Day 14 - I Love Plums!

I tried a plum today for the very first time, and I'm in love. It might be my new favorite fruit. Before the Cinch diet, I was never a huge fruit person. I would usually eat my traditional favorites (bananas, strawberries, apples, pineapple, grapes), but I wouldn't venture out and try new fruits.

Today was pretty good on my diet for the most part. (I had too many chips with dinner.)

BREAKFAST (8:30 am):

Almond Butter Plum Toast with Yogurt:

1 plum, peeled and sliced
1 slice whole grain bread
6 oz. honey vanilla Greek yogurt
1 TBSP Justin’s honey almond butter
Dash nutmeg

This might be my new favorite breakfast. I’ve never tried a plum before, and wow, was it delicious!




LUNCH (1:00 pm)

Spinach Walnut Bleu Cheese Pita:

1 cup fresh spinach and 1 large chopped plum tomato
1/2 whole grain pita
1/4 cup bleu cheese
2 TBSP chopped walnuts
Dash balsamic vinegar

I finally found a portable bottle of balsamic vinegar. It is an aged 10-year vinegar from Trader Joe's. I cannot believe how much of a flavor difference I notice with this vinegar VS a vinegar that isn't aged. It has traveled in my work lunch bag 3 times this week, and twice my co-workers have asked me what it is. :-)




SNACK (4:30 pm)

Almond Butter and Gouda Cheese with Apple Slices:

(I skip the whole grain puzzle piece at each snack.)

1 apple, sliced
1 Babybel Gouda cheese
1 TBSP Justin’s honey almond butter
Dash nutmeg


DINNER (7:00 pm)

Chipotle:

Peppers and onions, lettuce, tomato salsa
Whole grain tortilla chips (had at home) and a little corn salsa
Black beans
Guacamole
Lots of spices in the salsa
