Have you just finished quitting sugar with our I Quit Sugar: 8-Week Program… and wondering what next?
Even though your taste buds and appetite for sugar have completely changed, going sugar-free without a meal plan can still feel like you’re being thrown in the deep end!
If you’re feeling a bit wobbly or tempted by the sweet stuff, this two-day sugar-free meal plan will remind you how easy it really is to eat healthy, delicious REAL food.
Plus, if you haven’t quit sugar with us before, it’s a great way to play along at home… as well as a sneak peek of the kind of vibrant recipes coming up in our next Program.
Before you start…
We recommend prepping base ingredients and breakfast beforehand (known as the Sunday Cookup).
- Muffins: Perfect for freezing and reheating when you want a tasty breakfast or snack.
- Cooked quinoa: A staple of the program! This grain can take a while to wash and cook, so it’s best to batch and freeze.
- Roast veggies: Save yourself time pulling together salads and dinner bowls by having large trays of roast veg on hand.
And one more thing! Just like the Program, these recipes are meant to be customised. Don’t like pumpkin? Use sweet potato. Run out of zucchini for a smoothie? Try spinach instead. This plan is also vegetarian so most people can try it, but feel free to add meat as you wish.
Day One
Breakfast: Zucchini Bread Thickie.
Take that zucchini that’s been hiding in the back of your fridge and blitz it into this satisfying yet refreshing green smoothie.
We recommend toting it in a jar and sipping slowly to get the most out of this brekkie.
Lunch: Simple Pumpkin Salad.
Need a healthy, easy and microwaveable lunch for work? Whip out the roast veggies and quinoa you prepared earlier to make a warm pumpkin salad.
Serve with salad greens and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil… and remember to save plenty for later, too.
Dinner: Loaded Spring Vegetable Pie + salad.
With leek, asparagus and frozen peas, your body will just feel the goodness in this filling. If you prefer to make it without a crust, pour the filling into a deep tray and you’ve got a mean green frittata.
Serve with leftover pumpkin salad and keep a slice or two aside for lunch tomorrow.
Day Two
Breakfast: Cheesy Garlic Bread Muffins.
Savoury muffins are very popular on the Program, because they taste like a treat but have lots of hidden vegetables inside. You can add pretty much any pureed, grated or shredded veg you have lying around.
Take two of these garlic bread-inspired muffins out of the freezer, reheat and enjoy with the morning paper! You might want to stash one in your bag for a snack, too.
Lunch: Leftover Loaded Spring Vegetable Pie + salad.
No last-minute dashes to 7/11 for you. The Program makes the most of leftovers – and your colleagues will definitely be jealous of this desk lunch!
Dinner: Carrot Tahini Burgers with Radicchio + Tzatziki.
We love a healthy twist on “junk food” on the Program – and these gorgeous carrot burgers fit the bill. Not only will you feel satisfied, but the combo of carrot, quinoa, turmeric, radicchio and yoghurt is much more nourishing and tasty than anything from McDonald’s.
