Welcome

to our 2021 Meal Prep 101 Meal Guide!

If your last year and a half looked anything like mine, it was riddled with unexpected twists and turns, a complete 180 in stability and routine and just a touch of chaos. Needless to say, it was a challenge to maintain my regular health + wellness habits. Time to start fresh!

Our new Meal Prep 101 Guide is here to make healthy eating simple through the transition into fall and back to

school. In partnership with influencers from our Purely community, we’ve developed a complete menu of easy, meal prep-friendly recipes that are healthy, tasty and convenient.

Enjoy our new Meal Prep 101 Guide, complete with a Purely Prep School Supply List of items to support your most organized meal prep dreams, and see the final page for information on our exciting new partnership with the Whole Foods’ Whole Kids Foundation.

Spinach + Goat Cheese Quiche Gluten-Free, Grain-Free Makes 8 servings

FOR CRUST: 2 1/4 cup Purely Elizabeth Grain-Free Bread Mix 1/4 cup coconut oil 1-2 Tbsp water FOR FILLING: 5 eggs 1/2 cup milk 1 cup spinach, chopped 2 Tbsp chives, chopped 2 Tbsp parsely, chopped 1/2 tsp salt 1/3 cup goat cheese DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 350 F and lightly grease a pie pan.

Place bread mix in a mixing bowl with the coconut oil. Cut the coconut oil into the mix with a fork until crumbly and well combined. Stir in 1 Tbsp water so a sticky dough forms.

Add additional Tbsp of water if needed to bind the dough.

Press the dough into the pan and form a crust shape with crimped edges. Place the pan in the oven and pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Fold in spinach, chives, parsley and salt. Pour the egg mixture into the crust and sprinkle the goat cheese over the eggs.

Return the pan to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and lightly golden. Allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Note: For individual quiches, divide the dough between 5 tart pans. Pre-bake for 7-8 minutes and then bake with the filling for 10-15 minutes.

Superfood Granola Bars Gluten-Free, Vegan 12 Servings

INGREDIENTS: 1/2 cup Purely Elizabeth Superfood Oats 1 cup Purely Elizabeth Maple Almond Granola 1/2 cup shredded coconut Sea salt and cinnamon to taste 1/2 cup cashew butter (runny) 1/4 cup maple syrup 1/4 cup melted coconut oil 1/2 cup cacao nibs DIRECTIONS: Line an 8x8 baking tray with parchment and set aside. Pulse granola in a high-powered blender a few times to create flour texture.

Careful not to over-blend as you

want to maintain some of the crunch!

Combine superfood oats, pulsed granola, coconut and seasonings. Set aside.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt together the cashew butter, maple syrup and coconut oil for about 30 seconds. Whisk until a thick caramel glaze forms. Pour glaze into the oat mixture and stir until fully combined.

Fold in the cacao nibs, then press firmly onto the baking tray. I like to use the back of a frosting spatula to evenly spread out and press down.

Place in the freezer for 1-2 hours before slicing into 12 bars. Bars stay fresh stored in the freezer or fridge in order to maintain shape!

Let cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before slicing into squares. ENJOY!
