Lunch was delicious!  I made vegetarian lentil soup.

Ingredients

3 cups dried lentils
7 cups water *I used water*

OR 7 cups vegetable stock (may need more)
1 bay leaf 

1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon sea salt 

2 cups onions, minced 
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
3 stalks celery, minced
1 sweet potato, diced

Direction

Add all ingredients to a stock pot and bring to a boil then turn down to low.

Simmer for approx 60 minutes.  
Optional: mash remaining pieces of sweet potato. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. 
(use vegan cheese for a completely vegan recipe)

Dinner of course was Ultimate ProFit Protein Shakes!

  2. Wow, kudos to you on the Real Food challenge. I might be able to make it for 7 days, but it would be difficult with my current addiction to ice cream!
