2 bananas
1 cup of ice
1cup of skim milk
2 T cocoa powder
2 T PB2 ( powdered peanut butter)
1T Truvia or Splenda (sugar free sweetener)

Day 255
Day three! Fruits and vegetables. MUCH EASIER!
Got my blood drawn today. We'll see if my fasting glucose level is OK. Hopefully DOWN!!! I hope my thyroid level is OK. I think it is down though... We will find out next week!

Day 254
Day two of the cabbage soup diet, aka,the dreaded vegetable day..... Thank goodness tomorrow I get both fruit and vegetable. The potato wasn't much of a treat. Oh well! Banana day will be loads of fun... NOT !
Poor Katie-boo has a COLD! Don't know if she going to hang in there to finish the diet. If I make it through banana day. I'll make it to the end.

Day 253
Katie and I are on the Cabbage soup diet for the week.
6 large green onions (also called “spring” onions)
2 green peppers
1 or 2 cans of tomatoes (diced or whole)
3 carrots
1 container (10 oz. or so) mushrooms
1 bunch of celery
half a head of cabbage
1 package spice only soup mix (In the US, Liptons is a good choice)
1 or 2 cubes of bouillon (optional)
1 48oz can Low Sodium V8 juice (optional)
Season to taste with pepper, parsley, curry, garlic powder, etc. (Little to NO SALT!)
Directions:
Slice green onions, put in a pot on medium heat and start to sauté with cooking spray. Do this until the onions are whiter/clearer in color (about 4-6 minutes).
Cut green pepper stem end off, then cut pepper in half to take out the seeds and membrane. Cut the green pepper into bite size pieces and add to pot.
Take the outer leafs layers off the cabbage, cut into bite size pieces, add to pot.
Clean carrots, mushrooms, and celery, cut into bite size pieces and toss them in. Add tomatoes now, too.
If you would like a spicy soup, add a small amount of curry or cayenne pepper now.
For seasonings, you can use a spice soup packet of your choice (no noodles!) or use beef or chicken bouillon cubes. These cubes are optional, and you can add spices you like instead (make sure not to add much salt, if any at all).
Use about 12 cups of water (or 8 cups and the 48 oz of Low Sodium V8 juice), cover and put heat on low. Let soup simmer for a long time – about 2 hours or until vegetables are tender.
