Food alternatives
An allergen-free meal plan for one person can be enhanced with these substitutions:
- To increase variety in protein sources, pumpkin seeds can be used instead of hemp seeds in salads and snacks.
- For a nut-free and dairy-free milk alternative, rice milk can replace almond milk in smoothies and cereals.
- To add more nutrient-rich greens, arugula can be used in place of spinach in salads and wraps.
- For a more affordable protein source, canned sardines can replace shrimp skewers while still offering healthy fats.
- Instead of buckwheat pancakes, oat flour pancakes provide a gluten-free, high-fiber breakfast option.
How to budget on this meal plan
Focus on buying non-perishable items like quinoa, brown rice, and lentils in bulk. Almond milk and coconut water can be more economical when bought in larger sizes or on sale. Plan your meals around seasonal fruits and vegetables to get the best prices. Consider preparing and freezing portions of meals like stir-fries or curries to reduce waste and save time.

What should I drink on this meal plan?
For an individual with allergies, sticking to simple, natural beverages is best. Water is essential and the safest option. Herbal teas, especially those without added flavors, are great.
