This week, my Plant-Based Meal Plan will focus on Instant Pot recipes and quick and easy meals. I’m a bit under the weather and have a big event at work. Both will take a lot out of me so I’ll make sure the food is easy.
If you don’t have an Instant Pot don’t worry, most of my Instant Pot recipes have stove top or slow cooker versions too. If you find one of my Instant Pot recipes you’d like to make but don’t have an Instant Pot, just send me a message and I’ll let you know if I have another version available.
I’m also thinking of making my favorite Mango Lime Ice Pops because they are so soothing to my sore throat. I can’t do artificially flavored ice pops, they trigger headaches. There are a few brands we love but I love my Mango Lime version more! I also have a delicious Triple Berry Yogurt Pop that we love!
Plant-Based Meal Plan
We usually have oatmeal for breakfast but I like smoothies when I’m going to be on the go. Sometimes the kids will pick cereal or toast. Lunches are usually leftovers but sometimes I’ll make an easy soup or salad or both! Dinner is usually the main, cooked meal. I always plan for us to eat it more than once. If I’m lucky, I’ll be able to skip cooking a meal later in the week if leftovers stretch far enough. Monday night’s dinner is one of those that we will eat at least two more times!
