Plant Based Meal Plan for Weight Loss #7 [ 1500cal. ]

This plant based meal plan for weight loss #7 is another ON-day. Detox mode is ON. This day is about 1500 calories, it is nutrient dense and the meals are easy to make.

We start the day with plenty of fruit, delicious and celebrated for it’s cleansing properties. Fruit is light on the digestion, rich in nutrients, fiber and gives great energy.

On ON-days there is lot of raw food. The majority of the calories comes from fruit and starchy vegetables like potatoes, sweet potatoes and pumpkins. Fat and protein are lower. Lower fat helps the liver detox, lower protein encourages the body to recycle old damaged proteins.

Intermittent fasting enhances the natural proces of autophagy. This is when the body eats and recycles its own damaged cells and toxines.

Watermelon & Apple Almonds Banana Milk [ 390cal. ]

Summer is THE fruit season! Melons are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and nutrients, and are amazingly delicious when ripe.

Ripe watermelons are very alkaline. They are high in fiber and with a water content of 92%, watermelon is a great source of beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamin C and is super hydrating. It also works as a mild diuretic. Watermelons can be an important part of a detox or a liver cleanse program.

Have you tried watermelon with a passion fruit scooped on top? It is the perfect combination of sweet and tart. A ripe passion fruit is wrinkly and a bit shrunken on the outside.

Lettuce Broccoli Salad & Hemp Celery Dressing [ 342cal. ]

Lunch is a generous bowl of fresh greens, onion, olives, steamed green peas and broccoli topped with a creamy, omega 3 rich hemp celery dressing.

Raw onion can be something important to get used to. All onions but raw especially may have anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immune boosting benefits. These compounds are activated when chopped or chewed raw.

Lettuce Broccoli Salad

• 2 cups or more chopped greens
• 1,5 cup broccoli florets, steamed
• 3/4 cup green peas, steamed
• 4 green olives
• 1/2 red onion, sliced finely

I like to have steamed or oven baked vegetables in my fridge so I can easily make a quick salad when needed. You can add lukewarm or cold broccoli and peas to your salad. Add everything to a bowl and top with the hemp celery dressing.

Hemp Celery Dressing [ 138cal. ]

This is a delicious and quick dressing. A good dressing needs a fat, a salty component, a bulking agent to make it a little more body, something sour and something sweet for the right flavor balance.
