Mix and match these vegan and gluten-free ideas to create your own unique, delicious menu for the week!

Breakfast: Granola Bowl

OMG these bowls! Here’s what’s in them:

• Granola: The Vegan 8’s “Butter-Licious Granola” recipe. Feel free to use your favorite granola!
• Chia Seed Pudding:
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk
  • equal parts flax milk
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • add a little maple syrup to sweeten as needed
  • combine thoroughly in a bowl and let set for 1 hour to thicken,
• berries and jam

Lunch: Buffalo Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

So excited to include this mac and cheese recipe in a meal prep! Coming from @cashewsandcauliflower – I used frozen cauliflower to cut down on prep time and chickpea pasta from Eat Banza for the noodles. I also double the carrot quantity in the cheese sauce. Mac and cheese is the perfect comfort food in times like these. .

Snack: Green Smoothies

These are made fresh each morning and the ingredients will vary depending on what I’m feelin’ but they’ll always have a healthy dose of greens in them!

Dinner ➳ Lentil and Veggie Curry

Super simple! Canned tomatoes, frozen veggies, lentil trio (from Costco), canned coconut milk + water, and high quality curry all thrown into an Instant Pot for THREE minutes. Serve over rice as desired.

Note: These meals lay the foundation for my week. I am never limited to just these meals and I always keep extra items on hand for additional snacks or meals.

I hope you enjoy these meal prep ideas. Only after healing myself of lifelong chronic constipation through healthful, plant-based eating did I arrive at my life’s work as a dietitian. Now, I find an immense amount of joy in helping others simply and sustainably eat foods that taste good and make them feel even better.
