Day 2 challenge

So trying to get more fruits and veggies in, I’ve had to really think about what I was eating and how to fit it all in.

For breakfast, I made a smoothie, with spinach, acai berry juice, and 2 servings of frozen mixed fruit.

It was really good! Then I had 1/2 cup of oatmeal with 2 cups of water and 1/2 cup of blueberries and 1 TB. of dried cranberries.

By the time I got done, my oatmeal was purple from the blueberries, it was super filling!

For lunch I made the noodle bowl again from Trader Joe’s but added 3 potstickers and 2 servings of green beans and 1/2 cup of edamame.

These noodle bowls are only 99 cents and are super convenient. Although afterwards I thought I could have just made my own with chicken stock and my own noodles!

This soup took me forever to finish! I had to heat it up again, because I would work and eat/then work and eat!

I had no morning snack or afternoon snack because I wasn’t hungry. For dinner I made pasta, with sauce that I added carrots, onion, cauliflower, green pepper to, all pureed up. I had 1 cup of sauce with the pasta.

And….for dessert later, I had an apple! So I had 11 servings of fruits and veggies!!!

When I got home, there was a huge box waiting for me. It was soup from a company that is introducing new ready to eat healthy soups!

I was shocked by what they sent me!
