Nuts and seeds are full of nutrients & a great addition to meals. Here are recipes for a week of meals featuring nuts and seeds for breakfast, lunch & dinner.
Hi Friends!
Time for another weekly meal plan. This week I chose one of my favorite groups of ingredients- nuts & seeds. I love pretty much any nut or seed you throw my way and I was able to find lots of creative ways to use things like almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds!
Hopefully you’ll see something that catches your eye!
Breakfast
- Healthy Berry Breakfast Crisp via Neighborfood
- Summer berries in this crisp + some yogurt = divine.
- Chocolate Macademia Chickpea Quinoa Bars via Food Faith Fitness
- Perfect for breakfast on the run.
- Roasted Peach, Cherry & Walnut Yogurt Parfaits via The Roasted Root
- Roasting fruit takes it to the next level.
- Honey Almond Quinoa Granola via Kitchen Treaty
- A fun twist on regular granola.
- Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies via Leelalicious
- Great for making ahead of time!
Lunch
