Advocare Max Phase Day 4

Lunch

Chicken with Strawberry Avocado Cucumber Salsa

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 avocado diced
6 strawberries diced
4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cups chopped romaine
2 cups baby spinach
1/2 cucumber diced
Sea Salt
Pepper

Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a sauté pan heat on med/low and add chicken.
Next add 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar and cook chicken until no longer pink.
Lay on cutting board and cut into strips.

Wash and chop romaine, add to a large bowl, lay on paper towel to dry or use salad spinner. Then add baby spinach to the same bowl ( wash prior if needed).

Peel avocado then dice into small squares, place in a small bowl. 

Wash strawberries, cut off stems then dice into similar sized pieces as avocado then add to bowl.
Wash cucumber, you can peel if need be but I usually leave the skin on, chop up into small squares and add to bowl.
Season with sea salt and pepper to taste.

Plate romaine/baby spinach, add chicken strips as then top with salsa. Dress with 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar and enjoy!

Dinner

Orange Beef

1 lb sirloin or tenderloin steak
1/2 cup orange juice
1/8 cup honey
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp red pepper flakes
Sea salt
Black pepper

Cut sirloin into even strips prior to adding to pan. Remove as much fat as possible.

Spray a large sauté pan with olive oil spray and add sirloin. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste, drain if needed.

In a separate small pan  add coconut oil and heat on low, then add orange juice, honey and red pepper flakes. Cook on low and stir for a few min. Shut off flame and allow to cool for 2 min.
*** Sauce should not be runny, if it is add a bit more honey. You don't want the sauce thick but if shouldn't be like water either***

Pour sauce over beef and heat in low, just enough to warm up.

I used broccoli and cauliflower as my sides to mix in along with long grain brown rice. Top with orange beef and enjoy!
