Where do you go out for date night that’s Whole30 approved? No drinking, no fried food, no pizza, no desserts and no pasta? The struggle is real!
While finding a place to eat out is already hard enough. Finding a place open late on a Saturday in a COVID world was another struggle. We found a local Mexican restaurant with made fresh daily items on the menu.
Breakfast: 4 scrambled eggs, strawberries, coffee and unsweetened almond milk
Lunch: carrots, guacamole, applesauce, Lara Bar
Snack: cashews, banana chips
Dinner: salad bowl with romaine lettuce, pico de gallo, salsa, and guacamole
Dessert: banana, unsweetened almond milk, almond butter, cinnamon
Takeaway: It was really hard not to say let’s splurge. It’s only one night. No one’s going to know. We haven’t had a date night in a while. It was hard not getting a drink or ordering an entire pizza to split. Also no fun dessert with extra sugar sure to send you into a diabetic stupor. Guess what it was just as nice not doing all those things and being on a date. We got some much needed time away from the kids and it was great not feeling stuffed and bloated from all that splurging.
