My favourite meals are smoothies...only 2-3 ingredients. If you mix too many fruits, the taste gets gross.

I love oranges + romaine lettuce
bananas + dates
bananas + lettuce etc. If you have a large thermos even two, it will carry well from morning till evening.

Good luck,

Green smoothies all the way

Mango and spinach
Kale and berries
Bananas go with both above, try a few out and you'll soon get some favs

Do you mean sitting down for the act, or food prepping and the whole thing?

I haven't found a way to eat my dinner meal in less than an hour, because it usually contains at least 2 heads of lettuce and all that chewing just takes time. My husband gets frustrated with me, he says that I spend way too much time eating. What's a girl to do?

I do them very often, but I don't always like to drink my meals. So one night I might make a smoothie, the next a big salad, or I'll have a green smoothie for lunch and salad for dinner.

My fav is: 16 oz of water, 4-5 bananas, 3 medjool dates and 1-2 cups of kale or romaine, escarole or chard.

I concur that green smoothies rock. When I was working a lot I would drink a giant green smothie for breakfast and then just snack on plain fruits and veggies for the rest of the day. After 6PM the most I would consume is tea and honey.

A hand-held lemon reamer works great for grapfruits and lemons too. Have you seen the little ones that are not much bigger than a potato peeler?

Eating mono meals takes no time at all really. 811rv rocks in terms of saving time. For little sugar boosts I sometimes keep a jar of honey with me and have a teaspoon or two every hour. It works well to keep focus, but I wouldnt suggest doing it for days on end.

hello. Yh I seen the peelers, but I like cutting. How long would it take you to eat a mono meal, and what mono meals do you eat

Doug really emphasizes mono meals of 1 type of fruit and lots of it. Let's say you require 2000cal a day, that would break down to 8 bananas for breaky /morning, 8 apples for lunch/afternoon, 2 oranges before dinner, 1/2 C avacado, kale + lettuce. Simple.
