So here I am rolling into my first week back at the Carnivore/vegan menu plans. I am still weaning myself off of the meat, dairy and eggs, so be patient with me. I'm still having a bit of dairy, meat and whey (protein powder). I don't consider my cholesterol situation to be dire, and I'd rather use up the stuff I already bought than throw it away... That said, here are my plans for this week. I'll go ahead and list my breakfast and lunch this week, but not all my dinners will show the vegan options. I've got vegan meals frozen in individual packets, and I'll be eating vegan out of my freezer this week for dinner, except that I'm going to allow myself to eat meat on Monday. Love that corned beef...! You'll see a theme emerge on the breakfasts and lunches--I'm easiest to please when it is easy, and I don't have to think (as in, "I wonder what I'll have for lunch today...")

Dinner out
Are you wondering about that smoothie that I like so much? The one that keeps me sane even though I'm giving up Starbuck's? Here's my recipe:
1 cup almond milk (unsweetened, unflavored, 30 calorie kind)
1 tablespoon cocoa (unsweetened kind, I use Hershey's)
1 scoop whey protein powder (until I get it used up, then I'll look for a non-whey kind)
1 handful strawberries
1 handful chocolate chips
I blend this til smooth, and then I take off the removable piece from the lid and pop in ice cubes until it's so thick it's like a Wendy's frosty, or my blender can't take the strain. It's awesome! (It was slightly melted by the time I took this photo.)
