Meal Ideas/ Layout

Here’s an idea of what the typical shake day can look like:

To mix your shakes:

Add 2 scoops of the Isalean Shake powder to 8 oz. of cold water and blend, add ice if desired.

You can also add your favorite fruits or natural oils (like coconut or vanilla oils/extracts) to your shakes for a different flavored meal!  Take your shakes two times a day as meal replacements.

This is how it breaksdown:

2 IsaLean Shakes

1 well-balanced 400-600 calorie meal

2 small snacks, around 100-200 calories

Try to stick to 1 4oz serving of protein, a veggie, and 1 starch if hungry.  I recommend avoiding carbs for your last meal of the day, and stick to plenty of proteins and veggies for dinner!

Here is a list of different meals/snacks you can try out:

Breakfasts:

-oatmeal, topped with your favorite fruit, or add flavor with cinnamon or honey

-kashi go lean cereal or other favorite organic or whole grain cereal with a piece of fruit

-veggie scramble; 2 organic eggs or 4 egg whites, stir with a splash of milk into a bowl, sautee on med heat garlic, onions, asparagus, mushrooms, broccoli or any other veggie of choice in a small amount of olive oil or butter, add egg mixture, continue cooking on medium heat until eggs are cooked throughly.

-greek yogurt, topped with 1/2 serving of granola and diced fruit

-2 organic eggs, made ‘sunny-side up’, slice of whole grain toast, piece of fruit

-breakfast wrap; 1 egg, 2 egg whites, scrambled, add a small amount of cheese and melt with the eggs, place on a whole grain or wheat tortilla, top with salsa

Lunchs/Dinners:

(with dinner try to omit carbs when possible and stick more to proteins and veggies!)

-tuna salad (healthy version); organic whole wheat noodles, tuna, chopped celery, diced onion, cucumbers, peas, small amount of light mayo to lightly coat, salt and pepper to taste, and a splash of lemon juice

-sushi made with brown rice, seaweed salad (my favorite! byerly’s has the best selection at a great price. good for taking to work or school with you)

-turkey sandwich; whole grain bread, 3-5 oz sliced turkey, tomato, lettuce, onion, and other veggies you prefer. i use a small slice of avocado spread out on my bread in place of mayo!

-4-5 oz grilled or baked chicken breast, brown rice, and a veggie of your choice steamed

-5oz. of grilled or baked fish (salmon, tuna steak, swordfish, tilapia, cod, etc.), side salad, and a steamed veggie or baked sweet potato

-hummus veggie wrap; lettuce, bell peppers, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, spinach, wrapped with hummus in a whole grain or whole wheat tortilla.  you can add chicken, fish, or turkey, for added protein as desired.

Make sure you’re eating ever 3-4 hours and drinking plenty of water! Listen to your body’s cues- if you’re hungry, eat!

I try to schedule at least one of my shakes for after a workout so that I am replenishing my body with the best nutrition.  Also, make sure you’re drinking your shake within 10 minutes of making it to recieve the benefits from the enzymes!!!
