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:

  • Bulgur Porridge: No mango around? Use any fruit you like.
  • Spiced Carrot and Red Lentil Soup: Experiment with your favourite herbs and spices – who knows what awesome combination you might discover?
  • Pear Walnut Salad with Quinoa and Halloumi: It can be served with toasted wholemeal bread or baguette.
  • Raspberry Low Calorie Pancakes: Feel free to top these pancakes with any berries you prefer, whether they’re your favorite or in season. Frozen berries work just as well!
  • Baked Sweet Potatoes with a Five Star Feta Salad: Have more produce that needs to go? Don’t be afraid to chop some more into the salad!
  • Everything Omelette: Don’t be shy to throw in leftovers! It’s a great way to use food up and make sure nothing is wasted!
  • Pasta Arrabiata: Don’t skip the final cooking stage, it really brings out the flavours. The same goes for the little amount of sugar, unless absolutely necessary to skip.
  • If you include snacks in the meal plan, make sure you select 8 servings for Peanut Butter Protein Balls for less food waste.
