Here is an easy meal to fix - a slimming lunch Smoothie you can have ready in less than 5 minutes - easy, slimming, satisfying, delicious and needing very little clean-up.
Blend in blender:
- 6 oz. carrot juice (fresh, bottled from grocery store, or home juiced)
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves, or 2 Swiss Chard leaves
- 1 stalk celery, cut in peices
- 1/2 small, raw apple, cut in pieces
- 2 1-oz scoops of micro-filtered whey powder
- 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
Side dish: 2 sesame seed crackers spread with 1 tsp. peanut, almond, or cashew butter
Dessert: 2 slices of candied ginger, served with hot herb tea.
This meal will not stimulate an insulin rush which is usually followed by hunger, followed by snacking on and off throughout the PM. Because it provides for your body a good complete protein, some carbohydrate, and a small amount of fat to keep you from getting hungry, you will have no temptation to snack. The raw vegetables and fruit provide needed vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients. It is easy, nutritious, satisfying, and delicious.
Lunch at home for many women can be the least nutritious meal of the day - like 2 slices of bread with a piece of ham or cheese between (or both), a Coke, and a piece of pie or cake. Or, it may be just pie or cake with a Coke. This is the kind of meal that stimulates and insulin (sugar) rush. In an hour or two you will be hungry again and you will start snacking throughout the afternoon, and you won't be getting slimmer! And fatigue will set in quickly.
