May Club Fx-Approved Meal Plan
The following article was written by Heinen’s Chief Dietitian, Melanie Jatsek RD, LD.
You’ll notice that May’s Club Fx-Approved Meal Plan is 100% plant-based. Why? Because, well, plants are the most powerful food you could eat for your health. And I really care about your health! I’m not exaggerating when I say that all things in the body work better when fed a steady diet of veggies, fruits, leafy greens, nuts and seeds, and legumes (beans, peas, lentils).
Feel free to add a little animal protein if you’d like, but promise me you won’t push any plants off your plate.
Breakfast
Prep time: 2-3 minutes
Packed with whole grains from oats, omega-3s from flaxseeds, and antioxidants from berries, this sweet and satisfying breakfast is a must-add to your routine. I like to pour the Mush into a bowl, warm it up for about a minute, then mix in the rest—so good!
- 1 Mush Vanilla Overnight Oat Cup
- 1 tablespoon of Heinen’s Organic Ground Flaxseed
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries or blueberries
Lunch
Prep time: 20 minutes
Heinen’s canned chickpeas stand in for chicken in this plant-based version of a buffalo chicken salad sandwich. It can be prepped ahead and refrigerated for up to 5 days to enjoy throughout the week. Enjoy with a lightened-up version of coleslaw, prepared with Heinen’s extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar.
Dinner
Prep time: 5 minutes; Cook time: 15 minutes
Heinen’s fresh, recipe ready zucchini spirals are tossed in marinara sauce with pre-diced red onion, edamame, and kalamata olives for a quick, delicious, and Club Fx™ -approved weeknight dinner. It’s never been easier to eat well when you’re short on time and energy!
Snack
Sugar Kiss melons offer a rich, candy-like flavor that tastes like a natural, guilt-free dessert on a hot day. They really live up to their name!
- 1 cup Sugar Kiss melon cubes
