I made Steel Cut Oats topped with Frozen Berries for breakfast.
And this morning I did 30 minutes on the elliptical. (Sorry for the blurry photo....I'm ON the machine taking this picture.)
For lunch I had Tomato Basil Soup. So delicious.
Tomato Basil Soup (Fat Smash Phase 1: Detox)
2 large sweet onions, sliced
1 tbsp canola oil
3 zucchini, sliced
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 28-oz can crushed tomatoes
1 bunch of fresh basil, torn into pieces
grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Cook the onions in the oil until soft.
Add the zucchini and Italian seasoning and cook 10 more minutes.
Add the tomatoes and fill the can with water and add that as well.
Simmer, uncovered 25 minutes. Remove from heat, add the fresh basil.
Stir in the basil.
Top each bowl with Parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!!!
Yummm! that looks delish may just have to borrow that recipe - we are moving into winter here in NZ and some healthy soups is just what I need to keep me away from all the other bad warm comfort food over the season!
ReplyDeleteGo hard and good luck with your detox!
I always seem to lose more when I have soup for lunch!
DeleteI don't know anything about the diet but take anything one day at a time you can do it. Don't think 9 days think about getting through today. You can do anything for 1 day.
ReplyDeleteI love this outlook. You are so right. Thanks for the thought!
DeleteI love the action shot! And looks like a tasty soup -- I could eat that right now, YUM! :D
ReplyDeleteIt came out really good! I just finished a bowl :-)
DeleteWow, that soups looks amazing! I'm not really a soup person but I love saute onions and zucchini. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteMe too. The onions turn so sweet and give it such a good flavor.
DeleteMMM this soup looks so good! Wish you could mail me some haha...guess I'll have to get in the kitchen when I get home :)
ReplyDeleteHahaa! We could start a soup-swap :-) much healthier than those much overrated cookie-swaps every one does at christmas time!
DeleteThat soup looks good, and so do the steel cut oats with the berries! I always freeze everything. Are we strange... or just extraordinarily awesome?
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for extraordinarily awesome :-)
DeleteLoving the blurry pic! The soup - adding to recipes to try during this challenge!
ReplyDeleteYes!! And I most certainly almost feel right off the elliptical and into the man next to me trying to take it :-) Now THAT is what I call Blogger Commitment!
DeleteOh the frozen berries spoke to me, I need to run make a smooooothie!
ReplyDeleteThat's my favorite summer breakfast! Frozen berries, greek yogurt and some baby spinach :-)
DeleteThe soup looks delicious!
