If your meal plan does not come through within these time frames, please email us before the end of the day to have it re-sent to you.

If you feel hungry, add more vegetables which are listed on your plan. If you are too full at mealtime, reduce your portion size but do not change the content!
Green vegetables found on your plan may be incorporated into other recipes on the meal plan to minimize waste and leftovers.
