Day 1:
Breakfast: white smoothie, apple pie flavor (apples, almonds, bananas, greek yogurt, cinnamon, milk). Taste was good, but I have a little trouble getting it down as I have a weird minor gag reflex when it comes to yogurt. The portion for one person was huge and I couldn't possibly consume the whole thing! I ate over half.
Morning snack: three Finn Crisp crackers, two slices fat free cheese. I wasn't even really hungry, but it was snack time, so I had the snack.
Lunch: red smoothie (peaches, strawberries, vanilla greek yogurt, ground flax, ice). Taste is pretty good. Still not a yogurt lover but this one is easier to consume. I was still completely full from breakfast and snack! I ate half of this one...seeing a pattern. Maybe I should adjust quantities.
Afternoon snack: South Beach Good to Go Extra Fiber bar, fudge graham flavor. This wasn't in the book, but I discovered it fits all the rules for snacks - under 150 calories, over 5 grams of protein, over 5 grams of fiber. It's pretty yummy.
Dinner: green smoothie (spinach, pear, grapes, greek yogurt, avocado, fresh lime juice). Taste was OK, but drinking something green throws me off - I'll have to get used to it. Also, I don't like the texture of avocado at all. Blech. Will replace that with almonds as my healthy fat in the future.
Overall, it wasn't a bad day in terms of food. It's a tad strange eating shakes/smoothies for each meal, but that's only for 4 more days. Doable.
