If it’s Meatless Monday, I have a meal plan for you!
Breakfast: Get your grains this morning! It’s easy – just grab your favorite whole grain cereal, add some fresh fruit, add some ground flaxseed and use your favorite plant-based milk (I’ve been loving cashew milk and hemp seed milk these days!) or have a bowl of oatmeal.
Want ideas on how to add more grains to your diet?
Join me TODAY, at 12pm EST, on a Google+ Hangout!
Lunch: Make an animal-friendly BLT! This Sweet Tempeh Bacon Sandwich begins with tempeh “bacon” and you can pile on your favorite veggies from there!
Dinner: Try this very simple Grilled Seitan and Mushrooms and serve it with this Shaved Asparagus Salad.
Notes:
- You got your grains during breakfast, lunch and dinner! Good job!
- Adding fruit to your cereal and oatmeal is a good start – consider grabbing fresh fruit for a snack and enjoy vegan ice cream with figs or dates and a sprinkle of nuts for dessert.
- Have a salad with lunch and dinner and you’re good to go on veggies!
- Ground flaxseed on your cereal or oatmeal + nuts on a snack or dessert = 1 -2 nut/seed servings.
- You’ve had tempeh (soy) so we want you to get a couple more servings of legumes and beans – have hummus and veggies + peanut butter on an apple for snacks and you’re all set!
