Here are some breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner ideas to help you create a personal meal plan. The aim with this particular plan is to be as dairy, refined sugar, processed free, and gluten limited as possible with plant-based emphasis for a 10 day(ish) period. Use this as a tool to aid your family in detoxing from unhealthy habits and focusing on building healthy new ones! Check out my post on tips for meal planning here.
