Surf & turf day. Yum.

Breakfast

My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.

Lunch

Arugula salad with roast carnitas pork from last week, half a mango dusted in chili powder, and some of the parsley/lemon/fish sauce sauce from last night. And Whole30 sriracha. Yum. And now that I’m just about out of pork, I’m bummed that I have no more. Seriously delicious.

Dinner

Spicy crab cakes with chipotle aioli, pineapple kiwi salsa and Broccolini. Recipe coming soon for this. It was excellent.

Snack

The rest of the carnitas, because I needed more protein to hit my nutrient goal for the day.

Yummmmmmmm … seafood overload.

Breakfast

My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.

Lunch

Arugula salad with sautéed shrimp, chili powder dusted mango and a creamy avocado dressing made with coconut water and lime juice. Light and tasty.

Snack

1 ounce plain almonds.

Dinner

Pan seared salmon filet with mushrooms sautéed in grass fed butter & coconut oil and a zesty sauce (blend until emulsified: 1/4 c. parsley, 2 Tbsp. tarragon, 4 tsp. Red Boat fish sauce, 6 Tbsp. grapeseed oil, 2 cloves garlic, juice & zest of half a lemon and sprinkle of salt). Yum.

Today was full of good food. Good food that was easily Whole30.

Breakfast

You’d think having the same green smoothie for breakfast every day would be boring. It’s not. Today I made my very own DH’s green smoothie, minus the banana, and it turned out well. Maybe not quite as kicky as when he makes it, but it was good nonetheless.

Lunch

Grass fed sirloin steak salad with 1 c. arugula, 1 seared yellow pepper, 1 scallion, and a vinaigrette made of McClure’s bloody mary mix & grapeseed oil (2 Tbsp.). Yum.

Dinner

Holla. Red snapper ceviche (snapper filet, cherry tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, shallot, lemon & lime juice) with fried plantain.

Today started out rocky. The place we went for brunch switched menus last night and had not a single dish I could order strictly off the menu. (and I was all excited about the two dishes I wanted to try)

But I rolled with it, had a great breakfast, and kept the goodness going for the rest of the day.

Breakfast

2 fried eggs, salad with vinaigrette and half an avocado.

Lunch

Coffee with coconut milk – my new love

Dinner

Got to go to my favorite clean foods restaurant – Hu Kitchen. It’s kind of like paleo Shangri-la.

Had the grain free grass fed/grass finished meatballs with tomato sauce and broccoli & kale with cashew cream sauce. Delicious and I’m already craving more meatballs.

This weekend business isn’t as all-fired scary and frustrating as I was making it out to be in my head. Whole30 takes a little more thought than just ordering what looks good, but it is certainly doable – especially if you stick to an “American” restaurant. I really wanted a Bloody Mary or other cocktail with lunch, but you know what? It’s only a month of my life – and we can always go back.

Breakfast

You guessed it … DH’s green smoothie, minus the banana.

Lunch

Stopped at a bar/pub specializing in local brews and quality food and had a grass fed burger (no bun, no cheese, no chipotle mayo) for lunch with a side field greens salad (subbed for the fries). Delicious and easy.

Snack

Energy flagging, we hit up Starbucks for a caffeine jolt and a seat. I had black iced coffee & then stopped at a bodega for some coconut water to add to it to cut the oppressiveness. Yum.

Later in the afternoon, I had to pee with no public bathrooms in sight – hit up another coffee shop for some unsweetened black tea.

Dinner

Stopped at my favorite market for house made take-and-eat dishes – Westside Market. Grabbed a grilled lemon chicken breast, some steamed asparagus, and roast mushrooms to eat at home. Easy and delicious.
