Hey ladies, I hope you’re feeling great today and that the Slim Challenge recipes have already given you that sense of balance and of learning to eat well! Remember, a diet that promises rapid weight loss in a short time isn’t good for you — you risk putting all the weight back on once it’s over. The goal here is to learn how to cook healthy recipes that, combined with regular physical activity, will help you achieve the figure you’ve always dreamed of in the long run.
Let’s dive into the Day 13 recipes! You’ll find an exclusive recipe from the Fit Food Guide, CelluBlue’s nutrition guide featuring over a hundred healthy and easy-to-make recipes, available in a preview version and a full version.

TODAY’S RECIPES
BREAKFAST
• 1 large glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice (orange or grapefruit)
• A few slices of pineapple, cut into chunks
• 1 soft-boiled egg or 2 slices of ham
Tip: you can save the rest of your pineapple for your afternoon snack. Or, if you have a blender, blitz the remaining pineapple with a little water, add 1 or 2 ice cubes and enjoy it nice and cold!
LUNCH
AUBERGINE CAVIAR
Ingredients – serves 4:
• 4 large aubergines
• 1 pot of 0% fat fromage blanc
• 1 lemon
• 1 pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 pinch of salt and pepper
Method:
You will need a blender for this recipe.
Preheat your oven to 210–240°C.
Cut the aubergines in half and place them in an oven dish.
Bake for 20–30 minutes, without any added fat.
The aubergine should be tender.
Remove from the oven, leave to cool, then scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
In a blender, blitz the aubergine flesh with the peeled garlic clove, fromage blanc, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.
Best served chilled. Enjoy your aubergine caviar with a few crackers and a salad (carrot salad, beetroot salad, or a mixed salad).
Tip: if you like, you can scatter a few walnuts on top of your aubergine caviar.
DINNER
SALMON, GINGER & LIME SKEWERS
Ingredients – serves 4:
• 4 salmon fillets
• 50 g fresh ginger
• 1 red bell pepper
• 50 cl carrot juice
• 1 lime
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1 pinch of salt and pepper
Method:
Preheat the oven to 90°C.
Remove the skin and bones from the salmon, then cut the fish into large cubes and thread them onto wooden skewer sticks.
Peel and grate the ginger.
Wash the lime, grate the zest, then squeeze the juice.
Cut the bell pepper into equal-sized small pieces and thread them onto the skewers between the salmon chunks.
Heat the carrot juice with half of the grated ginger.
Reduce over a medium heat, then strain.
Season, then drizzle with a little lime juice.
Assemble your salmon and pepper skewers, place them on baking paper, sprinkle with lime zest and the remaining ginger, then pour over the sauce.
Seal the parcel and bake for about 8 minutes! Serve your skewers with basmati rice or bulgur wheat.
OUR TIPS
Following your many messages, we’ve decided to share a few extra tips to help you structure your day.
Feel free to adapt this plan to suit your own lifestyle (whether you exercise or not, whether you’re a stay-at-home mum, a student, etc.).
Here are a few slimming tips to keep in mind:
- You can have a slice of bread alongside your lunch
- You can treat yourself to 1 square of dark chocolate (70%+) at any point during the day, whenever you fancy it
- If you feel peckish in the morning, reach for an apple — its filling power will easily keep you going until lunchtime
- For your afternoon snack, go for a handful of dried fruit or nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts… unsweetened and unsalted).
- If you prefer something savoury, opt for 2 slices of ham or a hard-boiled egg — ideal for active women as it’s a protein-rich snack!
- For dessert, you can have 1 yoghurt or a fruit of your choice — and try to skip dessert in the evening.
- In the evening, eat lighter than at lunchtime 🙂
- Stop eating after 10 pm
- Aim for at least 7 hours of sleep per night
TODAY’S TIP
Aubergine is very low in calories and helps limit the absorption of dietary fats, reducing the build-up of fatty deposits and the appearance of uneven skin texture (orange-peel skin). It also helps to detoxify the body and is particularly recommended for those who experience water retention or heavy legs. It is 92% water and its fibre content supports healthy digestion. You can enjoy it cooked, steamed, grilled, or as we suggest today — as a caviar.
