Flexitarian & Gluten Free Meal Plan 2

Happy February!

I got a lot of great feedback on the flexitarian gluten free meal plan & shopping list I posted a couple of weeks ago, so I’m here with another one to help you save time, eat healthy, and take one task off your to-do list for this week.

All of these recipes are gluten-free, or can be adapted to gluten-free {see notes & prep tips below}. They are also suitable for a flexitarian diet, as many of you have also expressed interest in how to move to a more plant-based or flexitarian diet.

We currently have a “mixed bag” of eaters in my family~ SiSi, my 16 year old daughter is following a vegetarian diet, Big Tex, my 14 year old son, and I follow a gluten free diet, and my hubby, Mr. Spicy, happily eats pretty much anything I cook for him ~ so, hopefully this adaptable gluten free meal plan will make things easy for you, especially if you have a variety of mouths to feed like I do ๐Ÿ™‚

How to use this flexitarian, gluten free meal plan…

  1. Use the meal plan and provided shopping list for 4 night’s worth of dinners, including simple side dishes.
  2. Plan on 1 night of leftovers ~ I call this “hodge podge night” at our house, because I put out all the leftovers from the week, and everyone gets to pick and choose what they want to eat.
  3. For the remaining 2 nights of the week, plan on eating out, ordering take out, or planning a super simple meal from staples in your pantry ~ {i.e. Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Trader Joe’s Organic Cream Tomato Soup, & Fruit}.
  4. I’ve also included prep/cook time for each recipe along with dietary substitutions {i.e. vegetarian, low FODMAP, paleo}, plus notes, tips, and my favorite product recommendations.
  5. Print the grocery shopping list if desired. Note: I’ve included ingredients for a family of four, with gluten free options for 4 + vegetarian options for 1. If you follow a low FODMAP or paleo diet, please note tips/ingredient swaps and adjust shopping list as needed.

Flexitarian, Gluten-Free Meal Plan | February 5-11 2018

Clean out your fridge to make these Easy Vegetarian Enchiladas for dinner on busy nights! The veggies and beans are full of fiber for a healthy, gluten free meal.

DAY 1

Main Dish: Quick & Easy Vegetarian Enchiladas {Gluten-Free, Vegetarian}

On the Side: Fresh Orange Slices Sprinkled with Cinnamon

Time: Prep 20 min, Cook 15 min, Total 35 min*

Notes & Prep Tips

  • These vegetarian enchiladas are a great way to get more prebiotics in your diet for a healthy gut microbiome. If you top ’em off with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, you get some belly friendly probiotics as well ~ yippee!
  • Have you tried Cara Cara oranges yet? They’re my favorites! For extra yumminess and a dose of antioxidants, sprinkle cinnamon on top of orange slices.
  • Pre-made enchilada sauce is a staple at our house. I have tried Fronterra Enchilada Red Sauce and Simply Organic Red Enchilada Simmer Sauce ~ both are tasty!

DAY 2

Main Dish: Harvest Chicken Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette Recipe at The Real Food RDs. {Gluten Free, Paleo, Vegetarian, Vegan, & Low FODMAP Options} made w/ Roast Chicken {or pre-baked/grilled chicken}

On the Side: Nothing ~ this is a complete meal!

Time: Prep ~ 15 min, Cook (w/ Chicken) 20 min, Total 35 min

Notes & Prep Tips

  • Vegetarian & Vegan options: Serve without chicken, or top with chickpeas or lentils. Add optional feta or goat cheese if desired for vegetarian version.
  • Low FODMAP option: 1. Limit sweet potato to 1/2 cup per serving. 2. Omit red onion 3. Omit apple/pear or swap with blueberries or strawberries 3. Omit garlic in dressing & add garlic oil, if desired.
  • Paleo option: Omit cheese.
  • If you like turkey, this Easy Roast Turkey Breast would be a delicious swap for the chicken.

DAY 3

Main Dish: Avocado & Hummus Quesadillas Recipe at Cookin Canuck {Gluten Free option, Vegetarian, low FODMAP option, Grain Free option}

On the Side: Carrot Sticks & Strawberries {or fruit of choice}

Time: Prep 10 min, Cook 8 min, Total 18 min

Notes & Prep Tips 

  • I doubled the recipe for my family, so the shopping list will reflect this.
  • Gluten-Free & Grain-Free Options: Swap whole wheat tortillas for corn tortillas, or Siete Foods Grain Free Tortillas {So good!}
  • Low -FODMAP Option: I save time by making these with pre-made hummus, but for a low FODMAP option, this low FODMAP hummus recipe from Kate Scarlata looks super easy to make! Also, use corn or gluten-free tortillas as noted above.

DAY 4

Main Dish: Sheet Pan Honey Mustard Salmon(Recipe at Bucket List Tummy) {Gluten Free, Vegetarian, and Low FODAMP options~see notes & prep tips below.}

On the Side: Grapes or fruit of choice.

Time: Prep 10 min, Cook 15 min, Total 25 min

Notes & Prep Tips

  • I doubled the recipe for my family, so the shopping list will reflect this.
  • Since we have 3 salmon eaters in my family, I’ll save the leftover piece for lunch the next day. This Easy Asian Seared Salmon Salad for One is a delicious way to use up leftover salmon.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Swap regular panko/bread crumbs w/ gluten-free ~ I like Schar Gluten Free Bread Crumbs.
  • Low FODMAP Option: Swap honey with maple syrup & limit broccoli to 1/2 cup serving.
  • Vegetarian Option: Serve vegetarian eaters the broccoli and potato with a veggie burger on the side.
