Whole 30 Challenge Week 2

My goal for this week of the challenge is to eat more vegetables than fruit, and to cut back on snacks as much as possible. I am use to the "eat something small every 2-3 hours diet", along with working out and nursing, so my goal is to go from twice daily to once. The Whole30 says you are only allowed a pre/post snack if you are working out. I am, therefore snacks are compliant for me. If you are not working out, you should be trying to eat three good sized whole meals a day, no snacks.



Day 8
B- Banana Pancakes with almond butter and strawberries
L- Spinach salad with boiled eggs, raw veggies, EVOO and balsamic
S- Homemade lara bars, recipes here.
D- Baked salmon over lime cauliflower rice, mashed sweet potato and cantaloupe.

Day 9
B- Sweet potato crusted quiche
2med sweet potatoes shredded
1package chopped mushrooms
1package frozen spinach, thawed and dried well
1onion sliced
1dozen eggs
2T coconut milk
S&P to taste
Coconut oil
1c broth
Sauté onions and mushrooms in coconut oil until browned and start to soften, add broth and simmer until tender and pan is dry. Set aside. Fry sweet potatoes until browned and crisp in coconut oil, pat into baking dish like a crust. Beat eggs, coconut milk and add seasoning, onions, mushrooms and dried spinach. Pour over crust. Bake 400 for 20-25 min until eggs are set. Allow to cool, slice into individual servings and refrigerate. Grab your container on the way out the door, microwave for about 90 sec.
