Day 1 of #livingclean410aday challenge. 

I found it pretty easy food wise. Was hard not to use my usual staples of coconut oil, Manuka honey, vanilla protein powder etc. I’m only allowed to use herbs and spices to flavour my food. I really really missed my coffee today as well. But I had a boiled water instead. Still felt like I was drinking something nice I guess hahaha. 

Meal 1 – Green overnight oats. 

Meal 2 – 2 X Quinoa rice cakes. Sweet & Savoury. 

Meal 3 – Bolognese and Zoodles. 

Meal 4 – Tofo and egg Zoodle rice stir fry.

Now all I want is healthy chocolate. But I guess I will have to wait to Saturday. 😭. Will post the recipes up on the blog tonight.
