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.

A Week of Meals with Nuts and Seeds

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!

A Weekly Meal Plan with recipes that include nuts and seeds. Ideas for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Hopefully you’ll see something that catches your eye!

Breakfast

Breakfast ideas with nuts and seeds

  • 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

Lunch ideas with nuts and seeds

  • Sesame Shrimp Peanut Noodle Bowls via Chocolate Moosey
    • Sub chicken or tofu if you don’t like shrimp.
  • Lemon Almond Roast Chicken Salad via How Sweet Eats
    • Eat it in a wrap, on some crackers or straight out of the bowl.
  • Caramelized Sweet Potato & Kale Fried Wild Rice via Iowa Girl Eats
    • I’d totally add some chicken to this!
  • Rainbow Quinoa Salad via Pinch of Yum
    • Pack it in your lunchbox.
  • Southwest Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing via Carlsbad Cravings
    • Just totally love the pumpkin seeds in this!

Dinner

Dinner ideas with nuts and seeds

  • Sriracha Almond Crusted Salmon via Peas and Crayons
    • A fun way to spice up salmon.
  • Spicy Cashew Chicken via The View From Great Island
    • Better than takeout!
  • Roasted Zucchini & Quinoa Bowls with Cilantro Pepita Pesto via Joanne Eats Well With Others
    • Another great way to use zucchini.
  • Peanut Noodles with Chicken via Foodie Crush
    • Make extra and eat the leftovers for lunch.
  • Caramelized Salmon Sesame Soba Noodle Bowls via Half Baked Harvest
    • Eat more fish!
