How many people is this meal plan designed for?The meal plan is designed for 2 adults eating lunch and dinner. You should, of course, tailor the amount of food and the ingredients to fit your exercise regimen, lifestyle, allergies, etc.

What about desserts/snacks? We’ve included the green smoothie plan so you can enjoy one as a healthy snack every day. (You can have the green smoothie for breakfast instead, but we find people get better results if they don’t have quite so much fruits in the mornings and instead add in more healthy protein and fat for breakfast.)

Where’s the Pantry and Shopping List? You’ll find the Pantry and Shopping List at the end of this document. We’ve designed the layout of the meal plans to make it easy to print out all the recipes and the shopping list. You’ll also find links on the pantry ingredients to purchase those items on Amazon.com.

Where are the breakfast recipes?Many people add too much sugary fruits and carbs into their plant-based breakfast. To get you the best results, we suggest drinking a simple plant-based protein shake for breakfast instead. This will give you essential amino acids and a ton of studies have shown protein in the morning helps to keep you fuller. We recommend our own Awaken Plant-Based Protein - it’s made with 100% organic ingredients and tastes delicious.

Do your recipes come with nutritional data?Yes, we include nutrition data (calories, fat, total carbs, fiber, sugar, protein) for all our recipes. The numbers are per serving. Please use this as a guideline.

Are all the recipes vegan?The only non-vegan ingredient is eggs because they add essential nutrients to help you stay healthy. In addition, all our recipes are gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, legume-free, soy-free (except for tamari sauce), and free of processed seed oils.

Can I add meat to the meal plan?

You can add any protein that you like into our recipes. If you’re cooking for someone else who isn’t joining you on the challenge, then an easy trick is to cook some meat/fish and add it to each meal. If possible, choose high-quality proteins that are organic, pasture-raised, and/or grass-fed. Food quality is very important when you are following a healthy lifestyle.

If you want to add more plant-based protein to the recipes, opt for ones that are not made from soy. Chia seeds, hemp seeds, lentils, nuts/nut butters, well-soaked and well-cooked beans, and chickpea-based proteins are options to look into. Your morning protein shake is the ideal meal to boost your protein intake. That’s why we suggest making protein shake for breakfast with our Awaken Plant-Based Protein for a filling and nutritious way to start your day. It’s also super fast to make and tastes delicious!
