Day 9 - All 4 Meals!

Today was a great day on the Cinch plan. I ate all four meals as required. Spent most of the day cleaning and relaxing at home.

BREAKFAST (9:30 am)

Blueberry Smoothie with Almond Toast

1 cup frozen blueberries
1 slice whole grain bread
8 oz organic skim milk
1 TBSP almond butter
Pinch ground nutmeg

This breakfast was pretty good. Although, my smoothie was too "smooth". It was more like blueberry milk consistency; definitely needed some ice.

LUNCH (1:00 pm)

Fresh Mozzarella Basil "Pizzalad":

1 cup chopped tomatoes and cucumbers
1/2 whole grain pita
1 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced
1 TBSP EVOO
Minced garlic, dried basil and oregano

Love, love, loved this meal! Hubby had one too except he had a full pita. I will be eating this meal often. Here it is:




Had my daily dark chocolate right after lunch as I was craving chocolate!

SNACK (4:00 pm)

Cranberry Pesto Egg Spread

1/4 cup dried cranberries
8 whole grain crackers
1 hard boiled egg
1 TBSP sun-dried tomato pesto
1/2 tsp dried rosemary

The recipe calls for basil pesto, but all I had on hand was sun-dried tomato pesto. This snack was very good. I like that it reminded me of a dip with crackers.

DINNER (7:00 pm):

California Cilantro Chicken Burrito Bowl:

1 cup chopped romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup all natural salsa, 1/4 cup each green bell pepper, onion, & vegetable broth
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
3 oz cooked chicken, cubed
1/4 medium avocado, cubed
1/4 tsp chopped garlic and 1 TBSP chopped cilantro

I loved this dish! Might be my favorite, but that's really hard to say because I am loving all the meals on this plan. Here it is:




Tomorrow, I'm going to have the Almond Butter Blackberry Toast for breakfast, Califonia Sunshine Salad for a snack, Turkey Almond Pita for lunch, and Tuna Pecan Pasta for dinner. I REALLY like picking out my meals for the next day as each day ends! :-)
