Weekly Plant Based Meals/Snacks

October 3, 2021 /

I am making a plan weekly so I can stay on track with my plant-based diet.  I ran my first race this morning since I have started this diet 3 weeks ago and had a great race!!  I have so much more energy.

My snacks this week:

    1. Veggies and dips – (see video for dip)
    2. Rice Cakes and nut butter (can also do hummus and veggies or honey)
    3. Natural popcorn (can add Nutritional yeast for flavor)
    4. Unsweetened Apple sauce
    5. Rice paper veggie wraps (rice paper / sliced up veggies (cucumber/carrots/slaw/romaine lettuce/yellow & red peppers), wet rice paper and wrap around all the veggies.  Use a peanut sauce, sesame seed sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
    6. Nacho flavored chick peas (they are delicious!!) – see recipe: https://achievethedistance.com/nachochickpeas/

Now for my meals:

I don’t plan a lot for breakfast and lunch so this is my typical breakfast and lunch:

BREAKFAST:

  1. Whole wheat toast with Nut butter
  2. Whole wheat toast with plant based butter and mashed avocado
  3. Oatmeal with almond milk/walnuts or almonds/berries/honey
  4. Smoothies – will post some recipes but one of my favorites – https://achievethedistance.com/mangoberrysmoothie/
  5. Whole wheat toast with nut butter and thinly sliced green apples, drizzle with honey

LUNCH:

  1. Rice paper wraps mentioned above
  2. Grilled zucchini and hummus wraps. (Grill thinly sliced zucchini a few minutes on each side, add in some red peppers, put in a warmed whole wheat tortilla or corn tortilla smothered with your choice of hummus, add some spinach)
  3. Salad (I mainly use romaine or spinach), add cucumber, cherry tomatoes, walnuts, dried cranberries, pepitas, and any leftover protein. I also made my own dressing!

    1 medium apple (peeled and chopped)

    2 tsp white vinegar

    1 tsp maple syrup (or honey)

    2 tsp tahini

    1 tbsp. water

    2 tbsp. + 1 tsp  rice vinegar

    1 tsp Dijon mustard

    1/4 tsp ginger

    1 tsp garlic powder

    1/4 tsp salt

    Place in high speed blender until smooth.

  4. Smoothie bowl mentioned above or a smoothie (peanut butter, almond milk, yogurt, banana, spinach, honey, and can add protein powder)
  5. Leftovers

DINNER:

  1. Vegetable Pasta bake with Cashew cheese – a bit of prep but worth it!! https://achievethedistance.com/vegetable-pasta-bake-with-cashew-cheese/
  2. Cauliflower Mac & Cheese – https://achievethedistance.com/vegan-cauliflower-mac-and-cheese/
  3. Tomato & Leek Vegan Quiche – https://achievethedistance.com/tomato-and-leek-vegan-quiche/
  4. Beyond Beef burger/whole wheat buns (best plant based burger ever!!) Also make some sweet potato chips by simply slicing the sweet potatoes very thin, season with sea salt and olive oil and bake in 350 and just keep an eye on them until crisp.
  5. One night of leftovers or salad!

The weekend I decide once it gets here, as I may go out to eat or see what I have left from the week in the cupboard still to be be used.
