7 Days of Clean Eating
For quite some time now, you guys have been asking me to do a 7 day example meal plan for this clean eating malarkey so I finally managed to piece everything together. It involved taking photos of every meal or snack I had but I think it was worth it to be able to show a clear representation of what I’m actually eating on a daily basis. Now keep in mind that in addition to these meals, I’m also drinking at least 2 litres of water a day (I have warm water and lemon juice every morning before breakfast) and I’m snacking on 2 or 3 other pieces of fruit in between meals. I thought it would be boring to show the same stuff over and over though so I kept it simple. I also have one cup of Green Tea a day and sometimes some Dandelion Root, Fennel & Nettle Tea too. I don’t drink any soft drinks or packaged fruit juices. I have the odd freshly brewed coffee with semi-skimmed milk (maybe 2 a week) but I generally don’t drink it much anymore.
I’ve linked to my recipes where necessary but there’s a couple of new ones which I am yet to post. Let me know if you’d like me to do more of these posts in the future!
