A Week of Meals Featuring Nuts and Seeds

by admin round-ups

Nuts and seeds are full of nutrients & a great addition to meals. Here are recipes for a week of meals featuring nuts and seeds for breakfast, lunch & dinner.

Hi Friends!

Time for another weekly meal plan. This week I chose one of my favorite groups of ingredients- nuts & seeds. I love pretty much any nut or seed you throw my way and I was able to find lots of creative ways to use things like almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds!

Hopefully you’ll see something that catches your eye!

Breakfast

  • Healthy Berry Breakfast Crisp via Neighborfood
    • Summer berries in this crisp + some yogurt = divine.
  • Chocolate Macademia Chickpea Quinoa Bars via Food Faith Fitness
    • Perfect for breakfast on the run.
  • Roasted Peach, Cherry & Walnut Yogurt Parfaits via The Roasted Root
    • Roasting fruit takes it to the next level.
  • Honey Almond Quinoa Granola via Kitchen Treaty
    • A fun twist on regular granola.
  • Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies via Leelalicious
    • Great for making ahead of time!

Lunch

  • Sesame Shrimp Peanut Noodle Bowls via Chocolate Moosey
    • Sub chicken or tofu if you don’t like shrimp.
  • Lemon Almond Roast Chicken Salad via How Sweet Eats
    • Eat it in a wrap, on some crackers or straight out of the bowl.
  • Caramelized Sweet Potato & Kale Fried Wild Rice via Iowa Girl Eats
    • I’d totally add some chicken to this!
  • Rainbow Quinoa Salad via Pinch of Yum
    • Pack it in your lunchbox.
  • Southwest Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing via Carlsbad Cravings
    • Just totally love the pumpkin seeds in this!

Dinner

  • Sriracha Almond Crusted Salmon via Peas and Crayons
    • A fun way to spice up salmon.
  • Spicy Cashew Chicken via The View From Great Island
    • Better than takeout!
  • Roasted Zucchini & Quinoa Bowls with Cilantro Pepita Pesto via Joanne Eats Well With Others
    • Another great way to use zucchini.
  • Peanut Noodles with Chicken via Foodie Crush
    • Make extra and eat the leftovers for lunch.
  • Caramelized Salmon Sesame Soba Noodle Bowls via Half Baked Harvest
    • Eat more fish!
