• Double Chocolate Donuts
  • The coconut sugar can be swapped for brown sugar. 
  • The milk can be swapped with milk of choice. 
  • Almond butter can be swapped with nut or seed butter of choice. 
  • The toppings are optional. 
• General Tsao's Cauliflower Bowls
  • If you'd like, the cauliflower can be swapped with diced chicken. 
• Roasted Mediterranean Veggies & Gnocchi 
  • To make this vegan, swap the cauliflower gnocchi with a vegan gnocchi or pasta alternative. 
  • You can use any combination of veggies that you'd like. 
  • Any chicken, beef, tofu, etc., can be added to this. 
• Grilled Halloumi & Watermelon Salad
  • To make this vegan, use vegan cheese that holds up to grilling or dice into cubes. 
  • Watermelon can be swapped for berries, melon, cherries, etc. 

 

How to alter the macros*:

• Double Chocolate Donuts
  • Serve with eggs, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, plus fruit to make this a full meal. Alternatively, you can have 2 donuts with a side of yogurt or cottage cheese. This will increase the protein and carbs while keeping the fat moderate. 
• General Tsao's Cauliflower Bowls
  • To increase the protein, swap the cauliflower for diced chicken. 
  • To increase the fat, finish off with additional sesame oil and sesame seeds. 
• Roasted Mediterranean Veggies & Gnocchi 
  • I'd suggest either having 2 servings to make a full meal or adding in chicken, tofu, etc., to increase the protein and calories. 
  • You can also increase the fat by using additional olive oil, adding a pesto sauce, or another sauce of choice. Of course, cheese would also taste great. 
  • To increase the carbs, swap the cauliflower gnocchi for regular gnocchi or pasta. 
• Grilled Halloumi & Watermelon Salad
  • To decrease the fat, leave off the avocado or olive oil.
