Week 1 Recap:

Wow, one week into the 4 Week Gut Protocol and I'm loving the meals I've had, the energy, how my clothes are fitting, and the new foods I'm trying! So many times when we start a nutrition plan, we focus on the things we're giving up, but I'm not feeling that way at all about this plan. In fact, I feel like I have more options than ever.

Each day I'm hearing from our group about how great they feel, the foods they're loving, and not loving! Of course we're sharing meal prep ideas, you can find the last Monthly Meal Prep Class here with Gut Protocol friendly recipes.

April Meal Prep Class - Gut Protocol Edition

April 3rd 11am PST/2pm EST

Steel Cut Oatmeal with Coconut and Cashews:

This recipe is inspired by my favorite breakfast in Punta Cana, and if you’re a fan of cinnamon, add some in!  The toppings can be modified to the containers you have available.

Mexican Tofu Scramble:

Not sure if you’ll like tofu?! Me either, but let’s try something new! If you’re following the gut protocol, the beans will count as a Red B instead of a Yellow container.

Pesto Zucchini Noodles with Chicken:

For this recipe the chicken is cooked, so we won’t be cooking it during class. I highly recommend making your own pesto, it’s super easy and great on other dishes throughout the week. I’ve add a bonus recipe for a dairy free pesto.

Healthier Ranch Dressing: Please note, I think there is a typo in this recipe, instead of dried cloves, it should be dried chives! Yikes, that would be some weird tasting ranch with cloves.

Peanut Chicken with Soba Noodles: You can make this plant based by subbing vegetable broth and tofu or tempeh in.

Skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip:

Just in time for the Super Bowl! This will be great to share, or the perfect snack this week with lots of veggies. Wondering what Neufchâtel cheese is? It’s similar to cream cheese, but with a different fat content. You can find it next to the cream cheese at your grocery store.  Don’t forget to cook and shred your chicken before class.

Winter Superfoods Bowl:

This hearty bowl with a delicious lunch. You can sub in a different grain in pace of the bulgur, have 2 cups cooked prior to class. If you’d like to have less carbs in this dish, reduce the sweet potatoes, grains or chickpeas in each bowl.

Easy Turkey Chili:

This recipe is also great frozen, freeze in portioned containers, and you’ll be all set. If you’re not a sweet potato fan like me, add beans in place of the sweet potato, or ground turkey.

Crunchy Spicy Shredded Pork Tacos:

You could definitely sub chicken breasts instead of pork for this recipe, it will still be delicious. Make it into a bowl with veggies, skip the tortilla to make it a 2B dinner.
