Rinse the lettuce thoroughly and use as a base for the toppings. Smear butter on the lettuce leaves and put the previously sliced cucumbers, avocado and tomatoes on the lettuce.
SNACK1
- 125 ml soy milk
- 125 ml / unsweet yogurt
- 15 g almond butter
- 30 g frozen cauliflower rice
- 60 ml pea unflavored protein powder

LUNCH
- 114 g ground beef
- 15 g olive oil
- A pinch of salt
- 5 g Tex-Mex seasoning
- 1 small zucchini
- 10 g olive oil
- 35 g shredded cheese
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Split a zucchini in half, lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes. While the zucchini is sitting, brown the ground meat in olive oil in a frying pan. Add salt and Tex-Mex seasoning (combine onion and garlic powder with oregano and black pepper). Let it cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Blot off the drops of liquid with paper towels. Place the halves in a greased baking dish. Mix a third of the cheese into the ground beef. Divide the ground beef and cheese mixture evenly among the zucchini boats. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese begins to brown. Take the zucchini out and let it cool for five minutes.
SNACK2

Line a standard loaf pan with parchment and set aside. Put sunflower seeds into a food processor or blender and blend until it’s a very fine-like flour.
Combine sugar, water, and oil in a medium saucepan over medium low heat and bring to a boil. Boil for about 40 seconds then remove from heat and add floured seeds and salt.
Stir ingredients together very well and scrape into prepared pan then flatten down with spatula. Lay a second piece of parchment over top and press down firmly for a minute or two until very tightly packed.
