Hey Zeffryn... where do you get your smoothie recipes from? Plus, I've noticed you like almond milk,any reason in particular? Thanks!

Ph 1.5 My leftovers have ph 2 veggies in them
I'm down 5!!!!!!!
1 slice of Kerry gold swiss
1 cup Faux J (Crystal Light sunrise)
coffee with 1/2 cup almond milk

Spinach bacon and Feta quiche
coffee with NSA hot cocoa

Sunflower flax muffin (quadrupled MIAM recipe and made 6 muffins)

Salad with
turkey ham and 2 slices kerry gold
PM snack
2 hb eggs spinach

Dinner
Loafless meatloaf I <3 Leftovers!
Maybe smashed cauliflower if I get my lazy buns cooking!

Enit -- I just kind of throw whatever I'm feeling like having into a blender and hope it comes out tasty -- usually it does. The combo of strawberry, chocolate and peanut butter is pretty hard to screw up and is my favorite. I use almond milk (unsweetened) because I'm allergic to dairy (I can do regular yogurt on occasion, but regular milk makes me really gassy (tmi!) and have horrible stomach cramping). my husband is borderline lactose intolerant and one of my sons is intolerant as well (he's also allergic to eggs and shellfish). we all drink almond milk now because we just like it better than regular milk. once in awhile, i'll get rice or coconut milk but those are harder to find unsweetened versions of.

Looks like Phase 1...

B - coffee with almond milk. 2-egg spinach & sundried tomato scramble with pinto beans and low-sodium V8 juice.
L - Caesar salad with 4 oz grilled shrimp (homemade dressing - 100 cal). Cup of tea.
Ss - Tofurkey with light cream cheese, hummus with broccoli & red pepper slices, kale chips?
D - Veggie burger (no bun),tomato/cucumber salad, roasted cauliflower with tahini/garlic/lemon sauce
dessert - Greek yogurt

P1.5
B: Cup of tea with skim milk (Was late for school!)
B2: 1 egg omelette with spinach, mortadella (lf) and 1/2 slice edam cheese
L: Smoothie: 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1 banana and 2/3 cup almond milk.
S: 1 pear + celery sticks and hummus (plus a few bites of pasta- BAD me! D: )
D: 2 small homemade turkey burgers + +spinach + cauliflower + cabbage + 1tsp sour cream

Exercise: 45 minutes zumba + 1 hour 20/20/20 (basically cardio and strength training combined)

phase 2

b -oatmeal, ground flax and almond milk
l - leftover steak and salad
s - yougurt and orange
s - baked haddock, steamed cauliflower and salad

to 8 oz. of almond milk, I add 1 scoop of protein powder (1 serving), 2 big handfuls of spinach, and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter - blend until smooth and as it is blending, add in 1/2 c. of frozen strawberries, a few at a time.

Thanks zeffryn!!!!.... I'm assuming you use raw spinach and not frozen?

usually. i've used frozen before with equal results. just throw about a cup in while it is still frozen.
