Just wanted to jump on and give a quick overview of what I do for lunches when I am on the 30 Days program. First off, my lunches tend to be really light. I don't tend to be overly hungry after a big shake in the morning. So my lunch is always fairly small.
It is recommended that you do two shakes a day when you are doing the 30 days. I always do a shake for breakfast, but that isn't a requirement. You can have your two shakes whenever to replace a meal. However, I found quickly that I missed actually eating food when I was in my first round. So I started to try and balance the shakes out with actual food. What I ended up doing was splitting lunch.
I typically make 1/2 of a shake at lunch. Since I added in all of my extras into my morning shake, I can typically just do one scoop of protein powder with almond milk and frozen berries - strawberries are my favorite for this. Then, in order to get the sensation of actually eating something, I do one of two things. I always keep pistachios and pecans around as a snack. If I just need a little something extra on top of the 1/2 shake, I will grab a handful of nuts and call it good. If I need a little extra, I will slice up a green apple and have that with almond butter.
These quick options allow me to stick 100% to my healthy eating, and have my shake, while I still get the chance to actually eat something! For me, this was the perfect compromise. Want to give this a try? Let me know and we can find a plan that is perfect for you!
