Day 2: Raw Lettuce wraps

 

Day 2

Today I had a bit less fruit in my morning smoothie, had great lettuce wraps for lunch and then a salad for dinner.  I snacked on fruit throughout the day.  Here's my recipe for lunch:

Ingredients:
Vine ripe tomatoes
Celery stalks
Kirby cucumber
Cilantro
Red onion
Raw cashew pieces
Raw sesame seeds
Lime juice
Avocado oil
Salt to taste
Iceberg lettuce
Baby Arugula

Recipe:
Cube all the veggies and add them to a bowl. Finely chop the cilantro and red onions and add in.  Add in the lime juice, avocado oil, salt, sesame seeds and cashews and mix.  Let stand for 20+ minutes.

 Prepare the lettuce wraps: clean and peel the leafs from an iceberg lettuce.  Then strain out the veggies for the wrap filling.  Take a leaf of the iceberg lettuce and add on some arugula and then pack on your filling- yum!

Recipe: Guilt-free mini Pizza

~ 42 Calories/mini pizza 

I wanted to experiment in trying to make a non-wheat healthy pizza.  I wanted to substitute the dough, which is really the worst part for the waistline.  What I ended up doing was substituting eggplant (aubergine) for the pizza dough.


Pizza crust:
1/2 eggplant cut into slices and dehydrated overnight
(I think this might also be doable in the oven- turn and don't allow to burn)

Pizza Sauce:
1 Can of organic diced tomatoes
1 clove of garlic
1/4 red onion
10 large basil leaves (fresh)
chop together in a food processor

Pizza:
Take your hardened eggplant and add 1-2 tbs of sauce.  Then top with a light sprinkling of cheese.  I used raw sheep cheese, but you can use a low-fat cheese for dukan.  Or just omit for bruschetta. Garnish w/small basil leaves and you've got healthy mini pizza!
