Having been dairy-free for years, Molly Clarke is aware of how difficult it can be to create meals that please her and free from dairy. Molly, a wellness guru and nutritionist, has created a weekly meal schedule ideal for everyone avoiding dairy but yet wanting to savor great and healthy food.
Breakfast
Your morning should begin with something vibrant and flavorful. Molly enjoys fresh fruit, chia seeds, overnight oats topped with almond milk. “It’s packed with fiber and good fats and is quite simple to make the night before,” she explains. A smoothie made with coconut milk, spinach, banana, and a scoop of dairy-free protein powder is also quite beloved.
Lunch
Molly advises a large, substantial salad for lunch. She usually goes for a quinoa and chickpea salad topped with avocado, cucumbers, and a lemon-tahini dressing. She says, “This meal is packed with plant-based protein and good fats which will keep you full until dinner.” Try a cozy and high-protein vegan lentil soup if you’re in the mood for something cosy.
Dinner
Dinner need not be difficult to be great. Making a dairy-free stir-fry with tofu, broccoli, bell peppers, and a soy-ginger sauce brings Molly much enjoyment. Try cooked sweet potatoes topped with black beans, avocado, and salsa if you want something somewhat heartier. Molly notes, “Sweet potatoes are so flexible and go great with so many different toppings.”
Snacks
Regarding snacks, Molly advises keeping things basic but yet fulfilling. One usually finds a fantastic choice in hummus topped with carrot sticks or a handful of mixed nuts. Try a dairy-free yogurt parfait including grains and berries for something a little sweeter.
Snacks could include mixed nuts or hummus accompanied by vegetable sticks. Molly’s dinner schedule shows that avoiding dairy does not mean compromising taste or variety. A little preparation can help you to savor a week of great food that will satisfy and feed you.
