DAY ONE:
Breakfast: Green Dreamsicle Smoothie
Lunch: Broccoli Bonanza Salad
Dinner: Spicy Lettuce Cups
The "Green Dreamsicle Smoothie" for breakfast included: unsweetened almond milk, orange zest, one orange, kale, vanilla extract, and bananas.
The "Broccoli Bonanza Salad" for lunch included: (salad) broccoli florets, green cabbage, diced celery, red onion, raw sunflower seeds, raw pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds... (dressing) water, fresh lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, raw pine nuts (soaked), raw unsalted sunflower seeds, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar and sea salt
The "Spicy Lettuce Cups" included: romaine hearts (separated)... a filling of raw almonds, raw walnuts, chopped carrot, green onion, fresh ginger, diced zucchini, lemon juice, garlic, sea salt, and cilantro... the toppings included carrot, celery, green onion, diced avocado, and fresh lemon juice
** I had an apple as my evening snack.

What I enjoyed most: The lettuce cups! I wasn't sure about it at first, but I actually really enjoyed it! This is definitely a recipe that I wouldn't mind keeping around. I found the avocado to be a necessity though -- otherwise it was a bit dry!
What I hated: The broccoli salad. No surprise there for me, since I really hate broccoli! It was do-able if you smothered it in dressing, but even then, I spit out a couple bites, haha. Not my proudest moment.
The breakfast wasn't terrible. Although it was compared to drinking vomit because of the texture, it mainly tasted like bananas.

Honestly, for a first day, this went amazingly well. I'm terrified for the beet salad on Wednesday... but I guess I'll have to tackle that one when the day arrives! Stay tuned for Day TWO... I have a feeling it's only going to get weirder from here!
