Chocolate Banana Shake

http://www.popsugar.com.au/fitness/Healthy-Smoothie-Recipe-Relieve-PMS-32358393
Tips and Tricks: This recipe says to use chocolate soy milk. Soy milk contains high levels of phytoestrogen, which mimics the functions of estrogen. My skin always has a major reaction to soy milk, so I'm going to substitute it with almond milk, and add a small tablespoon of cacao powder. This will also be the low sugar option too.

DINNER PLAN

View Recipe: http://www.eat-yourself-skinny.com/2011/10/lemon-rosemary-chicken-and-a-winner.html

Wednesday: Oh So Fresh Vietnamese Chicken Salad

Prep/Cook time: 30 minutes - marinade the chicken the night before.
Serves: 2

Serves: 4
Lunch Leftovers: As is
View Recipe: http://www.dish.co.nz/recipes/florentine-pork-chops

View Recipe: https://iquitsugar.com/recipe/baked-pollock-with-ginger-tomatoes-pine-nuts/
