Your 7-Day Gluten-Free Meal Plan

Whether you have celiac disease, a gluten intolerance or simply prefer to eat gluten-free because you feel better, it’s key to choose whole foods that are naturally free of gluten.

With a plethora of packaged foods on store shelves – think crackers, cakes and breads – now boasting their “gluten-free” status on the label, it’s easy to fall into a junk-food, gluten-free diet. In fact, many of these products contain sugars, gums and additives that make them poor choices for your overall health.

The solution? Focus on whole foods including plenty of produce, nuts, seeds and organic meats, wild fish and eggs. Choose packaged options to fill in the gaps in moderation and be vigilant about reading labels to select the best options.

This one-week plan includes a gorgeous grain bowl, a fragrant curry and a deep-dish quiche with a homemade crust made with almond and coconut flour. The recipes are easy to put together, delicious and most importantly will have you eating gluten-free in the healthiest way possible.
