Sample of My Weekly Vegan Menu Plan
After I read the book Eat To Live, Dr. Fuhrman talked about eating only 3 meals and getting pretty full during those 3 meals and the importance of letting our digestive systems rest in between meals. When doing this it causes your body to naturally detoxify. He encourages this for a 6 week program, but we have enjoyed this routine on a regular basis.
If my kids, husband or I get hungry we usually snack on veggies, fruit or make a quick juice. So, I have not included snacks in my menu for this purpose. Many of these recipes will be posted or are already posted on my website Go Plant Yourself!
