Health & Happiness Cleanse: 4th of July

Hey everyone! Happy 4th of July! I hope you are all doing fun 4th of July type activities. I've decided to lay low today and just kind of be mellow. So far I've eaten very healthy meals but have nothing planned for dinner. I don't know what I want and I don't know what I'll have but I am going to try to make it healthy and cleanse friendly. I don't think it'll be too difficult considering my fridge is packed with gorgeous produce. I have eaten breakfast and lunch so far.... I might do a juice a little later if I get hungry or I'll just enjoy dinner.

I also did a little bit of prep so I have some other quick options to grab since salads and veggie dishes can be time consuming to make from scratch. I'll show you those as well! One of them is a sweet treat that came out SOOOOOOOO GOOD!


For breakfast I was craving some oatmeal so I made some oats with cinnamon and peanut butter mixed in to it and topped it with some banana and coconut. Oh my goodness it was so decadent and delicious but super healthy at the same time!


I *attempted* to make another batch of baked fritters today but decided to get all crazy and change up the recipe. These are broccoli, zucchini and corn fritters and these are the only two that baked up into normal pancakes. I don't think I got all of the water out because the other ones were just gooey and fell apart. I had the two surviving fritters for lunch with a slice of avo toast.


I salvaged the other fritters and made them into a hash. I figured I could eat it on top of rice or in a burrito bowl or in a tofu scramble so I saved the failed fritters to use throughout the week. As I mentioned this batch has broccoli and corn in addition to zucchini and also has green onion and garlic. Super clean and healthy and definitely tasty.


Finally for a sweet treat I made some date bites!! These are a little extra special because they have macadamia nuts in them along with coconut and cacao nibs and they are delicious. If you are interested in the recipe let me know in the comments and I can do a recipe post for this in the future!

I hope you are all enjoying the day! I'm so excited about my three day weekend :) I'll be back tomorrow with some more eats :)

  1. That is some eats. Glad you are enjoying the cleanse (even though what you usually eat looks pretty darn clean).

    1. Haha thanks! Yeah it looks very similar to my clean eating but my processed eating is no bueno. It feels good to get back to my clean eats :)

  2. Umm... yes! Recipe post of the date bites! Although, if you used a food processor... I don't have one, therefore could not make them. Your call! ;)

    Fritters are fickle. I haven't had tons of success keeping them together. I figure there has to be more flour/cornstarch or something to make it work, but whatever recipes I've used have yielded veggie hash! Ha ha! These look great all the same!!

    1. Haha, I just posted them! You do need a food processor but do you know anyone that has one that you can borrow? Do you parents have one? You could make a batch there? Maybe bribe them with one, haha.

      Oy fritters are fickle indeed, especially vegan ones. I'm enjoying the veggie hash and I'm glad I salvaged it and kept it because it tastes great in any form ;)
