I am so excited to be sharing with you my recipes for the My New Roots 21 Day Challenge – Week 1!! I have been carefully thinking of recipes to make with you and share with you, and have carefully picked 10 recipes to start this week with that can be made for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and a delightful dessert as well! I am also throwing in one more ‘bonus’ recipe that was picked by foodie_lover_ on Instagram to start off the week with. I’m so pumped to get started on this.
Here are the recipes I have picked, if they are highlighted, you can click to get a direct link to the blog. If it’s from the My New Roots Cookbook, I have put the page beside it (here is a link to go get the book if you haven’t already!). Not to worry if it isn’t in your hometown yet, I have made sure to include lots of recipes from the blog as well.
Furthermore, I have hand crafted a meal plan with the recipes, to work for those new to the challenge called “Testing the Waters” which includes 4 My New Roots recipes. The “Seasoned Pro” meal plan includes all 10 recipes (and the bonus if you prefer to make too!) I am hoping some of you will make one, two or all of the recipes with me! I can incorporating your reviews into my reviews, and give you a shout out! If you want to make sure I see your posts, use the hashtag #MNR21Challenge on Instagram, or post a message on my blog comments.
You will also see I have created a grocery list, with all the recipes included (numbers as to which one the ingredient corresponds to if you just want to try out a few recipes). I also have taken the time to find the nutritional content of each recipe. I feel like all of the My New Roots Recipes are very healthy, but it’s good to know if you are looking to get more or less of a particular nutrient.
So without further ado, here are the recipes I will be trying this week!
