24 day challenge: Cleanse Phase Snack and Meal Tips

it's ok to not be able to stop thinking about fro-yo and cheerios right??

ever since i started the advocare 24 day challenge, i have not been able to stop the cravings for fro-yo an cheerios...it's a problem people.
thank goodness it's only for 10 days.

the diet for the 24 day challenge is pretty straight forward,

but with all of the yummy pinterest recipes floating around out there, 

it's really easy to be bummed out and think you're going to be stuck eating celery and peanut butter for the 10 day cleanse phase of the challenge.

i would not survive.

but it's only 10 days, and after that, you're home free!

you can do it! :)

for the 10 day cleanse portion of the challenge, here were are few of my go-to's:

my go to snacks:

apple slices with peanut butter

rice cakes with peanut butter

as much fruit as i can fit in my grocery cart: grapes, nectarines and more nectarines, oranges (regular size and minis!), bananas

raw veggies and hummus

my go to at-home meals:

grilled chicken and broccoli

baked chicken and green beans (original right??)

taco salad (with ground turkey)

salad, but be careful with the choice dressing! avoid creamy or sugary dressings.

fajitas sans tortillas :(

omelets and scrambled eggs 

on-the-go meals:

chipotle - you can load up with chicken, veggies, brown rice, black beans, salsa and even guac! just no cheese or sour cream.

boston market - chicken and veggies to go! i order the half chicken meal and it's the perfect amount for bub-hub and i to split! just be sure you pull the skin off the chicken first, and try and avoid the dark meat, and good luck resisting the corn bread, which is basically impossible.

pappasitos (or your favorite mexican food haven) - fajitas are my go-to here.

it's so hard to say no to the chips and salsa and green sauce, but you can do it! you can also swap out your rice and beans for grilled veggies! avoiding temptation at every turn!

after you wrap up the cleanse, 

you can incorporate carbs, dairy and sugars back into your diet, but don't go crazy!

try to stick to complex carbs and whole wheat & high fiber breads. 

be smart with your sugars and avoid yogurts and dairy products that are high sugar and low protein. try greek yogurt, like chobani!, and load it up with extra fruit or honey for additional sweetness.

and of course, avoid fried foods.
