This week’s meal + workout plan | October 16th

It’s been 3 months since I published a weekly meal + workout plan.  I assure you, I have been eating meals… and mostly doing workouts, too.  We’ve been back in a semi-normal (read: non-summer) routine for just over a month now, so I figured I’d get back in the habit of sharing my weekly meals + workouts.  Rejoice and be glad.  Or whatever.

WEEKLY MEAL + WORKOUT PLAN | OCTOBER 16th

MEALS

• Lentil soup with toast – A staple this time of year (JK I eat it year-round, but that sounded good… right?).  Here are a few favorite lentil soup recipes (all are fairly similar and easily adapted): Red lentil + lemon soup//On Tap for Today, Everyday Lentil Soup//Sprouted Kitchen, Red Lentil Soup//The Kitchn, Turkish Red Lentil Soup//Whole Foods Market
• Spinach and black bean quesadillas with roasted sweet potatoes
• Vegetarian chili for lazy people (one of my favorite barely-a-recipe recipes)
• Chickpea Veggie Couscous (recipe from The Dinner Daily)
• A repeat of that glorious salad pictured above – I used half a package of Whole Foods Market’s 7 Grain + Lentil blend along with spinach, baby lettuce, Gala apple, pear, blue cheese and cranberries.  So good.
• Green Kale Quinoa Bowl (The Dinner Daily)
• Spaghetti Squash Burrito Bowl (The Dinner Daily)
• Flatbread pizza + salad

Meal prep: Several jars of vegetable broth and miso soup (this week’s body experiment involves fermented foods + broth, so…), chop vegetables for snacks + salads, cook quinoa, make-ahead smoothie packs
