How to budget on this meal plan

Bulk-buying oatmeal and chia seeds can lead to significant savings. Almond milk, often used in this plan, can be more affordable when purchased in larger quantities or on sale. Frozen berries are a cost-effective alternative to fresh ones and can be used in various breakfast dishes. Consider making large batches of dairy-free yogurt and granola at home for a week's worth of breakfasts.

Extra tips

Start your day with these dairy-free breakfast snacks:

  • Overnight oats with almond milk and fruit
  • Avocado toast on whole grain bread
  • Smoothie bowl with berries and granola
  • Chia pudding with coconut milk
  • Whole grain cereal with soy milk
  • Banana pancakes made with oat flour
  • Fruit and nut butter wrap in a whole grain tortilla

For a dairy-free breakfast, drinks that energize and nourish are ideal. A smoothie with fruits, vegetables, and a dairy-free base starts the day with nutrients, black coffee provides caffeine, green tea offers a gentler boost, freshly squeezed orange juice supplies vitamin C, and almond milk can be a creamy addition to cereals or oats.

Breakfast without dairy can be delicious and nutritious. Opt for chia seed puddings or smoothies made with hemp milk, both rich in omega-3s and protein. A tofu scramble can provide a hearty, protein-rich start to the day, with vegetables added for fiber and nutrients. Gluten-free oats with a sprinkle of nuts and fresh berries make for a filling, nutrient-packed meal.
