When trying to lose weight or eat healthy, sometimes you want someone to tell you what to do. Look no further because we’ve got a delicious day of eating on a 1500-calorie diet planned out for you. And to make things even better, we will show you how to make a delicious and beautiful mason jar salad. Let’s get started!
The first thing we need to do is get our veggies cooking. We’re using some peeled, cubed butternut squash to cut down on prep time, and we’re going to roast it in the oven along with some broccoli florets. Once they’re done cooking, we will add some balsamic vinegar for flavor.
Next, we’re going to make an amazing vegan cashew sauce. You only need cashews, water, olive oil, lemon juice, tamari or soy sauce, and a little salt. Blend it all in a food processor, and you’ll have a fantastic sauce you’ll want to put on everything.
We will use soy lime roasted tofu for our protein source, but if that’s not your thing, feel free to use a different protein. Just make sure it’s a little lower in sodium.
Now it’s time to assemble our mason jar salads. We will start by layering our creamy vegan cashew dressing on the bottom. This will help prevent the lettuce and other veggies from getting wilted over time. Next, we will add our tofu, a cup of veggies, and some mixed greens. Finally, we will add some seeds for a little bit of crunch.
In addition to our delicious mason jar salad, we’ve also got an arugula and avocado omelet for breakfast, a tart apple with cinnamon sprinkles for a morning snack, hummus with cucumbers and veggie sticks for an afternoon snack, zucchini noodles in an avocado pesto with shrimp for dinner, and a simple side salad to tie it all together.
And if you’re not feeling full and satisfied after these meals, don’t be afraid to eat more. That’s your body telling you that you need more calories. Just make sure you’re choosing healthy options high in protein and fiber.
Overall, this delicious day of eating on a 1500-calorie diet shows how easy and enjoyable healthy eating can be. And with so many delicious recipe ideas on EatingWell.com, you can easily swap in different recipes and customize this meal plan to better fit your taste and dietary restrictions.
