I've gotta say, one of the hardest parts about completing the cleanse is missing out on some staple foods. Like CHEESE! By week two I'm dairy free and while I feel amazing, I'm also drooling just looking at this awesome grilled cheese I've made time and time again... It might be the first item I make once I'm home from Disney and done with this cleanse! This healthier Smoked Gouda Grilled Cheese sandwich has bold roasted red peppers, creamy Dijon mustard, fresh arugula, and smoked gouda cheese.
Ingredients:
2 slices sprouted whole-grain bread
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 oz roasted red bell pepper strips
1 slice medium tomato
¼ cup fresh arugula
¼ cup shredded smoked gouda cheese (1 oz)
½ tsp. olive oil
Instructions:
Spread mustard on one slice of bread.
Top with pepper strips, tomato, arugula, cheese, and second slice of bread. Set aside.
Heat oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
Add sandwich; cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip, then cook for 3 to 4 more minutes or until cheese has melted.
Portion Fix Containers: ½ Green, 2 Yellow, 1 Blue, ½ tsp.
2B Mindset Plate: Serve open-faced with a side of veggies and protein for lunch.
