Day One of 30 Day Health Tune-Up

Day one!

Last night I made the trip to Market Organics to pick up some of the items my pantry was lacking, but I actually had a lot of plant-based products in my possession already, so I was pretty set to go!

Here's what I already had (not including the fresh fruit and veg in my fridge):





Here's what I picked up from Market Organics:



It was good to have the Wellness Warrior Coaching discount at the checkout, but I shudder to think what my bill would have come to without it! Oh well, I've always been one to spend more money on food than anything else in my life, so no regrets!

I still need to pick up some more produce and specific ingredients in order to make some of Deb's recipes, and I fully intend to channel Alicia Silverstone and Ruth Tal this month as well!

With the goodies I did have, I started this 30 days out right. I crawled out of bed and made myself a green smoothie of kale, hemp hearts, frozen blueberries, banana, and water. I usually use almond milk in my breakfast smoothies, but Deb used water and it created a greener, fresher taste, so I thought, why not try it? It was good, green and a great way to start the day!

Snacks today were apples and almonds, lunch was a salad with chickpeas, avocado and veggies with lemon juice dressing rather than oil, and dinner was a veggie quinoa dish of whatever I had on hand: turnips, winter kale, mushrooms and zucchini, cooked with Braggs and turmeric with a splash of lemon juice and served in a bowl with quinoa. Not bad for an experimental dish!

It's teatime now and then it's off to bed to get ready for day 2! I am pretty encouraged by the fact that most of what I'll be eating for the next 30 days is what I already eat, with the addition of some new protein sources and subtraction of some unnecessary fats and of course, the big 3: eggs, fish and goat cheese.

Thanks for joining me on the journey! I look forward to sharing more recipes soon :)
