Note on protein planning for this vegetarian meal plan: Because all meals must be completely vegetarian, all meat and seafood items from the flyer are excluded entirely. Vegetarian proteins are sourced from dairy (Sargento Shredded Cheese, Cabot Cheese Bar), eggs (pantry staple), and beans/lentils (pantry staples). Produce, dairy, and pantry sale items carry all five meals.
