21 Day Sugar Detox Day 4 + New Recipe

Day 4--what's up with you?  Why are you torturing me?  The crazy cravings have hit and it's not fun.  Easter candy--obviously not surprised.  Pizza--yep.  Cheeze Its--huh?  I don't even eat those fake cheese crackers so why am I craving them?  Should I have eaten more meat in my breakfast?  I have no idea.  Sigh.

Other than a bit of low energy today, I feel fine.  No headaches or digestion issues so far.  I created a delicious frittata for breakfast this morning, partly in an effort to use spinach and smoked salmon before it went bad.  Check it out.

As a reminder, I am Level 2 with energy modifications.

Day 4

   Breakfast: Organic coffee with unsweetened coconut and almond milk

                     Water
                     1 green tip banana + 1 TBSP almond butter
                     1/2 of spinach and smoked salmon frittata
                     

Spinach and Smoked Salmon Frittata

Ingredients

     2 TBSP coconut oil, divided

     1/4 cup chopped onion

     As much smoked salmon as you like (or other protein)

     Generous handful of spinach

     4 large eggs (I used Vital Farms brand)

     2 TBSP coconut milk

     Salt and pepper to taste

Heat 1 TBSP of coconut oil in a small skillet over medium heat.  Once heated, add onion to sauté while you complete next steps.

Place other TBSP coconut oil in a cast iron skillet.  Preheat your oven to 350 F and place the skillet in the oven.

Add eggs to mixing bowl and whisk.  

Add coconut milk, spinach, smoked salmon, salt and pepper to mixing bowl with eggs and combine.  Once the onions are cooked, add to mixing bowl.

Remove cast iron skillet from oven, add mixture from mixing bowl to skillet and cook on stovetop over medium heat for 5 minutes.

Put skillet back in oven for 12-15 minutes or until top of frittata is puffy.  While skillet is still in oven, turn the broiler on high and cook for an additional 5 minutes.  Be sure to watch the top so that it does not burn.

Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a plate.

With any frittata, get creative with the add-ins: any vegetables you have on hand, leftover protein from the night before or cheese.

   Late Morning Snack: 1 Apple Banana Cinnamon Cookie (recipe here)

   Lunch: Spinach and kale salad

                2 slices Applegate farms roasted turkey breast

                1/4 yellow bell pepper

                ~5 cherry tomatoes

                ~1/3 avocado

                Hemp hearts

                Drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette 

                La Croix Berry sparkling water

   Afternoon Snack: Grapefruit and 1 Apple Banana Cinnamon Cookie

   Dinner: Whole Foods rotisserie chicken (leg and thigh)

                Whole Foods Seaweed salad
                Brussels sprouts with crispy capers and bacon from the 21 Day Sugar Detox       
                quick start guide book.

Any chance pizza is compliant with the 21 DSD?  Joking:)
