## 🍽️ Breakfast — Oatmeal with Chia & Blueberries
✨ *Gentle start, fiber + antioxidants*
- ½ cup old‑fashioned oats (or instant packet)
- 1 cup water or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- ½ cup blueberries
- Optional: sprinkle of cinnamon
**My Notes:** Needed a splash of milk for creamier texture — turned out really good!

## 🍽️ Lunch — Chicken + Brown Rice + Greens Bowl
✨ *Simple, filling, no extra seasoning needed*
- 1 cup cooked brown rice (microwave pouch works)
- 1 cup mixed greens (spinach, spring mix, or romaine)
- ½–1 cup chicken strips or rotisserie chicken breast
- Optional: bell pepper, cucumber, Wholly Guacamole
**My Notes:** Forgot the bell pepper but still delicious. If you don’t like chicken, swap for salmon or another non‑red meat protein.

## 🍽️ Dinner — Lentil Soup + Carrots + Whole‑Grain Bread
✨ *Shortcut comfort with Progresso Reduced Sodium Lentil Soup*
- Steam‑bag baby carrots
- Slice of whole‑grain bread (Dave’s Killer Bread or Oroweat)
- Gentle toppings: Wholly Guacamole, olive oil drizzle, mashed avocado, or light hummus
**My Notes:** I’m not usually a soup person, but this lentil soup was savory and surprisingly good!

## 🥔 Bonus Bite (from last night)
- Baked potato topped with Wholly Guacamole — no margarine, no seasoning, and it was awesome.
