Bright & Strong ☀️ 💪

Hello healthy veggie!
It’s that time of the week… 🥁 your new meal plan is here! And while it’s designed for weight loss, we’re making sure it’s packed with fun and flavour, too!
First up, imagine waking up to a warm, fluffy cake that feels like a treat but fuels your day like a champ. That’s our take on TikTok’s Baked Oats!
A dreamy mix of Greek yogurt, juicy berries, and a zesty lemon twist, all topped with creamy frosting—plus a whopping 25g of protein per serving. Talk about a good morning!
Also, you can use any berries that are in season for it – choose your fave locally!
Now, let’s talk fennel. I used to have no idea what to do with it, but after trying our Roasted Fennel and Carrots with Chickpeas 🥕🌱, I’m officially obsessed.
Sweet roasted carrots meet fragrant fennel, all drizzled with a zippy lemon-thyme dressing and finished with tangy feta. Oh, and there’s a generous helping of spinach for that extra veggie boost! It’s the perfect fresh and flavorful dish to welcome spring.
So get ready to dig into these tasty, feel-good meals 🍝—they’ll keep you full, happy, and energized all week long!

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:
- Cornmeal Porridge: any berries you like can be eaten with this dish. I definitely recommend whatever your fave is, or whatever is in season near you!
- Vegan Poke Bowl with Sesame Tofu: make sure to store the cucumber, radish and carrots in an airtight container, so that they keep fresh until day 2.
- The Lentil Patties can be used as burgers to make things more exciting for kids!
- Scrambled Egg on Avocado Toast: if you only shop once a week, get an avocado that is ripe on days 3 and 4.
- Manchester Baked Potato: it is cooked in the microwave to save time, but you can absolutely use the oven as well.
- Healthy Protein Baked Oats: you can use any berries you like.
- The spinach for the Spinach Pasta in days 5/6 would need to be frozen.
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.
- Vegan Poke Bowl with Sesame Tofu
- Lentil Patties
- Manchester Baked Potato (the potato can be reheated, add the topping fresh)
- Healthy Protein Baked Oats
- Creamy Vegan Cauliflower Soup (soup cooked the day before will enhance the flavor even more)
- Chocolate Protein Pudding
Freezable:
- Lentil Patties
- Scrambled Egg on Avocado Toast (freeze the scrambled egg after cooking so you can make big batches)
- Manchester Baked Potato (the potato itself can be frozen, I’d keep the toppings fresh)
- Healthy Protein Baked Oats
- Creamy Vegan Cauliflower Soup
- Spinach Pasta (spinach only)
Vegan Alternatives (More Here)
- Breakfast: Tasty start of a day Smooching Mushrooms on Toast
- Lunch: Heavenly inspiration Easy Vegetable Frittata

And don’t forget – if you have lots of leftover ingredients in the fridge we highly recommend turning them into Buddha Bowls or Burrito Bowls! There’s so much choice, and you can throw together virtually everything you have leftover with a tasty sauce!
