One of our favorite parts of autumn (other than the beautiful show Mother Nature puts on) is the opportunity to enjoy the harvest we've awaited all summer. Squash, root veggies, even the occasional pumpkin spice latte!
Comforting fall flavors lend themselves well to baked goods, but so many delicious savory meals are easy to make fresh in the fall. We've compiled this one-week meal plan, complete with recipes, to help you enjoy the flavors of fall and meet your health goals!
All meals are dairy-free, gluten-free, and designed to help you hit your protein goals while embracing seasonal flavors like pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and warm spices. Each day provides a balance of protein, healthy fats, and fiber to keep your energy balanced and your inflammation in check.
