Week 3 – Restore

More plants and proteins to choose from this week to restore and rebuild our bods from the inside out!

This week we’re restoring, replenishing and rebuilding our intake of vitamins and nutrients with a wider variety of plants and proteins.

I worked beef (with grass-fed options) back in because I’m sorry, but I’m a carnivore at heart and need iron every now and then, but I balanced it out with plenty of veggies. There’s also a meatless, mushroom-based ramen with options to add your own proteins, and a nice balance of seafood, lean chicken and veggies overall.

Even though they’re not all included in this week’s plan, some other veggies to explore (which I will in future meal plans) are fun root veggies like parsnip (great substitute for fries), turnips and celery root. Cabbage is having a moment among chefs—I’ll test a yummy roast version with some sort of savory sauce. And I feel like I have to remind myself there are always more greens to get in—Swiss chard, rainbow chard, collards, dinosaur kale.
