Woop! Day 17, that means I'm only four days away from a slice of pizza, right?!
Let me clarify...there are so many things that I have learnt and loved on this detox, and I will do a full round up at the end, but a world without pizza is just not one that I want to live in....dramatic I know, but it's the one thing I've really missed throughout the last few weeks!
Anyway, enough of the F.P. (Foodporn) and onto Day 17.
09.00 am - Hot Water with Lemon
09.15 am - Granola with Almond Milk and Blueberries
11.00 am - We went to our friends house for Brunch. Liz and Mark put on the most amazing spread, seriously, had anyone left me alone in a room with those pancakes I could not vouch for their safety!
I managed to be really healthy for the first hour or so - I had a spoonful of Scrambled Egg and some Smoked Salmon, and then there was this Croissant. It was literally staring me down and begging to be eaten so um....I did just that! I know, I know! I did consider not sharing that information with you but this blog is nothing if not honest, AND I had Butter and Jam! WTF?! My brain literally fell out of my head and my stomach took over....but you know what? It was the most delicious little Croissant in the whole wide world.
16.00 pm - I had Four Scallops Pan Seared with Balsamic Vinegar, yum! I know that sounds so random but we bought them on Saturday for our Fishy Feast but didn't end up eating them.
19.30 pm - We hadn't been food shopping for a while so I scoured the fridge and cupboards for some ingredients to make a salad. Here's what I found:
1 x Chicken Breast
Halloumi Cheese
Sweet Potatoes
Avocado
Red Onion
Courgette
Red Pepper
Yellow Pepper
3 x Mushrooms
8 x Cherry Tomatoes
Pumpkin Seeds
Salad Leaves
I made some Roasted Med Veg out of the Onion, Courgette, Peppers, Mushrooms and Tomatoes. You just chop it all up and put it in a roasting tray with a splash of Olive Oil and some Italian Herbs (I used dried). The oven should be about 180 degrees and these will take about 30 minutes.
I cut my Sweet Potatoes into wedges and baked them in a bit of Coconut Oil for 30 minutes or so.
I then sliced my Chicken Breast in half and popped it on a griddle pan, when it was cooked I added a few slices of Halloumi and griddled them too.
And then it was just an assembly job! Oh, we had a little Balsamic Dressing on the side too. Just some Balsamic Vinegar, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a little teaspoon of whole grain mustard whisked/shaken together!
What do you think? I'm going to name it the "Fully Loaded Super Salad", unless of course that breaks any kind of copyright, in which case, I take it all back!
Oh, and as a side note I'm fairly sure the Halloumi is an Illegal Detox Manoeuvre but it was only two slices and nowhere near as bad as the croissant right?!
Breaking News! Fi announced another Detox is due to start on Feb 3rd on Facebook yesterday....who's game?!
