A Week of Meals Featuring Nuts and Seeds

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

• 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

• 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!
