Clean Eating Weight Loss Meal Plan 94

Breakfast

Chicken or Egg Salad Stuffed Avocado Boats


These can be eaten as both breakfast and lunch. For breakfast I prefer using eggs. The boats are easy-to-make and taste great. They make a healthy and low-carb breakfast.

Find recipe recipe at Clea Eating Breakfast with Avocado.



Mid Morning Snack

Organic Plantain Chips (try these)

Plantains are similar to bananas in both appearance, texture and nutritional value but are denser than bananas and contain more vitamins, fiber and potassium than bananas do.

Plantain chips are crunchy and sweet. Inka Crops Plantain Chips (seen below) are what I recommend. They are roasted and sprinkled with just a dash of salt, and are all natural with no trans fat or hydrogenated oil.

If you crave something crunchy for a snack, instead of potato chips or Doritos, try plantain chips. They're equally delicious but much healthier.



Try: Inka Chips All Natural Gluten-Free Plantain Chips


Lunch

Chicken Cucumber and Dill Salad

Simple and light, this salad was crunchy, flavorful and delightful. Attempt it at Clean Eating Salad. You'll enjoy this refreshing dish.

Afternoon Snack

Bear Naked Real Nut Energy Bars

When in need of a quick snack, I go for healthy snack bars like today's Bear Naked Real Nut Energy Bars that are not only crunchy and delicious but are also free of preservatives, hydrogenated oil, artificial ingredients and cholesterol.
They also come in various flavors, and my favorite is peanut butter.
If you haven't tried them, you absolutely should. Get them at Bear Naked Healthy Snack Bars.




Dinner

Taco Lettuce Wraps

While browsing Pinterest I found this amazing lettuce wrap recipe from i heart nap time. Not only are the wraps creative, they are also full of flavor and fun to eat. To make these even cleaner, I would use organic lean ground turkey.

I loved them and hope you do too. Find recipe at Taco Lettuce Wraps.

Clean Eating Weight Loss Meal Plan 93

Breakfast

Organic Steel Cut Oats with Mixed Berry Sauce


After softening mixed berries with coconut oil and and all natural brown cane sugar via stove top, ingredients turned into berry sauce. I then added sauce to cooked organic steel cut oats. It was a scrumptious and filling breakfast. Hope you like the idea!


Mid Morning Snack

Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Almonds

A little sweet and a little salty, these dark chocolate almonds explode with flavor.

Find them at Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Almonds.




Lunch

Thai Black Fried Rice

 Black rice, or forbidden rice, is a product of Southeast Asia. It's rich in antioxidants that flush body's waste and anthocyanins that prevent plague-build up in arteries to cause heart attack.

Like white rice, black rice can be cooked in many ways, including in fried rice. Today's black fried rice, for example, is a fantastic way to enjoy black rice. With eggs and broccoli, the dish was full of protein, vegetable and grain. Plus, it was tasty.

If you want the recipe, find it at Clean Eating Dinner Recipe - Thai Black Rice



Afternoon Snack

Grapes, Walnuts and Honey


Dinner

Clean Eating Orange Chicken

Normal process of making orange chicken is to first bread and fry chicken in oil at high temperature, and then drown the chicken, by stir fry, in heavy, starchy and sugary sauce. (Trust me. Our family owned a Chinese restaurant. I've seen the process many times.)

Orange chicken is delicious, but certainly unhealthy. Today's clean eating orange chicken, however, retains orange chicken's tangy flavor without deep-frying and heavy breading. It's light, simple and (still) delicious. A great clean eating alternative to your favorite Chinese meal.

Healthy Breakfast Recipe: Brown Rice Flour Pancake

SHARE ON YUMMLY --> Yum




A healthy breakfast is still imperative for the clean eating diet--no matter what!

Despite recent popularity gain of intermittent fasting which results in some practitioners skipping breakfast, in clean eating, breakfast is still an important meal. Eating breakfast helps with weight loss and weight management by staving off hunger later in the day, boosting both physical energy and brain functions, and jump-starting metabolic rate.


Some breakfast ideas, however, aren't healthy and don't fit the clean eating diet.

Pancakes, for example, are loaded with simple carbs, refined sugar and empty calories. They're fluffy; they're tasty; but they aren't clean.

Brown rice flour pancake, however, is a fantastic substitute.

Made with finely ground brown rice which undergoes less processing (hulling) than white rice and retains most of rice's nutritional values, brown rice flour makes equally tasty meals and baking treats and is gluten-free and clean eating. 



In pancake, like today's healthy breakfast recipe, brow rice flour works too. 

The pancake is easy-to-make and tasty, especially when topped with real maple syrup and banana slices. It's like eating dessert for breakfast, but without the guilt!

I hope you like the recipe!

Healthy Breakfast Recipe: Brown Rice Flour Pancake

Ingredients:

- 1 table spoon of organic brown rice flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 pinch of sea salt
- 1 banana
- 1 table spoon of real organic maple syrup
- 2 tea spoons of organic coconut oil

Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, crack eggs and slightly whisk them.
2. Add brown rice flour, and slowly whisk until flour and eggs are evenly blended.
3. Heat skillet. Add coconut oil.
4. Pour flour and egg mix onto skillet. Cook one side thoroughly, flip and cook the other side. (Same as pancakes.)
5. Transfer pancake onto a plate. Add real maple syrup and banana slices.

Enjoy!
