This week's meal plan is for you if you want practical recipes that introduce you to raw food slowly. This plan is perfect for you if you are quite busy, but interested in learning some new recipes and not wanting to get bored with your meals.

FAQs:

  • only make one batch chocolate cream pie to be eaten over 3 days
  • only make one batch crumble to be eaten over 3 days
  • only make ranch dressing once, but will use for many salads (and veggie plates) and also for the mock-bacon sandwich
  • only make mixed nuts once, but eat over 2 days
  • only make chili once, but eat over 2 days
  • only make taco salad once, but eat over 2 days

The above amounts are already reflected in the shopping list (below), but I have included these details to help you know what to do.

If you work full-time, I recommend doing your grocery shopping on a Saturday and starting the first day of your week-long meal plan on a Sunday.
