Detox Day 1!

Hi everyone! As I mentioned before I'm starting my detox today. I've been feeling pretty crappy lately and have been lazy about meals and snacks and have been eating entirely too much processed food so I decided to do the same 4 week detox that I did when I cut gluten from my diet. It is pretty strict for the first two weeks where I cut all grains and added sugars (even maple syrup and things like that) and basically eat tons of fruit and veggies, some nuts and seeds and beans and limited tofu. The second two weeks I add back grains in moderation and then after the month I add in very limited natural added sugars.

So lets check out the menu for Detox Day 1!

For breakfast I kept it simple and cut up a bosc pear and paired it with a banana.

For a midmorning snack I lightly roasted 1/3 cup of pumpkin seeds that I lightly seasoned with pumpkin pie spice.

For lunch I cooked up a really beautiful, fresh, clean meal. I roasted up a batch of brussels sprouts and served them up with an amazing spaghetti squash dish. I made a fresh grape tomato sauce and it came out so good! I heated some garlic in about a tsp of olive oil and then added some halved grape tomatoes. After they softened I mashed them with a fork. Then I added some spacghetti squash and heated it all the way through and finished it of with some fresh basil. It tasted amazing!

I packed this bento box full of awesomeness to bring to work for dinner tonight. It is going to be veggie overload! I have one huge carrot all cut up, a few grape tomatoes, some hummus, a sliced pickle and some of the roasted veggies (which taste SO GOOD with hummus). This is going to be a really great, filling dinner.

And, I totally forgot to share this with you yesterday!!

This is my spooky Halloween picture but I figured it would work for Day of the Dead too ;)

Enjoy your day everyone!
