2-Week Meal Plan
Choosing to eat healthier with a Whole Food Mediterranean-Style Diet is a great decision, but getting started can feel overwhelming. Most of us don’t have a lot of Mediterranean-style recipes on hand. And even when we do, it’s not always clear which ones actually fit, especially when we’re still learning exactly what “Whole Food Mediterranean-Style” means!
That’s why we created this collection of over 40 meal recipes and 30 snack options. Since the average American eats just 26 different meals on a regular basis, having 70 new options already vetted by others making the same changes will give you a great start on building a library of recipes you love.
Over time, you’ll discover even more delicious recipes, recognize that some of your old favorites already fit a Whole Food Mediterranean-Style Diet, and learn how to tweak some of your other recipes to align with your new way of eating. As you do, we’d love to hear about it! We are always looking for new recipes to add to our collection.

Helpful Kitchen Tools
Some recipes may require specific kitchen tools. Here are some tools that you may want to consider investing in:
- Instant Pot - An Instant Pot makes it easy to cook staples like beans, lentils, grains, and vegetables quickly and with minimal effort.
- Rice Cooker - This rice cooker has high praise, but less expensive rice cookers work great too.
- Vegetable Steamer - A vegetable steamer provides a great alternative to boiling, baking, and frying. Steaming vegetables helps preserve nutrients and enhance the natural flavor of vegetables, and takes only minutes.
Delicious Sauces
If you know how to make a few good sauces, then you can transform any basic meal into something special. Sauces are a great way to add in healthy fats and extra calories for anyone feeling hungry. Here are some easy sauce recipes:

Where’s the beef?
You may notice that the recipes in this meal plan are made entirely from the bottom two levels of the Mediterranean Food Pyramid. This means these recipes don’t include meat, butter, or cheese. While it’s absolutely possible to eat a healthy diet that includes these foods, most of us are already surrounded by meals that have high proportions of meats, saturated fats, and dairy. These foods can be tough to cut back on, so we’ve focused on recipes that don’t include them at all. This 2-week plan is designed to help you focus on building meals from the most nutritious foods first, making it easy to increase your consumption of foods like vegetables, beans, fruits, grains, nuts, and seeds without the stress of figuring out how to remove other foods.
Meal Delivery Services
Meal delivery services save a ton of time! They can be a great option for people who have the money to pay for prepared meals, and not enough time to do regular cooking. If you go with this option, you will still need to be selective on the food that is being delivered to make sure it aligns with the Whole Food Mediterranean-Style diet.
Open and Dump Meals (Slow Cooker)
Essential Items
Over time, we've noticed that certain ingredients show up again and again in whole food, Mediterranean-style recipes. These staples form the foundation of many dishes—and once you have them stocked, cooking becomes much quicker, easier, and more affordable.
You likely already have some of these ingredients, but a few might be new to you. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the list and keeping these items on hand. Having a well-stocked pantry means you're always just a few fresh ingredients away from a delicious, nourishing meal.
Note: To keep things simple, we won’t include these essentials in the daily shopping lists below—we’ll assume you already have them. That way, your grocery trips can focus only on the fresh or one-off ingredients you actually need.

- Almond flour
- Apple cider vinegar
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Canola oil
