Breakfast: Blueberry & Mango Smoothie
Woke up this morning to start on my second day of The Clean Program and realized it was time to spring forward and move our clocks one hour ahead for Daylight Savings (which, by the way, a lot of people think needs to end forever). I woke up a bit late but managed to make a quick smoothie before heading out to kickboxing.
So I pulled out my usual setup…
My favorite fruit in smoothies is mango, so I will almost always add that to my smoothies. And since I got blueberries from chinatown for $1 the day before, I added blueberries to the smoothie. So there you have it – a Mango Blueberry Smoothie. It’s really that simple.

Then I always add aloe vera juice which helps aid digestion, and usually flaxseed for a dose of fiber. Finally, almond butter for some protein and blend with almond milk…
Voila! There you have it, a breakfast that takes less than 5 minutes to prepare. Just be sure you always have some fruits on hand and you won’t go hungry. Hopefully in the upcoming weeks I’ll work to explore a bit and branch out of my comfort zone to try new smoothies.
A Trip to Trader Joe’s
Lunch: Lemon & Pepper Salmon w/ Brown Rice and Braised Greens
Dinner: Mushroom Soup
Day 2 of the cleanse hasn’t been too bad, obviously, because it’s the second day. I think it’s only going to get harder after a tough day at work and I want to relax with a glass of wine…or two… Until Tomorrow!
