Day 2 of 365 - Vegetables For Breakfast

Checking out recipes from a few of my favorite plant based cookbooks - Plant Pure Nation, Love on a Plate and Thug Kitchen


Day 2 of 365 - I felt a little nauseous and drained today. I knew to expect this as my body detoxes from sugar. It usually takes about a few days to a week to get past those symptoms. If it gets real bad, I eat a few nuts which slows the detox down a little bit. I ate a few peanuts today, which isn't ideal (walnuts or almonds are better), but it helped.

Chef AJ recommends eating one pound of non-starchy vegetables for breakfast. Normally, this would be no problem for me because I love spinach smoothies, but Chef AJ recommends eating the veggies whole to have satiety. That makes sense, but I don't have a lot of ideas springing to mind as my sweet tooth gravitates towards fruit for breakfast. 

Fortunately, Wendy of Healthy Girl's Kitchen started a Facebook Group for everyone who is in the Ultimate Weight Loss (UWL) program to share what vegetables they are eating for breakfast which will be helpful to give me ideas for variety so I don't get burned out eating the same thing every day. I'm also going through my plant based recipe books for some ideas!
