On this Meatless Monday let’s focus on getting in those “fab five” vegan foods: vegetables, fruit, legumes, grains, and nuts and seeds.
Meatless Monday Meal Plan (8/4/13)
Breakfast: Savory Oatmeal Porridge
Lunch: Kale and Avocado Salad (Add lentils or black beans)
Dinner: Jackfruit and Sweet Potato Enchiladas
Notes:
- We are starting with three grains/starches (oatmeal, tortillas, sweet potatoes) so consider a snack with whole crackers and maybe add some quinoa to your salad.
- We’ve got lots of veggies here; a simple cabbage salad would go great with the enchiladas and you might consider a green smoothie or fresh juice for a veggie-packed snack.
- Adding quinoa, plus black beans or lentils, to your salad will provide two legume servings for the day. Soy milk in a smoothie and/or pinto beans with dinner will bring you to three or four servings.
- Enjoy a glass of fortified orange juice with breakfast, dice an apple for your salad and add fruit to your smoothie or juice and you’ll three to four servings of fruit.
- Breakfast and lunch is packed with nuts and seeds!
- Avocado in the salad and extra virgin olive oil in the enchiladas adds a bit of fat to round out your meal plan.
Have a great Meatless Monday!

Where do you get jackfruit? I can never find it!
@7c64f0d65c1cb377cd9c00b78a1f19bc:disqus, you can find it at Asian markets and some Whole Foods. I ordered some in bulk from Amazon a few months ago!
Hey JL! That looks great! Today, I’m on a cleanse with the b/f! Just liquids and raw salads! I’m making kale salad with avocado, thanks to you!
Cheers,
