1 Welcome to the WSLF (Whole Starch Low Fat) Aug 1st Challenge Meal Plan! The following meal plan was created by Stefanie Cullingford RD at healthyourhands.com for the WSLF Group. If you need help with your plant based diet she is available for one-on-one consultations. The recipes are all out of the WSLF Life Changing Cookbook our Facebook group is based upon & supports. You can find the cookbook for immediate download on All of the recipes below were chosen by Stefanie from the WSLF Cookbook or supplemental Mr & Mrs Vegan materials to meet 100% of your dietary needs aside from B12. These are simple recipes that are quick to make & will store nicely in a backpack / briefcase & a cold pack to keep them fresh for lunch. You may alternatively meal prep 3 days at a time to ensure maximum freshness. The grocery list accounts for all of these recipes if you have the staples, but we encourage you to sub out for the meals you enjoy the most & adjust the grocery list accordingly. Fresh, frozen or canned, conventional or organic are all acceptable to meet your dietary requirements. We hope you share your meals with other & on social media along with the good health a well planned plant based diet brings you. Don t forget to tag #wslf
