It’s my last week of the Gut Makeover and I’m not going to lie, it hasn’t been the easiest thing to stick with in stage 4 lockdown. But I do feel good and no more tummy issues so that’s good right?
This will be the last gut makeover themed meal plan post as next Sunday will be all about dreaming about the stuff I’ll be reintroducing. I think I’ve missed legumes and sourdough the most, oh and the act of baking. I find it meditative and it’s definitely something I’ve missed with all the angst and stress that lockdown brings.
I’ve been sleeping so much better the last few weeks, and love the variety of vegetables I’m eating. But cauliflower rice, although delicious in its own right, isn’t rice. And zoodles are a great low carb option but pasta is in a totally different league. Low carb isn’t my jam, as a reset it’s been really good to fill my plate with vegetables instead.
Breakfast
Carrot cake chia pudding is a great way to mix things up in the chia pudding department.
Banana, Coconut and Strawberry Pancakes are something I’ll be keeping in the breakfast rotation.
Lunch
Cheesy Polenta with Fried Eggs, Blistered Tomatoes and greens. I’ve been swapping the polenta for babaganoush.
Roasted Za’atar Pumpkin with Blue Cheese Ranch Dressing, I’m obsessed with this dressing.
Dinner
These Chicken, Zucchini and Fennel meatballs are perfect with a bowl of roast veggies.
Lime and Black Pepper Salmon perfect with a side of green beans and cauliflower rice.
Rosemary Chicken, Sweet Potato, Pomegranate and Blue Cheese Salad, so many delicious flavours in a bowl.
Lamb, Eggplant and Almond Curry, serve with actual rice or cauliflower rice!
