Sakara meal plan for half the cost

Last month I talked about my experience with Sakara, specifically their meal program and 10-day reset kit. After trying their programs I am telling you I felt amazing – the expenses, however, are much tougher to swallow. For those who are not familiar with Sakara, they are best known for their plant-based meal-delivery service.

With anything luxurious, there are always ways to get around the costs – just takes a little effort. The founders of Sakara published a cookbook, Eat Clean, Play Dirty, which can be found on Sakara’s website or Amazon for roughly $30.  Instead of getting meals prepared and delivered to me (which I loved!!), I bought their cookbook and began learning how to cook. 

Below are items I made from the Eat Clean, Play Dirty cookbook to give you a better idea!

Breakfast: Smoothie and Sexy Cinnamon Roles

I drink smoothies every morning. In my smoothies I include frozen blueberries, raspberries, black berries, banana, lemon, almond milk and the Sakara powder. The Sakara powder does have a subtle earthey flavor. The Sexy Cinnamon roles with a date caramel sauce turned out so good. Recipe makes 6 rolls, I eat 2 at a time.  

Lunch: Sakara Louie and Ceasar Salad

Very refreshing sandwich and with summer approaching it’s perfect timing. Made with celery, red pepper, carrots, hearts of palm and an herb dressing. 

If you like garlic you will love the dressing on the ceasar salad! It’s made from cashews, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and Dijon mustard. 

Dinner: Sunshine Curry Stew

Coconut milk, curry powder and lots of vegetables – you can’t go wrong! Perfect on a chilly day!

Play dirty: Turmeric Lemon Squares

Aww man, these lemon bars were too good. I could not stop eating them so after two batches I had to stop making them. While the food is more healthy, eating a whole pan of bars a day is not! Lol! 

If you end up trying Sakara let me know what you think. As you can already tell I am a huge fan primarily because of the way I feel after I eat the food!
