I thought that posting some pictures of meals Todd and I have eaten might help with recipe ideas for people doing a May health challenge, or just wanted to eat clean in general. I also posted two charts at the bottom that are my meal plans from this past weekend through next Monday. (Bonus! The meal planning charts help me tremendously with grocery shopping!)
As a reminder, we are eating grain-free and sugar-free until Memorial Day weekend. This post explains our plan in further detail! The Clean Eating category (right column) has all of the posts pertaining to this eating plan as well.
We both did get sick (stomach bug) last week, so we went off the plan for a few days. As soon as we were able to eat normally again we were back to eating this way!
Also, full disclosure, we’ve been eating sriracha. Didn’t realize until last night that it has sugar. Dang. 🙁
Here’s what I’ve been eating:
Grain Free, Sugar Free Granola
White Bean and Chicken Soup with Kale
Grilled Shrimp Bowl (not sure what I should call this) Made this for dinner tonight and it was delish. I’ll post the instructions soon!
Again with the sriracha. This might be worth it to cheat a little. Cauliflower tossed with garlic, black pepper, GF soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. Roasted for about 30 minutes. Yum. 
The sriracha cauliflower, grilled chicken, and sauteed mushrooms (in sesame oil and soy sauce)
Vegetable and Chicken Stir Fry over Sauteed Cabbage. The cabbage takes the place of rice or noodles, and it’s actually really good and very filling.
A simple lunch: sautéed kale and grape tomatoes with leftover chicken and some goat cheese
Smoothie: typical breakfast. 
Hummus and snap peas for a snack
Chopped salad for lunch: lettuce, veggies, eggs, olive oil and vinegar, TJ’s Everyday Seasoning
Greek salad: Ground turkey cooked then seasoned with lots of dried herbs (dill, oregano, basil, parsley), garlic powder, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper; red bell pepper, carrot, olives, celery, cucumber, iceberg, spinach, feta. Dressing is a little red wine vinegar and olive oil. 
An example of lunch and snack prep. 
Used leftovers from the Greek salad for lunch with some broccoli, cauliflower, and snap peas added
2 eggs (farm fresh), avocado, steamed broccoli, sriracha
Another chopped salad: lettuce, spinach, avocado, red bell pepper, egg, tomato, feta
Granny Smith apple with almond butter mixed with cinnamon
These are some of my meal plans. This is what I plan to eat, but it doesn’t always work out exactly that way. If I know schedules are changing, I just go in and edit these accordingly. Major plus?! These have helped me grocery shop SO much more efficiently! What could be a very expensive “diet” has not turned out that way.
I hope this is helpful for some of you! If anyone has questions, please leave a comment and I’ll do my best to help you! Thank you for reading, and here’s to being almost halfway through Healthy May!
