Vegetarian Meal Plan
Want to eat more vegetables but not quite sure you want to go completely plant-based? I completely understand so here’s an amazing meal plan to give you some inspiration and insight to what going primarily plant-based could look and feel like!
Remember, with any meal plan, it’s important to customize the recipe for YOUR diet, preferences and goals. Some may need more food, some may need less – so when in doubt, do you!
And don’t discount the added impact of a supplement like a lean protein shake between meals or after a heavy workout to curb hunger as well. Enjoy!
