  • Yield1 day plan 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz warm water
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 medium banana, sliced
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut water
  • 1/4 cup roasted pumpkin seeds
  • 4 oz grilled chicken breast
  • 2 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula)
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup cooked white rice or quinoa
  • 1/2 cup steamed carrots
  • 64 oz room temperature water (for sipping throughout day)
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1/2 tsp dried peppermint leaves
  • 3 thin slices fresh ginger root
  • 10 oz hot water


Instructions

  1. Upon Waking: Drink 16 oz warm water mixed with the juice of half a lemon.
  2. Breakfast: Prepare oatmeal according to package directions using water. Top with sliced banana.
  3. Morning Snack: Sip coconut water and enjoy a small handful of roasted pumpkin seeds.
  4. Lunch: Assemble a large salad with mixed greens, grilled chicken, avocado, and cucumber. Whisk apple cider vinegar with olive oil for dressing and drizzle over salad.
  5. Afternoon: Consistently sip room temperature water, aiming for 64 oz total by evening.
  6. Movement: Take a 15-20 minute gentle walk to encourage circulation.
  7. Dinner: Serve herb-baked chicken (seasoned with rosemary and thyme) over white rice or quinoa with steamed carrots. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the plate.
  8. For Digestive Comfort (if needed): Prepare carminative tea by steeping crushed fennel seeds, peppermint leaves, and ginger slices in hot water for 10 minutes. Strain and sip slowly.

Notes

This plan is designed for occasional water retention bloat relief. For digestive gas bloat, focus on the carminative tea and consider a low-FODMAP approach. Consult a healthcare provider if bloating is severe or persistent.
