Starting paleo diet! I am hoping I can last for at least 2 weeks, I am now 3 days in and going strong!
First thing I did was went to the Farmer's market and got some fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, and nuts! I got all this plus 3 small bags of nuts for $30; that's pretty good!
After the farmer's market trip, I made a successful arm and ab workout!
After my workout, I made a fresh smoothie! Just add water and ice
At the farmer's market, I got 8lbs of oranges for $2.50! I wanted to make some fresh squeezed orange juice. From the 8lbs of oranges I was able to get 75oz of fresh OJ!
It only lasted me 3 days because it was so delicious!
At the farm'ers market I bought golden beets. I have never tried golden beats before, and honestly, I don't eat beets very often! I know they are good for me, so I thought I would give them a try in a salad!
Before making the salad, I cut the both ends off of the beets, wrapped them individually in tin foil, put them on a baking sheet and roasted them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 45 minutes. I let them cool completely, then peeled off the skin and thinly sliced the beet.
For the salad, I used roasted golden beet slices, arugula, white onion slices, orange slices (peeled), walnuts, lemon juice, olive oil, pepper, and sea salt!
I was very impressed with the salad! I ended up making the same salad 4 times it was so delicious :)
Also with my lunch, I made a fresh fruit salad with sliced apple, strawberries and kiwi; with fresh squeezed lemon juice and some fresh mint!
I can't wait for the farmer's market this week! It is so fun to explore all the different produce and for relatively low prices! Perfect for my paleo plan.
WOW seriously it looks so healthy, I really hope that you could stick with this diet because you know what people say, it's not so easy but I'm sure everyone can try it out. Healthy food = radiant glowing skin. Good luck! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! I may not be able to stick with the full paleo diet, but I think that it can help me gain more self control and learn new ideas about clean eating. I enjoy cooking and eating healthy already so it's not as hard, but there are definitely parts that are difficult. I enjoy experimenting though, so we shall see how it goes! :)
