Think of meal planning as a way to take the guesswork out of your day. Have you ever found yourself staring blankly at the fridge without any ideas on what to cook?

For added inspiration, consider using a meal planning app that tailors recipes to your taste and pantry.

We’ve designed a flexible plan that includes:

• Breakfast: A speedy, protein-packed Huevos Rancheros that energizes your morning.
• Lunch: Quick Rice & Bean Burritos perfect for busy days – they even freeze well!
• Dinner Options:
  • Vegetarian Black Bean Soup – ideal when your fridge is low on fresh ingredients.
