It's as complicated as you make it

Something that many people ask for, when they start out on the Sleekgeek 30-Day Reboot eating plan, is a meal plan. (The Sleekgeek team are happy to supply you with one. Just ask.) Personally, I love the freedom to check out the Allowed and Allowed-in-moderation lists and come up with my own interesting and tasty combinations. I think it's because I'm easily bored, and yes, ''creative''.

I can assure you that ALL my friends and family reading this are thinking, "But wait.... aren't you the one who hates cooking?!" Guess what - not anymore!

So, one of the things I do every evening is prepare the next day's lunch and snacks. I eat what's allowed (with a few minor exceptions*), and I have fun - I love different textures and colours, and even temperatures.

I make sure my lunch has protein, then I add salad, and occasionally a hot veg. For my morning snack, I have nuts (protein = brain food) and when money's too tight for nuts, I must admit, I snack on Salticrax*. Plain, and not the whole box, asseblief!

My afternoon snack, which I usually eat in the car on my way home, is sliced fruit.

By the time I get to work, I look like I'm about to give  a Tupperware demonstration.

So, here's my stuff for tomorrow:

Top left - salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber and yellow pepper). Top right - sliced apples and oranges.
Bottom left - oven roasted sweet potato chips. Bottom right - Yumscious Chicken!

Tonight I did a small variation on a theme, to produce my Yumscious Chicken:
1. I melted coconut oil in a pan. (We cook with coconut oil most of the time.)
2. I made a smoortjie with garlic, red pepper and tomato. Seasoned with salt.
3. I set the smoortjie aside, leaving a bit in the pan.
4. I sliced two chicken breasts (enough for two meals) into little strips, and seasoned them with salt, pepper and a dash of sweet chili sauce.*
5. I  added more coconut oil to the pan, turned the heat up, and tossed the chicken in.
6. When the chicken looked nice and happy, I put the smoortjie back in the pan, and added some chopped fresh dhanya and a little bit of coconut milk. Voila! Yumscious Chicken!   

Remember I said one of my 6 rules was to enjoy every day of my life? Well, can you see why?
It's as complicated as you make it. I really can't wait to eat my lekker lunch and snacks tomorrow.

(Oh my word, I feel like a food blogger!)
