Clean eating: Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, and a before bedtime snack - if you absolutely need it. That's right..when you eat clean, you eat five to six meals a day, every day.
Lately, a common reader question has related to the "snack" portion of the clean eating lifestyle, "What the heck do I eat for my snacks?" Great question. While the "snack" options are truly endless, I'm going to try and do a better job at sharing just what I eat on any given day - whether it be breakfast, snack, lunch, or dinner.
My 3pm snack today was so simple, but decidedly worth sharing. Mind you, my diet is still limited as I am on day 17/28 of the detox, but I'm finally at the stage where it feels sort of like I am back to living the clean eating lifestyle - just minus many of favorites still...
Snack
1 Wild Rice Organic Rice Cake
A Spoonful of All Natural Roasted Almond Butter
1/3 of a Banana
4 Ounces of All Natural Unsweetened Almond Milk - or milk of your choice
You can't go wrong with these foods as long as (like with everything else) you read the labels. Rice Cakes are made of brown rice (mine had brown and wild), and in this case some sea salt - there shouldn't be anything else to it. Almond butter and almond milk is made from ... you guessed it ... almonds! Just be mindful, big name companies like to market their versions of these products as "healthy" and while some of them are definitely better alternatives than the "real" junk food, they aren't necessarily clean. Bottomline: When you have a choice, choose what's clean (typically meaning limited ingredients). Your body will reward you for it!
