Your GF Game is Strong: A 1-Week Gluten-Free Meal Plan

Let’s be honest: Giving up gluten and adopting a gluten-free lifestyle can come with a whole lot of challenges. But we’ve got your guide, and it’s this easy-to-follow, totally delicious 1-week gluten-free meal plan that you’ll want to turn to again and again.

You don’t have to have celiac disease to give up gluten. Many people choose to go gluten-free because they have a gluten intolerance (which includes both celiac and non-celiac sensitivities), are sensitive to gluten or have a general wheat allergy. No matter the reasons you’ve giving up on gluten, you don’t have to severely restrict your diet. And going gluten-free doesn’t mean you have to give up on flavorful meals and a colorful array of ingredients.

There are so many different foods you can enjoy – and that’s exactly what we’re highlighting in this simple yet totally delicious meal plan. A good gluten-free approach is one that highlights whole foods and limits packaged products, enjoying them in moderation. So, we’ve created gluten-free recipes that are sure to impress, with a combination of plant-based, protein- and fiber-rich foods that don’t include any gluten at all. In fact, you’ll barely even notice that you’ve gotten rid of gluten when you try this week of impressive meals.

Oh, and did we mention that these meals are super easy to prepare? Every one of the recipes in this meal plan is ready to serve in an hour or less. And if you do a bit of chopping, baking and general prep over the weekend, you’ll save even more time as you prepare them throughout the week.
