Day 9 – Clean(er) Eating Program

Smooth & Creamy Smoothie

Only 3 days to go… the countdown is on!!! Woot Woot!!!  Here’s a glimpse into the first 8 days so far.  Today started with a wonderful green tea. Yummy!!

After the tea, I whipped up a new Smooth & Creamy Smoothy – originally I was intending to make something that was very straberry-y but it seemed to evolve into something else – I love how things evolve in the kitchen and a wonderful new creation always results

Raspberry Banana Smoothy

Again, I decided to have smoothies until dinner so I made one of my absolute favourites (ok, so I say that a lot – I think they are all my favourites ).  I made a Raspberry Banana Smoothy -

I just love the combination of raspberry, banana and almond butter – there’s just something really decadent about that combination!!  Sigh!!

And for dinner I created an Asian Style Salad.  It started with a stir-fry of carrots, snow peas, mushrooms & ginger with a little toasted sesame seed oil.  Once heated I added some thai curry sauce and coconut milk.  After heating a few more minutes I added bean sprouts and cilantro and heated through quickly.

Asian Style Salad

This was a wonderful combination and would be great on it’s own – or as a salad.  For the salad I added romaine lettuce to a bowl and then topped it with the asian vegetable stirfry… tossed & served.  Deeeee-Licious!!  Who ever said salads had to be borring!!????

Roasted Sesame Sweet Potato Wedges w/Almond “Peanut” Sauce

To complement the salad, although not necessary unless you are very hungry or need something more substantial, we enjoyed a side of  Roasted Sesame Sweet Potato Wedges w/Almond “Peanut” Sauce.  Very delicious indeed

That’s it for Day 9.  See you tomorrow …..
