Day 6

When possible, I have included recipes, pictures of the meal or no-sodium products used. To save time, I often prepared a large portion to have leftovers available for lunch or other meals.

Breakfast

-Regular old fashioned oatmeal (zero sodium content) with brown sugar and 2 teaspoons of unsalted/dairy free Fleischmann's margarine
-Fresh orange slices
-Low sugar apple juice

Lunch

-Matzos (zero sodium) crackers with natural peanut butter (see Day 1 entry for peanut butter product used)
-Apple
-Fresh green grapes
-Diet Coke

Snack

-Cinnamon Toast organic rice cakes (see photo below)
-Edy's frozen real fruit bar- strawberry flavor (see photo in Day 4) No sodium; no red dye.

Dinner

-Fresh Corn and Black Bean Salad with Basil-Lime Vinaigrette (Have made this recipe many times- just delicious! Click for Giada's recipe.  For LID, used no-salt canned black beans and chick peas- purchased from Whole Foods. If you don't have access to inexpensive mangoes, no worries- will still be terrific. Also, I sometimes use the fresh basil but, often sub. fresh cilantro instead.)

-Encore (i.e. leftover) seared chicken

-Unsalted tortilla chips (see earlier product entry)

-Encore (i.e. leftover) homemade guacamole  

-Dessert:  Frances' Brownies from the Thyroid Cancer Survivors free LID cookbook- see page 115.  Click for link.  These are very tasty- a chocolate fix!
