SuperDiet: Day 1
Breakfast: Mango SuperBowl
Lunch: Asian Ginger Veggie Wraps with Brown Rice
Dinner: Quinoa and Summer Veggies with Grilled Chicken Breast
Start the day off with a refreshing mango and muesli treat. Your mangoes should be ripe and your muesli should be oatey. Kefir for digestion, oats to stave off hunger, and mango for the sweet tooth will keep you satisfied.
Infuse some Eastern style into you lunch with Asian Ginger Veggie Wraps with Brown Rice. The cool crunch of sweet peas, peppers, sprouts and carrots in a hearty spinach or whole wheat wrap will have you saying “sayonara” to unhealthy food.
For dinner, experiment with quinoa… an amazing superfood with all nine essential amino acids humans need. Grilled chicken breast and summer veggies blend well in a lemony garlic sauce.
Recipe:
Mango SuperBowl
Cut 1 ripe mango into small cubes, and place it in a small bowl. Add 1 cup of fresh muesli. Try to use a homemade or an unsweetened version, as store-bought muesli mixes can be laden with sugar. Sprinkle 2 tbsp wheat germ on top. Grind 2 tbsp flax seeds in a coffee grinder and sprinkle it on top for Sweeten to taste with organic agave nectar or honey. Stir. If you let it sit for a few minutes, the oats in the muesli will soften, and the natural sweetness of the mangoes is drawn out. The oats in this breakfast will keep your blood sugar stable and keep you full longer than any sugary cereals or empty-calorie bagels ever could.
