Fruit/Veg Fast - Day 3

Todays' food...

• Morning Juice - Kale, beet, cucumber, apple, ginger - worst juice yet, I think I added way to much ginger, it was a tad spicy and kinda burned going down?!
• Celery, carrots, and red bell pepper dipped in homemade guacamole (avocado, green onion, tomato, lime, cilantro)
• watermelon
• bananas
• baked potato wedges
• 6oz container raspberries
• dried mangos (soooo good!)
• Portobello Mushroom Burger

Gotta say day 3 has been the hardest yet. This whole fruit and veg thing is getting old, but is definitely still doable, just gotta start getting creative now! As I was wandering the grocery store loading up the usual carrots, apples, cucumber, etc, these giant mushrooms caught my eye. I've never eaten them before but I've heard of cooking with portobellos this way and word on the street is they are "meaty". Best. decision. EVER. Fried one up just like you would a burger, piled high with caramelized onions and peppers, with tomato and a lettuce bun. My hunger feels satisfied for the first time in 3 days!

Portobello Mushroom Burger

1/2 Red onion, sliced

1/2 Red Bell Pepper, sliced

1 Portobello Mushroom

Steak Seasoning (one made of natural herbs/spices)

1 roma tomato

2-4 lettuce leaves

Start by frying the onions and bell peppers on med/high heat with a little olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. This will probably take about 10 minutes (depending on how cooked you like them) stirring occasionally. While the onion/peppers are caramelizing, heat another skillet with olive oil to med/high heat and place the mushroom top side down on the pan. Sprinkle with seasoning and cover with a lid. Turn after about 3 minutes and cook on the other side for 3 minutes. Layer burger with lettuce, tomato, mushroom, onion and peppers and top with more lettuce. 

I will definitely be having this every night for the next 5 days!
