Nightshade-free Menu Planner

Do you follow a nightshade-free diet?  Are you looking for a healthy and whole foods weekly meal plan?

For many people, following a nightshade free diet can help alleviate different health problems.  Some of these health issues include the following:

* acid reflux (GERD)
* tomato allergy
* chemotherapy
* arthritis
* kidney dialysis

If you’re nightshade-free, this menu planner is for you!  All of the recipes are free of tomatoes, potatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers and eggplant.

This menu planner is also free of soy, dairy, wheat and gluten.  I have found that people who are nightshade-free usually avoid all or most of these other foods as well.

This menu planner is free of the following:

  • Nightshade vegetables: tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, hot peppers and eggplant.
  • All foods containing gluten: wheat, barley, spelt, kamut, rye, and oats.
  • All dairy products: milk, cream yogurt, cheese, butter and other products made from cow’s and goat’s milk.
  • All soy products and foods containing soy: soy sauce, tofu, miso, tempeh, soy milk, soy oil, soy lecithin and other soy byproducts
  • Refined sugar, pork, alcohol, preservatives, MSG and other artificial ingredients.

Each week of the Nightshade-free Menu Planner includes:

  • Recipes for 5 delicious dairy-free dinners
  • Recipes for 5 complementary side dishes
  • An organized shopping list for the entire week
  • Newer menu planners contain one breakfast meal a week.
  • Alternative cheese recipes
  • One dessert recipe a week to compliment your meals

More details:

  • Customize any menu planner to your needs.
  • Every recipe uses real, whole foods: fresh vegetables and fruits, protein such as poultry, fish and some red meat with complementing whole grains, seeds and nuts, and legumes.
  • Easy to follow recipes for each dish
  • Many recipes are quick to prepare: 30-35 minute prep and cook time total for each meal.
  • Kid-friendly tips for some recipes.
  • Ideas for substituting main ingredients in some recipes
  • Nutritional information is included in all recipes.
