Elimination Diet: Day 3, Hypoallergenic Foods

The day started off wonderfully with breakfast! Quinoa, pears and raspberries make a really pretty and tasty combination! ¼ cup of broccoli sprouts or a few dandelion leaves are supposed to be eaten before grain meals, so this morning we tried the broccoli sprouts.




Lunch was equally delicious: lentils with sauerkraut (I recently tasted sauerkraut and learned that I love this stuff! Plus it is a great form of probiotics, so it is really good for digestion.) and red onion, sweet potato, and brussel sprouts sautéed in extra virgin olive oil with a little Herbamare for seasoning. I also recently learned about Herbamare, it is so yummy and just gives that little something extra!


Dinner was a simple salad of romaine, carrots, celery, broccoli sprouts and avocado with a side of lentils. Followed by dessert! We had cinnamon apples and raisins cooked in a little coconut oil with maple syrup for sweetness.




Between meals we sipped on a smoothie. It was a great day! Energy levels are good. Mom and I are both sleeping really well at night and waking up refreshed in the mornings. Mom is missing coffee, not because of withdrawal symptoms, but more because it is a comforting thing. We’ve neither one had any withdrawal symptoms from things like chocolate or sugar. Hopefully we will stay strong in the process!
