Meal Magic

Hey hey, healthy veggie! 👋

Get excited, because this week’s feast is on its way! 🎉🍝

The moment I saw this vibrant Beetroot Pasta, I was totally hooked. I mean, purple pasta?! Come on, that’s just next-level cool. 💜

But here’s the kicker—it tastes even better than it looks! The combo of earthy beets, peppery arugula, and creamy feta? Absolute flavor perfection. 😍

Bonus: those gorgeous beets aren’t just eye candy—they’re full of goodness, too. So this pasta isn’t just fun to eat, it’s a little nutrient powerhouse. 🌿💪

Oh—and if you’re in the mood to start your day on a cozy note, you have to try our fluffy Gingerbread Pancakes. They’re warm, spicy, and basically like a hug on a plate. 🥞✨

For lunch? We’re keeping it bold and satisfying with classic Huevos Rancheros—eggs, beans, salsa… it’s a fiesta for your taste buds. 🌮🔥

And don’t worry, we’ve got your mornings and afternoons covered too—with lightning-fast breakfasts and satisfying lunches to keep you going strong all 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:

• Overnight Oats with Protein Powder: You don’t have to use protein powder, but it’s a really good way of getting an extra protein kick in there!
• Gingerbread Pancakes: Feel free to choose your own toppings. What we’ve supplied is a great starting point for high protein and low calories. Bonus points for using wholegrain flour!
• Wedge Salad with Creamy Cashew Dressing: Ideally get an entire lettuce head for this dish (that you can already start using before as a side). Packaged lettuce leaves usually don’t hold for 5/6 days.
• Broccoli Stir Fry with Brown Rice: Feel free to use frozen broccoli, works nicely as well.
• Speedy Chickpea Stew can be kept in a thermos flask (or similar) and easily transported and then eaten warm!
• If you include snacks in the meal plan, make sure you select 10 servings of Cottage Cheese Cheesecake 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.

• Overnight Oats with Protein Powder (they’re good for a couple of days in the fridge)
• Gingerbread Pancakes
• Wedge Salad with Creamy Cashew Dressing
• Speedy Chickpea Stew
• Cottage Cheese Cheesecake

Freezable:

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!
