Do these meal plans work if I’m plant-based or avoiding gluten/dairy?

Yes—our meal plan templates are designed to be flexible for plant-based eating and for avoiding gluten or dairy. We can swap in proteins like beans, lentils, tofu, or tempeh, along with nuts and seeds, and rely on naturally gluten-free whole grains when needed.


If you’re fully plant-based, we’ll also want to be intentional about key nutrients that can be harder to get consistently, including vitamin B12, iodine, calcium, and iron. Pairing iron-rich plant foods with vitamin C can help absorption. If you’d like, reach out to our team and we can help you think through simple adjustments that fit your symptoms, preferences, and goals.
