Flavour Fix

Hey there, healthy veggie!

Welcome to this week’s meal plan—packed with fresh, comforting, and seriously tasty dishes. Most of them are quick and easy grab-and-go options that also happen to be healthy (win-win!).

Let’s talk about Red Pesto Pasta—this one’s a game-changer. It’s bursting with flavor, super nutritious, and the best part? It comes together in no time. Perfect for those evenings when you want a homemade meal without spending ages in the kitchen!

Of course, we’ve also got some other goodies lined up! Vegan Banana Pancakes—fluffy, protein-packed, and ready in just 20 minutes. A total breakfast win for the whole family (and for busy, always-hungry people like me 😄).

And for lunch, there’s the Buckwheat Salad with Kale and Feta—light, nutrient-dense, and loaded with vitamins A, K, and C. Plus, it’s easy to pack up and take to work!

So, lots of deliciousness ahead—let’s get cooking!

Highlights

• Breakfast: Vegan Banana Pancakes – fluffy and quick
• Lunch: Scrambled eggs with cream cheese (or for breakfast), so fast!
• Dinner: Red Pesto Pasta – very cozy and comforting – but it’s a tough one as the Moussaka is just incredible, too!

Recipe Tips:

• For the Fruit Salad with Yogurt use whatever fruits you like! I definitely recommend whatever your fave is, or whatever is in season near you!
• For the Broccoli Cheese Casserole it is a great way to use up any leftover veggies from the week. Just throw them in the bake, too!
• If you include snacks in the meal plan, make sure you select 4 servings for Custard Pudding with Strawberries 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.

• Chickpea Salad with Quinoa (prep the night before)
• Red Pesto Pasta (prep the night before, it can be reheated)
• Fruit Salad with Yogurt (prep the night before)
• Vegetarian Fried Rice (prep the night before, it’ll be even more flavorful that way)
• Broccoli Cheese Casserole (prep the night before, it can be reheated)
• Authentic Vegan Banana Pancakes (either just the batter or the pancakes themselves)
• Buckwheat Salad with Kale and Feta
• Homemade Custard Pudding with Strawberries (can be made the night before)
