Due to health reasons I now need to revamp my diet and follow the mediterranean diet. plant based. gluten free and some foods need to be organic!!
What are some ideas for meals?
I can have eggs, white chicken and fish in limited quantities.
Fats are avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil.
I need to incorporate beans/seeds/nuts/chickpeas.
lots of leafy greens.
Fruits should be brightly colored for maximum anti-inflammatory properties.

This is a major overhaul for me and overwhelming.
Thanks for all your input!

Shakshuka with chickpeas, jalapeño, different colored peppers, onions, tomatoes, diced carrots. You can add any veggies that you like.

maybe you should work with a nutritionist if this is very different from how you usually eat. there are a number of cookbooks and blogs that have great recipes. I like minimalist baker, cookie and kate, vegan richa, levana's healthy cookbook, rorie's healthy cookbook.

do you like soup ( lentil, split pea, minestrone, vegetable etc) ? chia pudding? vegetarian chili, cashew cheese

I just started with the Mediterranean diet . But I’m not GF.

Firstly, you can make delicious vegetable bean soups .

I made farro for the first time yesterday and will use it as a replacement to rice .
Add to salad too.

Quinoa salad .

Breakfast for me was sautéed spinach , yellow pepper and tomatoe with olive oil and two eggs with salt and pepper (did it in the Betty Crocker but you can do in a pan)

Veggies Salad with olive oil dressing with salmon added

Salad with : greens , chickpeas , Tomatoe , cucumber , olives, feta cheese sprinkled with dressing made from
Olive oil, lemon juice, some vinegar, salt , garlic powder and lemon pepper .

Thanks for the ideas and resources! I love soup and stews so I guess I have to find recipes for that.
any other ideas for meals and recipes especially are so appreciated!

I can't have feta since I have to be dairy free as well. I am willing to do this as long as I feel better!!!
