5-Day Healthy Eating Challenge
Basic guidelines and handy tips:
~Buy Organic when you can (Fruits/Veggies/Meats)
~Almond milk over Cow milk always!
~Grass fed beef if you can (No antibiotic or steroids)
~Flash frozen or fresh when it comes to veggies! Never canned!!
~If there is a “low sodium” version…….buy it!
~If you don’t eat tuna, please sub a snack from a different day.
~If you are drinking Shakeology daily, you can substitute it for whichever meal you’d like. I
suggest going through the menu in detail to make sure that the meal you pick isn’t use for
leftovers on a different day.
~This menu is designed to be easy to follow with easy to prepare meals that are healthy.
Convenience is key! If you don’t enjoy eating the same thing for breakfast 5 days in a row, mix
it up and have your Shakeology on Tuesday and Thursday for breakfast!
~This menu is not perfect. If there is something that isn’t working for you, please reach out to
me and we can find a good alternative.
~A Vegetarian menu is being developed for future 5-day groups.
~Planning is the key to success. Please read through the menu plan and note that the No Crust
Quiche can be baked Sunday night or Monday morning, depending on your schedule. Look at
the lunch menus carefully, as some recipes require preparation the night before. Thursday
night will be the dinner that takes the most time to prepare and cook. Plan ahead!!
