How to Make the Recipe
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your 1,300 Calorie Pescatarian Meal Plan:
- For the Smoothie: Place the oats and milk into your favorite blender and allow to soften for about 1 minute before adding the remaining ingredients.
- Securely fasten the lid and blend thoroughly for around 15 – 30 seconds while gradually adding water (if necessary) to create your desired consistency.
- Pour into a glass for a smoothie that will make you go a little nuts!
- For the Sandwich: Lightly toast your whole grain bread to your preferred toastiness (toasting the bread removes the chances of a soggy sandwich!).
- Slice your cucumber and avocado into sandwich-style slices.
- Place your lightly-toasted bread on a plate and layer all ingredients in the following order: lettuce, cottage cheese, avocado, cucumber, and then top it all off with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Serve up and smile all day as a result!
- For the Roasted Salmon and Veggies: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Then place some parchment paper onto a baking tray.
- Slice the bell pepper and sweet potato and then lay them onto the paper. Drizzle with half the olive oil, the paprika, and half the salt then toss to coat. Spread out into an even layer. Put the sheet pan inside the oven and let her roast for 10 minutes!
- On the second sheet pan, place the salmon and coat evenly with the remaining olive oil. Drizzle the salmon with a little lemon juice and then pat with a little salt and oregano!
- After the pepper and sweet potato are nicely cooked, remove the baking sheet, place the second baking sheet inside the oven, then set the timer for 10 minutes.
- Serve up! Or, if meal prepping, portion the sweet potatoes into your food containers then put even portions of salmon into each. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your meal plan is a hit:
- Feel free to swap out the salmon for another fish like tilapia or cod if you prefer.
- Experiment with different veggies for roasting; zucchini and asparagus work wonderfully!
- For a twist, add some herbs like dill or basil to your salmon for extra flavor.
- Make sure to use fresh ingredients for the best taste and nutrition.
How to Serve
This meal plan is versatile! You can enjoy the smoothie as a refreshing breakfast, the sandwich as a satisfying lunch, and the roasted salmon and veggies as a hearty dinner. Pair the salmon with a side salad for an extra crunch, or serve the sweet potatoes with a dollop of Greek yogurt for a creamy touch. The possibilities are endless!
Make Ahead and Storage
Meal prepping is a fantastic way to stay on track with your Calorie Meal Plan. You can prepare the smoothie and sandwich ingredients in advance and store them in the fridge. The roasted salmon and veggies can be made ahead and stored in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Just reheat and enjoy! This makes it perfect for busy weeknights when you need weeknight dinner ideas that are quick and easy.
So there you have it! A delightful Pescatarian Meal Plan that’s not only healthy but also incredibly satisfying. I hope you enjoy making and eating these delicious meals as much as I do.
