at Clean Eating Strawberry Banana Smoothie.

Lunch

This is a simple yet tasty combo of natural turkey breast, chopped to bite-sized pieces and mixed with supple avocado and flavorful feta. Great idea for a carb-less meal.

Find recipe at Clean Eating Recipe - Turkey Avocado and Feta Combo.


Afternoon Snack

Just Raspberry Freeze-Dried Raspberries

Instead of preserving with chemicals, these raspberries are freeze-dried for preservation. Because freeze-drying vacuums produce, it disallows micro-organisms like bacteria from entering food to contaminate flavor and nutritional value. So far, freeze-drying has been dubbed "the most successful method of food preservation."

There are no other ingredients in this bag, only raspberries that were freeze-dried to maintain flavor. Freeze-drying also gave these raspberries just enough crunch.


Dinner

Easy baked cod


Easy indeed! And super healthy too. This clean eating dinner turned out tender, flavorful and enjoyable. Need a simple  healthy dinner idea? Give these baked cod a try at Clean Eating Recipe - Baked Cod.

10 Healthy Breakfast Options Packed with Protein

SHARE ON YUMMLY --> Yum

1. Whole Wheat Bread Topped with Honey, Low Fat Ricotta Cheese, Strawberry Slices and Chia Seeds

Consisting mostly of whey, ricotta cheese contains close to 28 grams of protein per cup and is low in calories compared to other cheeses. It's light, tasty and can be used as both stuffing and topping.

This quick healthy breakfast idea is easy and tasty, with sweet honey-mixed ricotta smoothed over whole wheat bread, topped by fresh strawberry and hearty chia seeds. It's packed with both protein and flavor, and I highly recommend you try it.

Quick Healthy Snacks for Work

SHARE ON YUMMLY --> Yum

Finding healthy snacks for work isn't easy.


You're running from meeting to meeting, conducting task after task, and answering question after question. You don't even have time for lunch, so forget about healthy snacking. On the job, your version of quick and healthy snacks are greasy chips and sugary candies from a vending machine--and neither fit the clean eating diet you're trying to continue.

May I recommend to you a few healthy snacks for work? 


The choices below are nutritious, portable and virtually mess-free. They're perfect for work, as well as play. Most of all, they taste good.

1. Veggie Corn Chips

Whoever first added vegetables to corn chips is a genius! Our favorite chips are now filled with super foods like kale, chia and beets, but remain flavorful and crunchy. Because they come in snack-able sized bags, they're great as quick healthy snacks for work.

My recommendations are SuperEats Kale and Chia Chips...

...and The Better Chip Beets and Sea Salt Corn Chips.
2. Fruit Chips

If veggie chips are good healthy snacks for work, so are fruit chips. For those of you with a sweet tooth, fruit chips offer the same sweet flavor but with natural sugar.

I fell in love with Seneca Apple Chips. They're sweet, crunchy, all-natural, gluten-free and quite frankly, EXTREMELY addictive.

Get them at Seneca Apple Chips.

My new addiction, though, are Samai plantain chips. Like apple chips, they're naturally sweet, flavorful and crunchy.

3. All Natural Cookies

Cookie-lovers can enjoy healthy snacks for work too. Nowadays, there are many natural, low-calorie desserts at super markets. Try stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, or find "healthy foods" or "natural foods" sections at your local grocery store.

My choice are Hannah Max All Natural Cookies. They are sweet, crispy and won't leave you feeling bloated. If you need a treat during work hours, the Hannah Max All natural Cookies are fantastic healthy snacks for work!

4. Apples Slices (with Cheese or All-Natural Peanut Butter)

Fruits are good snacks for work, because they're easy to carry. The work desk-friendly ones (a.k.a mess-free) are probably bananas and apples.

Apple slices are my favorite because they are sweet, crunchy and easy to dress up. 

By dressing up I meant pairing them with with natural cheese slices like Beecher's Handmade Cheese or all natural peanut butter.

8. Pop Chips

In addition to tasting great and fun to eat, pop chips contain zero artificial ingredients and aren't fried or baked. Best part? They have half the fat of regular potato chips, and won't leave your fingers greasy.

I like them, and so do my kids.

Quite honestly, I love them too. They're perfect healthy snacks for work, as well as play.
