WEEK 2
Some weeks you just don’t have enough time, or motivation, to cook dinner. Some people enjoy cooking all the time, while others find it a hassle. Believe it or not, we get it and we experience the same kind of weeks. That’s why we planned a week of meals for you that each take less than a Friends episode to put together. We included dramatic looking dishes that are actually so easy to make with a variety of flavors, nutrients and protein sources.
Breakfast IDEA
Strawberry and Cream Overnight Oats (Gluten-Free & Vegan): A great make-ahead breakfast. This vegan-friendly and gluten-free overnight oats recipe packs a lot of fiber into your breakfast to leave you satisfied all morning long!
Lunch IDEA
Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps: With bold flavor and super fresh ingredients, these Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps are perfect for meal prep for lunch or for a flavorful dinner. Top with the creamiest peanut sauce to really make this special!
Dinner 1
Chipotle Mushroom Tacos
These easy meatless Chipotle Mushroom Tacos are a weeknight dinner win that are hearty and flavorful. Perfect for Meatless Monday! They’re vegan, but nobody will know otherwise because they have such a “meaty” flavor that will be a loved by everyone. Serve it up with your favorite taco fixin’s for dinner on the table in well under 30 minutes!
To reduce waste and save time:
- Save your leftover mushrooms for this week’s Non-Recipe Recipe.
