Ben Mastracco is a Plant-Based Food Coach based out of San Diego California. He specializes in helping overwhelmed dieters transition to a (mostly) plant-based diet, become meal planning pro's, and find confidence, ease, and enjoyment in healthy eating. 

Planning meals is a time-saver AND when you plan you are more likely to eat better (and you need to take care of YOU during this process).

Meal planning can be SIMPLE and FUN!

Ten Tips:

1.    Approach meal planning and cooking from the lens of “How can I have more fun?” Ask yourself: What do I want to eat? What would be FUN to eat?

2.    Do not over-complicate things (buy healthy pre-made items, like pizza crust and sauce versus making those from scratch)

3.    Find 3-4 recipes (that’s it!) You can find recipes on Ben’s website (below), google or use the app Epicurious

4.    When searching recipes, add the keyword phrases “20 minutes” or “fast” or “simple”

5.    Get the whole family involved (from finding recipes, to shopping, to prepping, cooking and clean-up!)

6.    Make a grocery list based on the recipes

7.    Make extra so you have left-overs

8.    Prep one day/week

9.    Try the Buddha Bowl (ebook below)

10. Stick with it (like all new habits you need to be consistent)
