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 about 2 weeks. Use this as a tool to aid your family in detoxing from unhealthy habits and focusing on building healthy new ones by making different choices! Check out my post on tips for meal planning here.
