a plan for healthy eating....

"Except for accidents, all the repair and regeneration of our body must come from within." ~Dr. Norman Walker

I had a super birthday weekend filled with family, friends, fun....and a lotta great food. It was all capped off yesterday with a brunch with 9 of my fave peeps at Holly Hill Inn. Truly delightful.

I knew I needed a plan for the week to get back to healthy and wholesome eats (what lemon pie and chocolate peanut butter cupcakes aren't healty eats?)Off to the grocery store I went to peruse and purchase green goodness and such. Plus when I did my handy Ayurveda survey the number one thing you all wanted to learn more about was developing healthy habits and patterns. So here we go......

Back at the Big Blue House I spent a couple hours in the kitchen getting prepped and ready for the week. Green smoothies were first on the list. I used a head of romaine lettuce, celery, an apple, banana, pear, and juice of a lemon for about 75 ounces total. I used a cup of water in each batch. I had to make two batches in my blender (someday I will have you Vitamix)
The plan was to make five green smoothies and freeze them in mason jars. Each night I'll take one from the freezer and put it in the fridge to be drank the next day.


I also sliced veggies to have them ready for salads and snacking and dipping into hummus. I only do this if I know they'll be eaten in the next few days and will veggies that won't get soggy. I sliced celery, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. I also have black beans ready for salads and wraps.
I made mine and Andy's lunch for today. Here is Andy's. I added the bell peppers, black beans, and corn to the mason jar. I added salsa on top (we eat tons of salsa around here) so it should have all the beans and veggies marinated nicely when he adds it to his spinach today.
There you have it! With a blender, fruits and veggies, and a few mason jars you've set yourself up for healthy eating for the week. Enjoy.....
