Like my big watermelon? It weighted 34.4 pounds! By time I eat it all, I'll be sooo sick of watermelon, till Spring. So below is a simple free 5 day meal plan, if you like it, let me know I'll post more. :) If you'd prefer to make your own here are some tips :
* Food Blogs - check out all the healthy recipes on all your favorite food blogs and jot down your favorites. Don't forget to bookmark and print the recipes!
* Pintrest - Just search your prefered diet ( vegan, vegetarian, paleo, low carb ect. ) and what ever your in the mood for or use words like " healthy breakfast" or "vegan lunches" and such.
* Instagram- Just follow all the healthy accounts you can find, check daily for inspiration and most accounts give recipes with the photos. Make sure to jot down your favorite recipes.
* Tumblr- Like Instagram, just follow healthy accounts, and check for yummy recipes and print them out.
* Food Companies - It might be strange but if you recently went shopping, check the websites of all your healthy foods, yes even the produce and meat ( if your eating meat). They nearly always have recipes on the sites, and who better to get cooking tips from, than the people who made, or grew the product. Just print the recipes :)
Once you have a decent amount of recipes you love, begin mapping out your days with which recipe for what meal , each day. It's best to do this a few days before your plan will start so you have time to shop for things you might need. It can help you save money in the long run ( if your only buying for what is needed for a week and not just guessing, you avoid random unneeded items that wont be used until you discover it months later and use it.) . If your super busy you might want to look into meal prepping as well.
So here it goes, my simple Mostly Vegetarian Meal Plan
* Remember to use organic if possible. Also I will provide links to recipes as needed.
You may switch ingrediants as needed to fit your dietary needs.
