Do you need an Egg-Free weekly menu planner for your limited diet?
After I released the GAPS/Paleo and Elimination Diet Menu Planner in February, I realized how necessary an Egg-Free version of this menu planner was because many people emailed me and asked me if and when I would have an egg-free version available.
So, today I am announcing that the GAPS Egg-Free weekly menu planner is available! This menu planner is very similar to the other GAPS menu planner. The only difference is I have either converted the recipes that contain eggs to be egg-free or I have replaced them with egg-free recipes. I also updated the shopping list for the menu planners.

If you are new to following a very limited diet like the GAPS diet, it can be overwhelming to know where to start first. It may seem like you can no longer use almost everything you used to cook with.
Or, if you’ve been following it for a while, you may be looking for some new and yummy dinners to prepare.
The good news is, there are some great alternatives to “normal ingredients” and some great recipes that are grain, starch and sugar free.
When you and your family start following this diet, it is vital that you plan ahead before you go shopping at the store. The GAPS Nourishing Foods Menu Planner does it for you!
All dishes are free of the following:
no grains or starchy seeds like quinoa or amaranth
no wheat
no gluten
no eggs – (For the GAPS weekly menu planner that contains eggs, click here)
no dairy (Full GAPS does contain dairy but I have made this menu planner dairy free except for butter. If you can’t eat butter, coconut or olive oil can be used.)
no soy
no refined sugar (only honey and fruit are used as sweeteners)
no starchy vegetables like potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes, and parsnips
no corn
no peanuts
no legumes (Full GAPS does contain some legumes but I have left them off this menu)
no shellfish (I didn’t include this because of the common allergen issue)
no pork
no preservatives, MSG or other artificial ingredients
There are options for the following:
Nut free – If you can’t eat nuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds are used as replacements.
What does the menu planner include?
The GAPS Menu planner includes 4 weeks of menus, spread out over 4 weeks. Each week includes the following:
- A menu for 5 delicious and creative dinners plus 5 complementary side dishes each week
- Two soup recipes each week made with nourishing broth
- One dessert recipe a week to compliment your meals
- Easy to follow recipes for each dish
- An organized shopping list for the entire week, which is coded to each meal so you don’t have to cook every dish
- Kid-friendly ideas for each recipe
- Ideas for substituting main ingredients for each recipe
- Nutritional information is included in all recipes.
- Recipes focus on using fresh produce and whole foods.
- Family-friendly recipes!
- Plus articles about health, allergies, and other food issues.
BONUS recipes and info: Starting a diet like this is daunting and many people don’t know where to start. Plus you will likely be very hungry in the first few weeks. Because of these reasons, I have added more recipes and a lot more instruction to these menu planners than my other menu planners for specific diets.
In addition to the dinner and dessert recipes, you will also receive the following:
- One Weekend Project Recipe
- Examples include chicken broth, beef bone broth, lacto-fermented sauerkraut, mayo, and ketchup
- One Baked Good – snack, bread, or cereal
- One Drink or Smoothie
- One Breakfast Recipe
