Day 12 Recipes For Your 21 Day Plant-Based Challenge
These Recipes are designed to fill you up and energize you all through the day. We have compiled a breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks -- and for your pick of desserts check out the recipe carousel at the bottom of the 21 Day Plant-Based Challenge homepage.
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.
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. Feel free to try a different kind of fruit with this recipe and let us know how it turns out in the comments below!
