Hey healthy veggie 👋

Fast, fun, and seriously tasty, these dishes are designed to make mealtime feel effortless (but unforgettable).
Ever tried making a Frittata without turning your kitchen into a war zone? We’ve got you covered.
Whether you like it golden and firm or soft and gooey, this recipe nails that perfect balance — and yep, it’s totally beginner-proof.
Craving a bit of Mexican magic? Our Sweet Potato Tacos are the answer. They’re fresh, healthy, and ready in just 25 minutes.
It’s taco night with a feel-good twist — and trust us, you’ll want seconds (and maybe thirds 🌮).
Oh, and did we mention the Veggie Moussaka? Layers of rich, comforting goodness that just might steal the spotlight this week. 😍
On to this week’s stats:

Day 7 is all up to you. It’s a great day for leftovers, or if you want to go out to eat. Buddha Bowls or Burrito Bowls are a great way to use up leftovers. We still recommend keeping the calories to about 1300kcal if weight loss is a priority.
Recipe Tips:
- Feel free to choose your own fave toppings for the Protein Powder Pancakes! Also, different flavour powders can offer really unique twists.
- Vegetarian Mushroom Soup: leftover mushrooms can be sliced and fried in a pan with a little olive oil, salt and a dash of balsamic.
- Bulgur Porridge: no mango around? Use any fruit you like.
- Thai Quinoa Salad: choose your fruit. Papaya and mango both work equally well in this dish – we suggest choosing whichever you like more or can find easier/less costly. You can add more spicy sauce if that’s your thing or more peanuts if you like it nutty.
- If you include snacks in the meal plan, make sure you select 5 servings of Strawberry Popsicle for less food waste. Feel free to sub honey for agave or maple syrup.
Meal Prep (Quick Tutorial): These recipes can be made ahead.
Generally, we advise to keep them in airtight containers and/or in the fridge. Some of them need to be reheated.

- Bulgur Porridge
- Easy Vegetable Frittata

- Easy Vegetable Frittata

Vegan Alternatives (More Here)

You can use the ‘recipe vault’ to instantly find great replacement or additional meals, too!
And don’t forget – if you have lots of leftover ingredients in the fridge we highly recommend turning them into Buddha Bowls or Burrito Bowls! There’s so much choice, and you can throw together virtually everything you have leftover with a tasty sauce!
