Hi Fortify Friend, Welcome to your 3-day plant-based meal plan! On the next pages, you will find the spring themed plan I have created for our newsletter subscribers, along with an itemized grocery list and delicious recipes. Here are some tips and information that will help you follow your meal plan: I have included a full grocery list that outlines the ingredients you will need to follow this meal plan. Before you head out to do your shopping, take some time to go through the list and check off any items you already have. This will save you time and money. The grocery list is organized into categories based on how a typical grocery store is laid out. This will allow you to do your grocery shopping in an organized fashion starting with fruits, then vegetables, etc. Doing your shopping this way will save you time. Every recipe states the total number of servings and the total prep time so that you know how many servings the recipe creates, and how long it will take you to make it. Before you start cooking, assemble all ingredients and prep them according to the ingredients list. Unless otherwise indicated, you will be eating one serving of each meal. So if a recipe serves four, prepare it, divide it into four even portions and enjoy one portion. You'll notice that some meals on the plan calendar are shaded out. This means that the meal has been marked as a leftover. You've already prepared it, so you do not need to make it again. Cook once, eat multiple times. Leftovers are a great way to save you money and time in the kitchen.
