Flexitarian Week 2

This week our challenge was to continue with a mix of vegetarian / non-vegetarian days but fit that around a day out with friends, when we knew we would wish to eat ham, cheese and bread. So Monday ended up a meat day but we started off with a fruit smoothie to give us a head start and a few of our 5-a-day. Thursday I persuaded Thomas to make the dinner, which meant a chicken option as he does the best schnitzel iI've ever had! So we ended up with 2 vegetarian days and 4 days with either meat, chicken or fish, but still plenty of fruit and veg too.
