A Day of Healthy Substitutions

Hello all! Today I am delving into the world of healthy substitutions and comparing a day of clean eating versus a day of garbage eating.

Meal 1:
EAT THIS: Oatmeal with cinnamon, a fruit salad (it can be something as simple as an orange and an apple); scrambled eggs with a fruit salad; a glass of milk or green tea 
NOT THAT: Poptarts, frappes, donuts, nothing, etc...
Meal 2:
EAT THIS: Fruit and nuts such as strawberries with cashews or an apple and almonds; water
NOT THAT: Chips, pre-packaged trail mix, sugary coffee drinks
Meal 3:
EAT THIS:  Grilled chicken over a bed of washed, raw spinach, black beans, and water (brown rice optional)
NOT THAT: Ham and cheese on white bread with a creamy sauce, small packet of chips, soda energy drink
Meal 4:
EAT THIS: Dark chocolate and peanut butter; fruit salad and yogurt; crackers and hummus
NOT THAT: Candy bar; fruity and sugary smoothie; giant soft pretzel with dip
Meal 5:
EAT THIS: Baked salmon, half a sweet baked potato or brown rice, roasted Brussels sprouts, water
NOT THAT: Fish sticks, white honey rolls with butter, Caesar salad, beer or soda

Dessert: I like to top off my night with fruit and yogurt, you can do it like I did in this picture or follow my recipe below.
