1st August – Fun Feasts

Hi friends,

Today’s Thursday, and that means a new weekly meal plan is here!

And here is what we have in store for you.

Let’s start with the Oven Roasted Broccoli Halloumi Traybake🥦 – a great way to turn simple ingredients into a tasty meal, perfect for busy weeknights or when you’re craving something healthy. This traybake is really hard to beat for enjoying broccoli!

We also have picked speedy breakfasts (like Fruit Salad with Yogurt🍓) and super tasty lunches (my fave Quick and Creamy Avocado Pasta🍝🥑) designed to make your days delicious!

Enjoy every bite 🙂

On to this week’s stats:

• you’ll be getting 67g protein at about 1285kcals (three main meals);
• or 91g of protein at about 1505kcal per day with snacks;
• if you include the big snack, then you’ll be at 114g protein at 1990kcal per day.

If you’re not sure how many calories you should be eating please have a quick read through this page on calories.

Don’t hesitate to give me a shout if you have any questions!

Dave 🙂

PS. don’t forget – further down on this page is a list of which recipes can be made ahead, which can be frozen and some vegan alternatives if you fancy them.

We’re always looking to improve! If there’s something specific you’d like included in our plans or if you have any requests, we’re here to listen and make it happen.

Any questions or feedback?

Please share your opinion with us in the Facebook group (PW: protein power) or via email.

We hope you enjoy the recipes and as always we love seeing images of your creations in the Facebook group or @hurrythefoodup on Instagram so tag us there too if you like!

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:

• Fruit Salad with Yogurt: use whatever fruits you like! I definitely recommend whatever your fave is, or whatever is in season near you!
• Everything Omelette: don’t be shy to throw in leftovers! It’s a great way to use food up and make sure nothing is wasted!
• High-Protein Overnight Oats: almost any fruits works in the Overnight Oats, and the more tropical, the better!
• Speedy Chickpea Stew can be kept in a thermos flask (or similar) and easily transported then eaten warm!

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.

• Healthy Greens and Beans on Toast Breakfast (it’ll be even more flavorful that way)
• Rosti Potatoes with Asparagus and Cheese (just re-heat in a pan to maintain crispyness)
• Fruit Salad with Yogurt
• High-Protein Overnight Oats (it’ll be even more flavorful that way)
• Speedy Chickpea Stew
• Pineapple Fried Rice

Freezable:

• Healthy Greens and Beans on Toast Breakfast
• Rosti Potatoes with Asparagus and Cheese (prep the asparagus fresh)
• Speedy Chickpea Stew

Vegan Alternatives (More Here)

• Breakfast: Chocolate Banana Bonkers Overnight Oats
• Lunch: Smooching Mushrooms on Toast
• Dinner: Lentils with Vegetables in Tahini Sauce

You can use the ‘recipe vault’ to instantly find great replacement or additional meals, too!

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!
