March Group 24 Day Challenge

Here we go!  Beginning the first 24 Day Challenge of 2015!  Time to get my body cleansed up and back on track for Spring Break and Summer time!  
Eating a healthy diet is so much easier when you get your refrigerator stocked up with the healthy foods you will need... especially when doing something like the Challenge.

So... I've got my meal plans ready- my grocery lists made and my meal prep begun.

This is the link to the "book" of all of the above for my challenge this time!

All of the recipes that I choose are just recipes I know I enjoy and that I tweek in order to fit the challenge requirements...  Most of these recipes were from me, my friends, or pinterest.  

Recipes like: Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas, Roasted Chickens, smashed cauliflower... that tastes better than mashed potatoes... and even SKINNY ALFREDO!  Never thought I'd be able to have some of these things on a challenge but sure enough... you can do anything as long as it's in moderation!  

Hope you enjoy these recipes!  I had so many to choose from this time around... it was hard to decide which ones I would cut our.  And I'm always open to even more suggestions- so if you've got more delish, healthy options.. please share!

Day 4: Asian Chicken Stir Fry

Sooo... I had to switch up my pre-planned menu tonight.  For as organized and prepared as I was, I completely forgot to take my brother's birthday into account.  He requested that I make a stir fry with teriyaki chicken.  So, I obliged.  However, I made my own chicken a little differently.  But other than that we all ate the same thing and it was delicious!

Today's Menu:
Breakfast:  Veggie Omelet with leftover Turkey Bacon
Snack 1: Apple
Lunch: Spinach Salad with 2 hard boiled eggs
Snack 2: Carrots and Broccoli
Dinner: Below...

Asian Chicken Stir Fry (Advocare Cleanse or Max Phase Friendly)

Chicken:
Marinade in a ziplock bag with 2 Tablespoons of Liquid Amino Soy Sauce.  I only had one piece of chicken... I would recommend using 2 T per piece of chicken, or just until it is sufficiently covered for marinading.  Let marinade for at least 20 minutes.

Vegetables:
1 clove garlic, minced
1 green pepper, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
4 zucchinis, chopped
2 bunches broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
1 large onion, sliced
Liquid Aminos Soy Sauce
1/2 t Ground Ginger
I also just happened to have 1/2 a bag of frozen peas and carrots that I threw in for extra color :P

In a large pot/wok spray with No fat/No calorie cooking spray.  On Medium-High heat sautee garlic and peppers for about 5 minutes or until tender.  Add zucchini and onion, cook for another 5 minutes adding just enough soy sauce to lightly coat the veggies so that they don't burn in the pan.  Add remaining veggies, cook for another 5 minutes.  Reduce heat to low.

Once veggies are started, put chicken on grill or sautee in a pan until white in the middle.

I also grilled some pineapple to add some sweetness.

Serve with brown rice!
