Welcome to your day in the life of a bikini body meal plan Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Now, not everybody reading this is planning on donning a bikini and I totally understand that! This meal plan is a staple in my home to keep me ready for trips and pictures. It is designed to keep the belly flat, skin tight and complexion glowing. Throw away the old calorie counter and just focus on the nutrients! You’ll be glad you did Image may be NSFW.

There are a couple of high-tech kitchen gadgets I do LOVE: a Vitamix and a juicer. If you do not own either, I’ll give you options. Pretty much EVERYBODY has a blender, so make use of it!
Upon waking (for me that’s about 4:30 a.m.): 1 mug hot water with the juice of 1 lemon
First Breakfast (we’re speaking hobbit now): Get GLOwing Juice
Turn your juicer on and start dropping them in! If you use a blender, simply blend and strain. If you don’t have either, have 3 celery stalks, 1 small apple or pear
Ingredients:
- about 1 cup spinach
- 3 celery stalks, washed and chopped
- 4-5 carrots, washed and chopped
- 1 small tart green apple, cored and chopped
- 1 lemon, peeled
- Fresh ginger, peeled. I use about 2 inches which is strong
- 1 kiwi, washed and chopped, skin on
- 1 cucumber, washed and chopped
- Optional: wheat grass
Run it through and pour over ice if desired.
Second Breakfast (this is usually about 7:30)
Avocado Toast:
Toast 1 piece Ezekiel bread OR whole grain bread of choice. I use Vegannaise (instead of mayo since it’s whole foods based). Spread that on top and top with 1/2 sliced avocado. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to taste.
Don’t say no to healthy fats! You need these for tight, clear skin. Steer clear of mayo and if you want you can omit the spread altogether or use low-fat Greek yogurt.
Lunch. My favorite protein packed humus and salmon salad
- 1-2 cups arugula (or greens of choice. I like the spice in these)
- 1 tablespoon humus
- juice of 1 lemon
- 5 ounces salmon (I do use canned salmon a lot for this one)
- veggies of choice: cucumber, tomato, cabbage, squash, etc. Make it colorful!
Place ALL ingredients in large bowl and toss. Honestly, the sheer size of this salad is enough for 2 people, but I polish it off by myself Image may be NSFW.

Snack Time Smoothie. Mango, Kale Miracle Shake
- Flesh of 1 ripe mango, peeled
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 handful spinach
- 3-4 kale, leaves removed from ribs
- 1/2 banana
- 6-8 ounces water OR coconut milk for creamier texture
Blend all ingredients together and add ice/water to suit your texture. If you’re seeking extra protein and calories (for a heavy training day perhaps) add some yogurt.
DINNER. Stir Fry Quinoa and Veggies
I do prepare my quinoa in advance in the rice cooker, but you can cook it on the stove top in about 20 minutes.
In a large frying pan:
- 2-3 tablespoons coconut oil, unrefined
- 1/2 to 1 whole onion, chopped
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- veggies of choice. I use frozen veggies that contain peppers, yellow and orange carrots, green beans, etc.
Once coconut oil melts, add onion and let simmer until almost clear. Then add quinoa and veggies and cook through. If you need more protein, add chickpeas to the oil/onion mix and brown. Delicious!
That’s my day of good eats. The foods have all the nutrients needed to keep the abs flat and the skin tight and clear. Not to mention the fact that the healthy fats help improve brain function.
Keep it clean, keep it lean and have a healthy day!
