Sugar-Detox Meal Plan: Week #4

We're almost starting week four! Can you believe it? I don't know about you, but everytime I go grocery shopping, I feel so good knowing that all those fresh fruits and veggies are going into my body. No junk, just real food.

I hope everyone is enjoying their newfound energy and has discovered at least one or two new delicious, nutrition-dense recipes. Don't let yourself get stuck in a rut, cooking the same thing night after night. This is the perfect time to experiment in the kitchen!

I know the novelty of a new challenge can start to wear off. To keep motivation levels up, you have to treat yourself every once in a while. Cutting out processed sugar does NOT mean you can't have dessert. The recipe below for coffee coconut cheese cake is completely free of processed sugar and absolutely delicious! Enjoy!

**Make the eggplant and carmalized onions from this recipe and throw them on an arrugala salad with some goat cheese and toasted pinenuts. For the dressing, mix together 4-5 T. balsalmic vinegar, 4-5 T. olive oil, 1-2 tsp. mustard (or 1/8 tsp. mustard powder), 1 crushed garlic clove, and salt and pepper to taste.
