Hi, healthy veggies 🥦
Power plates are rushing to your table, fully packed with flavour to fuel your day. Ready? Let’s go.
Mmm, our Creamy Polenta with Mushrooms is a delicious dish that’s sure to wow! Inspired by Italy, it starts with a smooth polenta base topped with tasty sautéed mushrooms.
Quick Cottage Cheese Salad 🥗 is a must-try! It’s one of my all-time favourites, and for good reason (not just that I love cottage cheese :D). With just a handful of simple ingredients, you can whip up a very filling dish in minutes. Perfect for busy days, it’s healthy, and so satisfying – you’ll want to make it again and again!
Get ready to treat yourself to these simple, delicious meals that make healthy eating a breeze 😉😋

- if you include the big snack, then you’ll be at 104g protein at 2025kcal per day.

Day 7 is all up to you. It’s a great day for leftovers, or if you want to go out to eat. Buddha Bowls or Burrito Bowls are a great way to use up leftovers. We still recommend keeping the calories to about 1300kcal if weight loss is a priority.
Recipe Tips:
- Tomato Mozzarella Bread: Skip the bread if you like – the cheese and tomatoes are still fantastic on their own!
- Vegan Pho Recipe – Vietnamese Noodle Soup: you’re going to need a fork for this one eat the noodles like you would pasta and slurp the soup. If you find fresh bean sprouts, please store them in a container with water in the fridge. That way they last more than 7 days.
- Swiss Bircher Muesli: use any berries you like!
- Chia Pomegranate Yoghurt: I highly recommend frozen pomegranate seeds, they’re far easier than extracting them from the fruit.
- Cheesy Microwave Sweet Potato Mash can also be made using the oven, it just takes a bit longer.
- Mouthwatering Meatless Chili Sin Carne: serve with whole grain bread, tortillas, or brown rice. Yum!!
- If you include snacks in the meal plan, make sure you select 6 servings of Perfect Protein Cookies for less food waste.
Meal Prep (Quick Tutorial): These recipes can be made ahead.
Generally, we advise to keep them in airtight containers and/or in the fridge. Some of them need to be reheated.

- Swiss Bircher Muesli (it’ll be even more flavorful that way)
- Quick Cottage Cheese Salad
- Chia Pomegranate Yoghurt
- Mouthwatering Meatless Chili Sin Carne (it can be reheated)

Freezable:
