Break the Sugar Addiction Menu Plan

Week One Menu Plan of Breaking the Sugar Addiction

At the request of my nineteen-year-old daughter, I have devised a plan to break the sugar addiction she was battling on a daily basis. The struggle is real! The Pinterest Board for the recipes can be found on my corresponding Pinterest Board below, as well as by clicking on the links included in the text below.

In addition, I have also added pictures and links of the recipes I created to my Pinterest Board so that I could have as much as possible in one place. Please scroll to the very bottom of this post to find the Pinterest board link, I did not add pictures of all in the post, so I have shared them on my Pinterest Board at the bottom! *scroll down*

From Haley, “I have never felt so satisfied than I did this week. I was able to resist the temptation of sugar, which I haven't been able to do in years!“

Breakfast

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. Runner's Smoothie: here's the LINK
            2. Energy Toast; smoked salmon with cucumber and sprouts on toast
            3. Avocado and strawberry toast w/ feta and sprouts recipe
            4. Quick Almond Chia Pudding (Pinterest with modifications)
            5. Ratatouille Omelette with Goat Cheese and Microgreens
            6. Poached eggs on Ezekiel toast w/ spinach and onions
            7. Baby quiche with spinach, ham (just add whatever you like to this basic quiche recipe)

LUNCH

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. *Rainbow Planetbox: Boiled eggs, bell peppers, carrots, olives, strawberries (see the video of these lunch boxes here)
            2. *Tuna Salad Wrap with Tomato Salad, raspberries
            3. Meatballs, Caesar salad, green and purple grapes (I substituted oat flour in this recipe)
            4. Banh Mi Spring Rolls, cucumbers and berries
            5. Grilled Chicken, cherry tomatoes, cheese, and blackberries
            6. Leftovers or protein shake/smoothies (on weekend) (*Momables) actually I always fill in the gaps with protein shakes

DINNER

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. BLT bowl (Pinterest) + Rice for kids
            2. Sweet Potato stuffed with Chipotle Chicken (Pinterest) and side salad (I posted a picture of mine on Pinterest but I forgot to add the spinach, but that's ok because we had it on the side mixed in with the RX Salad)
            3. Buffalo meatballs (I used oat flour instead of Panko; use leftovers or extras for lunchboxes)
            4. Grilled Salmon w/ avocado Salsa  & Zoodles Greek Salad
            5. Miso Glazed Fish w/ Salad and Lentils (this was fun as the fish recipe calls for cooking with vodka!)
            6. Lemon and Ginger Chicken Thighs, brown rice or quinoa, steamed broccoli, carrots and onions
            7. *Guacamole Tostadas with Fried Eggs (Recipe from Momables)

Breaking the sugar addiction means no honey, maple syrup, Sucanat or even coconut sugar, however stevia, erythritol and xylitol are considered safe for this type of diet. Xylitol has even been said to fight candida, the bacterial overgrowth that can contribute to sugar cravings. (see ref)

Here is a rough list of what I bought, although, I did not include amounts on most things, as I am shopping for 7-8 people on average in a wide age range, so my quantities will be very different from yours, please adjust your list accordingly.) Over the years some of the bloggers I followed and linked back to have shut down their websites, I've swapped out the recipes for new ones – so you will want to double-check your grocery list!
