Detox - Day 4

I have to admit that I'm feeling pretty satisfied with this plan as I start day 4.  The meals have been fairly easy to prepare, and they've been filling.  Last night, I have to confess, that I was craving a cookie with my Sleepy Time Tea, but I got past it by concentrating on the tea.

Breakfast - First, I had my 1 ounce of Maqui Juice, then I tried a fruit smoothie, the Suzanne Somers way.  First, I measured out 1-1/2 cups of frozen fruit (which is the total fruit allotment for the day).  Then, I added a splash (1/3 cup) of pomegranate juice and let it whirl.  It was very flavorful using the juice instead of milk.  I think the milk changes the taste a bit.  Remember, you can't add milk, or anything else with fruit.

AM Snack - For the first 3 days I skipped this because I wasn't hungry.  But, today I was!  I don't know if the all-fruit breakfast choice wasn't fulfilling enough, or if my slow metabolism is kicking in, but I needed a little something.  So, I had a slice of cheddar cheese (1 ounce).

Lunch - Something new today, egg salad wraps.  As I mentioned yesterday, I already boiled the eggs and chopped the celery (2 eggs per serving and 1/2 cup celery per serving).  I made enough for 3 meals so I'd have leftovers.  Then, I added just enough regular mayo to bind it together (don't go crazy with this), plus a splash of white vinegar and a good squirt of mustard.  Plus, salt and pepper.  Each serving is about a cup and I spooned it into 2 lettuce cups; then wrapped it.  While I missed the toasted bread, it was filling and fresh tasting.  But, I love egg salad!

PM Snack - I love chips and salsa, so I had 2 brown rice cakes and fresh salsa ... again!  It's so satisfying and keeps me from craving the bad stuff.

Dinner - Tonight was easy to prepare as we had that delicious roasted chicken from Day 2.  However, I did saute the fresh, leftover kale and broccoli, just as I did on Day 2.  To me, reheated, sauteed veggies just doesn't sound good.  However, today I cut the kale into smaller pieces and sauteed them a couple minutes longer and the result was much better!  Kale is new to me, and prepared this way it's pretty good.

Beverages:  seven 8-ounce glasses of water and 1 cup Sleepy Time Tea
