Advocare 24 Day Challenge Cleanse Phase Day 2

Breakfast


Steel cut oats with cinnamon,apples and pears

1 cup steel cut oats 
4 cups water
2 apples diced
2 pears diced
2 tbsp. cinnamon
2-3 Tbsp. chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla
A pinch of allspice or nutmeg

Pre-cook oats the night before. Bring water to a boil then add oats, cover and refrigerator.
In the morning peel apples and dice them along with dicing pears. Toss them into pot of oats, add spices and vanilla, bring to a boil and simmer 9-12 min depending on how thick you like your oatmeal.
Top with pecans and enjoy!


Lunch


Diced chicken and cucumber salad

1 chicken breast
16 oz. black olives
2 cucumbers
15 grape tomatoes
2 tbsp basil
1 tbsp granulated garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Wash then slice cucumbers and tomatoes in quarters so they look like little triangles. Cut black olives in thirds and mix all in a big bowl. Next add basil, garlic, olive oil and balsamic vinegar to cucumber mixture. Pour black beans into a strainer and wash before adding to mixture. 
Spray frying pan with olive oil spray, take chicken and cut into cubes before cooking. Sprinkle some basil and garlic onto chicken as it simmers.

While chicken cooks cover your bowl and shake up or stir cucumber mixture. I just used tupperware and shook if until well mixed.
Place mixture in bowls and add chicken on top after is thoroughly cooked.


Dinner


Sesame salmon

2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp aminos ( substitute for soy sauce)
1/2 tsp siracha sauce
1/2- 1 cup of sesame seeds

Take a baking sheet and line it with foil, take salmon or salmon steaks and place on foil skin side down. Mix all ingredients except sesame seeds in a small bowl. Brush sauce mixture onto salmon, sprinkle or pat sesame seeds onto salmon and bake at 450 for 10-25 min give or take depending on your oven and size of salmon. Once the salmon flakes it's done.
I added a side of quinoa that was boiled in chicken stock
plus some steamed spinach!
