Advocare Cleanse Recipes

It's been too long. But it's been busy...we had the holidays and then I moved (still in the same town) so once I got settled in the new place, I started Advocare. I'll explain. 

Some of my friends that I saw on a weekly basis during November and December had become very outspoken about their "dieting"; all I heard about was "blah blah blah advocare!" Over the next few weeks (not months y'all, WEEKS) I was watching my friends slim down. One of them literally disappeared in front of my very eyes. I decided it was time to listen to what they had to say about advocare and let me tell you- I'm still listening and I'm still learning, but I've been on advocare for 9 days now and I can tell you I've seen a difference (saw a difference on day 5). Other people have too.

Just last night someone walked up to me and said "I have to tell you that you and Paul are really slimming down and it's really noticeable." This came at a time when I was tired of it. I was tired of the clean eating, I was tired of the fiber drink, I was tired of the no alcohol (not that I'm an alcoholic, but I do miss being able to have a beer or glass of wine), but when I hear that someone is noticing my attempt at being healthy--it gave me the strength to go on for the next few days. 

Paul and I decided to just do a 10 day cleanse (believe it or not he was more anxious to get started than I was. It was refreshing).

Ok, on to the recipes. Basically for 10-24 days you eat clean. I really don't know if I could have done this without Pinterest or Google. Seriously. These are just three of the "new things" I tried. Apart from these recipes, we ate a lot of tilapia and broccoli. Haha. 

I didn't take pictures so I'm just going to post the links to the web pages for the recipes. They are all easy and all include chicken. 

The first one was a chicken/corn casserole. http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/main-courses/cheesy-chicken-and-rice-bake/

The second was a southwestern chicken chili in the crockpot. 

And last, but not least, the third one was an Italian chicken bake with green beans and potatoes. This recipe is from a woman who actually did the Advocare 24 day challenge. http://www.melissasbargains.com/italian-green-beans-and-chicken-bake/

I will do the 24 day challenge at some point; the 10 day cleanse was advocare's audition to become a permanent thing in my life and it made the cut. Try advocare, try these recipes, you'll be pleasantly surprised. 

Enjoy!
