I have been on a desire to be healthier, and my boyfriend has been bringing it up lately too. I have decided to start a cleanse that TeamTaralynn is doing. Since I am constantly in between Indy, Bloomington, and Terre Haute right now I haven't been able to start the "full kick butt" mode yet. Sunday night I will be home, and things will get serious!!! I will even have time to work out, and hopefully when IU starts back up, I will be able to continue the routine.
I am currently on "Phase 2" (Please note I haven't been sticking to everything 100% this week). This Phase consists on 3 days of all fruit. You can choose from grapefruit, strawberries, blackberries, cranberries, blueberries, apples, oranges, lemons, limes, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, cherries, pomegranate, kiwi, pear, mandarin, apricot, peach, plum, dates, prunes, figs, tomatoes, and avocados.
Now, what you all have been waiting for my breakfast! Warm Avocado and Blueberry Salad with Cinnamon Honey Drizzle! I got the it from the UndressedSkeleton Blog. She is also the one behind the cleanse.
She grilled hers, but I baked mine. You slice an avocado longwise. I placed them in a loaf pan, and baked for 5 minutes, and then flipped them over. Afterwards, I baked for 7 minutes. After I removed the Avocado and placed them on the plate, you warm up the blueberries, by placing them in a bowl, and microwaving. This will depend on the microwave. The one that I used the spinner is rotating. I microwaved for 30 seconds. You should only need 15. Microwave the blueberries until they are hot and bubbly. (I could eat the blueberries by themselves, lasted just like a warm pie!) Place the blueberries on top of avocado.
Time for the finishing touches, use some honey and drizzle it over the salad then sprinkle with cinnamon.
I had a glass of hot lemon water (half of a squeezed lemon and boiled water) and this salad for breakfast. At first I thought that it wasn't enough, until I finish my water, but it was just enough to hold me to the mid-morning snack! I didn't really start to like avocado until I gave it after try until this summer, and now I believe I could it eat here or there, in a house or with a mouse, in a box or with a fox! If you are wondering why that sounds familiar, yes I did just use Green Eggs and Ham from Dr. Seuss. I am going to be a teacher you know. ;)
