Day 1 was a success! For breakfast I woke up fried and egg and threw together a NutriBullet juice with a handful of spinach, a few chunks of pineapple, some blueberries and almonds. I use coconut water as my water filler and it is delish.
For lunch I had leftover turkey cabbage (which I spilled on myself so it was a smaller lunch than anticipated) and a banana for a snack. I came home and went straight to cooking dinner. I decided to make:
Paleo Chicken Curry with Zoodles
What you need:
-3 large chicken breasts
-Coconut Oil
-Coconut Cream
-Red Curry Paste
-Fresh Herbs (I used basil and curry)
-A dash of honey
-Spinach
-Zuchinni Squash
Red Pepper flakes (if you like spicy)
-Fish Sauce (I did not have any but this is what the curry paste calls for)
It was a really simple recipe. I cut the chicken into strips and cooked it until done in coconut oil. While that was cooking I got a can of coconut cream and added a tablespoon or so of curry paste. I let that simmer for about 5 min and tasted it- I like a more flavorful curry so I added a few more spoonfuls (which is more than the recipe on the paste says). I also added a little squirt of honey for some sweetness.
I grabbed some fresh herbs from my herb garden and threw them in the curry. After the sauce was to my liking I added it to chicken and let the chicken simmer in the sauce. I then added a handful of spinach and went to cut the Zoodles. After the Zoodles were done I added them too.
I let all of this simmer together until the hubs got home and we ate! Then I went to my indoor soccer game (yes, I am playing again after the ankle) and got my workout in. Day 1=Successful.
