The Clean Program-Year 2, Week 1

(Scroll to bottom of post for Fish Taco recipe)

New Year, same cleanse! I'm ready to feel better and live healthier :) To read more about the Clean Program, you can visit their website here.


If you want to read about our experience with the Clean Program last year, you can visit the tab above that says "The Clean Program".

Day 1

Breakfast- Smoothie made with raspberries, blueberries, cherries, unsweetened almond milk, and unsweetened, dairy-free chocolate chips

Lunch- a Brandy original! 3 cups of cooked brown rice, 1 shredded humanely raised chicken breast sauteed with onion and garlic, dark red kidney beans, black beans, 1 bay leaf and some more onion and garlic for good measure!

Dinner- Juice made from carrot, spinach, kale and celery for Ryan, just carrot and celery for me.

Day 2

Breakfast-Smoothie made with raspberries, cherries, blueberries, blackberries, unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened, dairy-free chocolate chips, chia, flax meal, psyllium husks and walnuts.

Lunch- Same as Day 1

Snacks: Organic apple, 1 energy ball(dates, 4 kinds of nuts/seeds, chocolate chips, coconut oil and water put in the blender, rolled into balls and coated in coconut, so good!), carrot sticks and sliced cucumber.

Dinner- Juice made from carrot and celery



Day 3

Breakfast- Smoothie made with same ingredients as Day 2

Lunch- Same as Days 1 & 2

Snacks: Organic pear and apple, 2 energy balls, roasted parsnips, pictured above, recipe found at The Clean Program website.

Dinner- Smoothie, similar to breakfast

Day 4

Breakfast-Pretty much the same smooth as yesterday :)

Lunch- Quinoa, broccoli, spinach, asparagus, gluten-free tamari (type of soy sauce), chicken, onion and garlic....yum

Snacks: Nectarine, energy balls

Dinner- Soup I made up: frozen green peas, 3 carrots, 2 green onions, 1/2 onion, 3 cloves garlic and sea salt all thrown into the food processor. Then heated on the stove until warm but not boiling (wanted to keep it as close to raw as possible). I also threw in a bay leaf and a little garlic, onion and chile powder.

Day 5

Breakfast- They're always the same!!

Lunch- Same as yesterday

Snacks- Apple, energy balls, and these delightful crackers Ryan made out of brown rice flour, olive oil, sea salt and chia. So good! You can find the recipe on the Clean Program website

Dinner- Same as yesterday



Day 6

Breakfast- I slept through breakfast b/c it's Saturday! I'm a bum on Saturdays. Ryan had a smoothie though.

Lunch- Quinoa flakes with raspberries, walnuts, coconut oil, and a few chocolate chips, pictured above. Best thing ever.

Dinner- Mahi mahi marinated in gluten-free tamari and garlic (You're not supposed to have mahi mahi because warm water fish may have more toxins like mercury. I didn't have the shopping list with me when I went to Whole Foods, my bad) served on a bed of bok choy, asparagus, zucchini, garlic, onion, carrots, and celery, lightly sauteed.
Day 6 was a bit screwy because Ryan was fishing all day, so I waited to cook our "lunch" until he got home, around 5:30 pm. So instead of a liquid dinner, we had a solid dinner....and it was mahi, sue me.

Day 7

Breakfast- Slept through again, because I'm a slacker. Ryan had carrot, celery and apple juice.

Lunch- THE BEST FISH TACOS WE'VE EVER EATEN. Seriously. Again, we had to use up mahi mahi, so that's a no-no. We also pan fried the mahi mahi, which is probably not good for cleansing but at least we used a gluten-free breading! Ryan made tortillas--FROM SCRATCH--with brown rice flour and we sauteed some veggies to serve with the fish. We also had a simple avocado and lemon juice spread on the tortilla. Could not believe how delicious this was! Will make again for sure.


The Best Fish Tacos Of All Time
(Gluten-free)

Need:
Brown Rice Flour
Stevia
Ground black pepper
Gluten-free tamari
Garlic
White fish (if you're on the Clean program, don't use mahi mahi like we did!)
Milled flax seed
Avocado
Lemons
Olive oil
Zucchini, spinach, onion, any veggies you like sauteed


Soak fish in tamari and sliced garlic overnight in fridge. We love garlic so we used 3 cloves.

To make tortillas

Mix 2 cups of brown rice flour, 1.5 tsp of milled flax seed, 1 individual packet of Stevia in the Raw (1/4 tsp about), and 1 cup of water. Break off little balls and roll them out as thin as you can, use flour on rolling pin and surface to help. Then, with a small amount of olive oil in a pan, cook the tortillas until browned on both sides (like pancakes).
Next, sautee your veggies. We used zucchini, spinach, garlic, onion and sesame seeds.
In a separate bowl, mash together 1 avocado and the juice of one lemon.
Bread the marinated fish in a mixture of brown rice flour and black pepper and pan fry in olive oil until crispy.

Spread the avocado mixture on your homemade tortilla, add fish and veggies and enjoy: THE BEST FISH TACOS YOU'VE EVER EATEN. :)
