Day 6 of Dr. Fuhrman 10 in 20: Blended Mango Salad, Turkey Burgers with Black Beans and Mushrooms, Banana Walnut Ice Cream

Mango, Spinach, and Romaine Smoothie

Breakfast: Blended Mango Salad

1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped or 1 ½ cups frozen mango chunks
2 cups spinach
1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
¼ cup unsweetened, unflavored or vanilla non-dairy milk or coconut water
½ tablespoon ground flax seeds

Blend ingredients in a high-powered blender or food processor.

This was a decent smoothie. I put about 2 cups romaine and between that and the spinach, the greens took over the flavor. With less lettuce I might have enjoyed this more.

Score: 7/10

Quick and Easy Vegetable Pizza

Lunch: Easy Veggie Pizza (should have been a Mixed Greens Salad with Pears, Apples and Walnut Vinaigrette)

I wasn't feeling a salad and I've been craving pizza

1 large (100% whole grain) tortilla or pita
½ cup low sodium pasta sauce
¼ cup chopped red onion
½ cup artichoke hearts
½ cup fresh tomato, chopped (I used a yellow heirloom tomato)
 1 oz fresh mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Place tortilla on a baking sheet and warm for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and top with remaining ingredients. Bake for 30 minutes.

I broiled it at the end. I let it get a bit burned. The pita wasn't very good (just like Day 1's veggie pizza)


Rest coming soon...
