Breakfast: Avocado Toast

Avocado toast may be a brunch staple, but it can work for any meal, and even as a snack for a healthy pick-me-up. It's loaded with healthy fat and will keep you full when you need it!

Lunch: Gluten-Free Chickpea Pasta with Tomatoes 

You can never go wrong with pasta, and these gluten-free chickpea-based noodles tossed with roasted tomatoes and fresh basil means that you don't have to feel guilty for enjoying it!

Snack: Trail Mix 

Pick and choose your favorites from each.

Dinner: Jerk Tofu with Rice and Peas 

The great thing about this Caribbean-inspired recipe is that it’s a perfect meal to add to your meal prep routine. Add a side of kale to your jerk tofu, rice and kidney beans (often called peas by islanders)  and this dish is the perfect, complete lunch, infused with a spicy tang.IMG_0569-e1578684973233

Dessert: Very Berry Bars 

These Verry Berry Oat Bars can be made with any berry, but we love blueberries or raspberries! The Blueberry Bars have a nice sweetness to them but the Raspberry Bars have a nice tartness, so it all depends on your preference.
